Glade mappers then made adjustments in mapping process following field visits and further discussions with ecologists. Printed copies of initial glade maps for regions field examined were compared at a variety of landscape locations. Cooperating ecologists included the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Missouri Department of Conservation, Missouri Natural Areas Committee, Mark Twain National Forest, Central Hardwoods Joint Venture, and The Nature Conservancy.
Systematically established line grids over 610 7.5 minute quadrangle maps across Missouri thought most likely to contain locations for mappable glade natural communities. The quadrangle maps were selected based on interpretations of geologic substrate, topography, changes in soil characteristics and concomitant land use patterns. Based on published glade definition (Nelson 2012, Nelson et al. 2013) determined the extent of glade quality, size and limitations for the mapping of glades. Each 7.5 minute quadrangle map was divided into linear grids approximately 1,500 feet wide. Mapping progressed from top left to the bottom right across the grid. Glade polygons were delineated using the hand drawing tool in ArcMap 10 using the combination of leaf off and infrared imagery to interpret various image signatures. Various landscapes were field examined for presumed glade patterns to validate image interpretations. Completed quad maps were tracked on Missouri’s index to published quadrangle sheets. Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial layers and information used to map glades included:
i. Topographic contour map (Digital Raster Graphics, 1:24,000 quad maps from the Missouri Spatial Data Information Service (MSDIS).
ii. Infrared (IR) 4 band provided by the Missouri Resources Assessment Partnership (earlier infrared provided by the United States Forest Service).
iii. Two foot resolution leaf-off aerial photography: MISDIS for specified 7.5 minute quad maps.
iv. Google Earth image selections of various quality; not geospatial.
v. Natural Heritage Database; presence of Element of Occurrence Record (EOR) locations for glades and glade indicator species of conservation concern. Example: presence of EOR for Liatris mucronata in fully closed red cedar canopy.
vi. State Soil Geographic Database (STATSGO) United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) soil data mart coupled with USDA-NRCS Missouri Soil Series descriptions: tested but generally not useful.
vii. Geology (United States Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral on-line spatial data: Missouri Geology descriptions). Used to generally delineate glade rock type.P.W. NelsonJ.A. FitzgeraldK. LarsonR.
