Participate in this webinar for a description and demonstration of a geospatial decision support tool developed for Mississippi and learn about potential application to other regions.
Precise implementation of conservation practices (e.g., CP-33 – Habitat Buffers for Upland Birds) is the foundation of strategic conservation planning and is essential for optimization of environmental and economic benefits. Toward this end, researchers at Mississippi State University developed a regional geospatial decision support tool (Arc GIS tool) to inform the decision-making process at the field-scale. The presenters illustrate the geoprocessing workflow of the tool and demonstrate the conditions under which precision implementation of conservation practices can concomitantly increase whole-field profitability and environmental services for an example farm in Mississippi.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS National Wildlife Team located at the Central National Technology Support Center.
