Moose Monitoring Protocol for the Arctic Inventory and Monitoring Network Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) # 2 Selecting the Survey Area
Sorum M and Joly K. 2018. Moose Monitoring Protocol for the Arctic Inventory and Monitoring Network Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) # 2 Selecting the Survey Area. National Park Service.
This Standard Operating Procedure explains (1) how to define the individual sample units; (2) how to select the overall survey area based on the survey units; (3) how to stratify those units into two or more strata; (4) how to select survey units to sample; and (5) allocation of sampling effort. Most of these instructions are taken directly from Gasaway et al. (1986), Ver Hoef (2000) or Kellie and Delong (2006). Kellie and Delong (2006) is a 50 page manual detailing exactly how to set up and conduct a GeoSpatial moose survey, and should be used as the primary reference. This Protocol and SOPs consist of a general overview of Kellie and Delong (2006).
