Tools: AML Scripts used in this study

1."project.aml and GEO_al.prj"
This script and the additional projection file were used to project all of our data sets into Albers.
download: | project.aml | GEO_al.prj |

2."autogenerate_polygon_area_and_perimeter_table.aml"
This script exports the polygon information for a coverage into a .csv ("comma seperated values") file. Full details are included in the header of the script.
download: | autogenerate_polygon_area_and_perimeter_table.aml |

3."auto_buffer.aml"
To use this script additional columns must be added to each coverage table describing the size of each buffer to be applied to each polygin in the coverage. This script will read the buffer values in the coverage table and buffer accordingly.
download: | auto_buffer.aml |

4."merge_coverages.aml"
For the sampling to be automated, all of the coverages of interested were merged. Regions were then used to determine the species counts for each park or sampling cell.
download: | merge_coverage.aml |

5."union_spcs2plots.aml"
By unioning the sampling coverages (plots or parks) with the species coverages, species counts could be determined by the number of regions inside each sampling cell or park.
