survivalCASTOR

What it does

Estimates the survival of adult female caribou based on the proportion of early seral (i.e., 1 to 40 years) forest as presented by Wittmer et al. (2007).(see details in '/R/caribouhabitat/25Wittmercariboumodel') on southern mountain caribou (Designatable Unit 9). Specifically, we apply the population-scale model that Wittmer et al. (2007) developed.

The module requires input on forest age (output from the Castor forestry modules) and density of caribou herds. Currently, the caribou herd density parameter is static and must be set by the user. A caribou herd raster was derived from the provincial caribou herd boundary data set (see details in "/R/Params/caribouherdraster.rmd").

We caution against using the model outside of the southern mountain caribou population range, as it was developed using data only from that population, and thus may not be applicable to other parts of BC.

Management levers

  • Adult caribou female survival as an indicator being tracked through out the simulation.

Input Parameters

  • calculateInterval. The interval from which to calculate the RSF(s). Default = 1 (yearly).
  • caribouherddensity. Caribou herd density for adjusting the Wittmer et al. survival model.
  • nameRasCaribouHerd. Name of the raster of the caribou herd boundaries raster that is stored in the psql castordb. see here
  • tableCaribouHerd.The look up table to convert raster values to caribou herd name labels. The two values required are value and herd_name. see here

Data Needs

Proportion of early seral habitat.

Outputs

  • Survival report - estimate of the caribou adult female survival for each herd in the nameRasCaribouHerd for each time period of the simulation.
