Colin's Atlassing Blog: SABAP2 Coverage SHP File
http://colinsbirds.blogspot.com/2009/06/sabap2-coverage-shp-file.html
Friday, 5 June 2009. SABAP2 Coverage SHP File. I was thinking about the easiest way of planning an atlas trip, and if one is using a GIS viewer like Christine [or if you are lucky enough, ArcView], it did occur to me that if the most recent coverage and species richness data were available in SHP file format, it would really make life a whole lot easier. The shp file displayed on the image here is only 74KB when zipped]. Posted by Colin Summersgill. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). If you have downloa...

Colin's Atlassing Blog: October 2009
http://colinsbirds.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 10 October 2009. Some SABAP2 vs SABAP1 Comparisons. This map shows the coverage achieved in SABAP1. I have used the same colours as those on the SABAP2 website. See http:/ sabap2.adu.org.za/coverage map mapped.php]. All the data needed to compile these maps was off the SABAP2 website [http:/ sabap2.adu.org.za]. This is what we have achieved as at 8 October 2009 for SABAP2. Map of the cards per QDGC in SABAP2 less the cards per QDGC for SABAP1. I then looked at the species richness per QDGC.

SABAP2 in KwaZulu-Natal: July 2012
http://kznatlasingblog.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 5 July 2012. Cards to Green Update for KZN. As of 4th July 2012 we had 38 pentads with no data, as w e head steadily towards the 100% mark for KZN. This major drop has been mostly attributable to John and Kim Cox's work between Paulpietersburg and Ithala. Alan Manson has also been steadily picking off blank penatds between Pomeroy and Washbank. It would seem that winter has not really deterred neither the atlassers, nor their subjects. Posted by Colin Summersgill. Wednesday, 4 July 2012. The pa...

SABAP2 in KwaZulu-Natal: May 2012
http://kznatlasingblog.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 17 May 2012. Quick post of a map with of the pentads with no data. 10 pentads between Paulpietersburg and Ithala GR. There are another possible 3 pentads along the Swazi border here as well. There is one pentad east of Ithala, and another 4 to the south-east, heading towards Nongoma. [17]. 7 pentads at NE iSimangaliso WP [7/24]. 2 pentads west of Chelmsford on the Free State border. 3 in the Biggarsberg between the N11 and FS border. 5 west of Pomeroy heading towards Wasbank. [10/34]. This is t...

SABAP2 in KwaZulu-Natal: KZN CTG 23 May to 5 June
http://kznatlasingblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/kzn-ctg-23-may-to-5-june.html
Wednesday, 5 June 2013. KZN CTG 23 May to 5 June. This last fortnight again saw 14 cards submitted that contributed to the CTG effort in KZN. Last fortnight had 27 cards, but the one before also had 14 cards, or exactly one CTG card/day. This time the spread is from around Vryheid, inland from the North Coast and some north of the Durban-PMB axis. 2831 saw the largest gain with 4 cards followed by 2730 with 3 and 2930 with 2. 2830 gained a single card so now needs 318. Duncan McKenzie with 4. 16 Pentads ...

SABAP2 in KwaZulu-Natal: KZN CTG 9 to 22-May
http://kznatlasingblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/kzn-ctg-9-to-22-may.html
Wednesday, 8 May 2013. KZN CTG 9 to 22-May. This last fortnight saw 27 cards submitted which contributed to the Cards-to-Green effort in KZN. This is nearly twice the number submitted for the previous fortnight. The daily average was 1.9 cards / day. The last time that we reached these heights was in January when we had four weeks of 2.0 / day. These 27 cards included 15 second cards. Well done KZN, especially for this time of year. On the positive side 2832 now only needs 6 cards and 2931 sixteen. Looki...

SABAP2 in KwaZulu-Natal: January 2013
http://kznatlasingblog.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 January 2013. KZN CTG from 3-Jan to 30-Jan. The last 4 weeks saw 45 cards submitted that contributed to the Cards-to-Green effort in KZN. The bulk of these were in the Vryheid and Amatikulu areas, but there has also been a steady chipping away throughout the rest of the province. This represents an average of 1.6 cards/day, this is still 0.2 above our overall average. The biggest movers on this table were 2730 and 2831 each with 9 cards, and 2731 with 6. 7 Tim Wood [S Coast inland]. 1 Malco...

SABAP2 in KwaZulu-Natal: April 2013
http://kznatlasingblog.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 24 April 2013. KZN CTG 11 to 24 April. As is often the case in mid-autumn, contributions to the atlas project have a tendency to slow, and this last fortnight was no different. We had 6 submissions which contributed to the KZN Cards-to-Green project, with most movement in the south for change. As can be seen from the table, there was one submission each in 2730, 2830 and 2930, while 3030 benefited from 3 cards. Tim Wood takes the honours this fortnight with 4 of the six cards, viz. Wednesday, ...

SABAP2 in KwaZulu-Natal: KZN Pentad Charts
http://kznatlasingblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/kzn-pentad-charts.html
Thursday, 9 May 2013. These pentad charts are a useful tool for planning atlas trips, especially as we start to add cards to pentads, these allow one to see the seasonality of submissions and so fill gaps in that way. These maps are either available in xls format [click on the link on the right] or if you email me I can send you a pdf of the area that you are looking for. The pdf maps are only about 30KB as opposed to the 1.1MB of the xls files. Posted by Colin Summersgill. 16 Pentads to 100% KZN Coverage.

SABAP2 in KwaZulu-Natal: December 2012
http://kznatlasingblog.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 5 December 2012. CTG for 22-Nov to 5-Dec 2012. Herewith this fortnight's Cards to Green map. As per last fortnight we have a slight correction, John Cox pointed out that I had missed one of the sliver pentads along the iSimangaliso coast. This pentad only has two cards, so I have added another 2 to the number of cards needed for degree square 2832 - which now needs 8 cards and not the 6 as published last fortnight. Had 7 cards and 173 spp in SABAP1 against the SABAP2 75 and 227;. With 4/103 an...
