Habitat Richness Map of Florida Species

Map created in ArcGIS for Geospatial Analysis Certificate showing habitat distribution for a selection of Florida species. Models were built to 1) join Florida Counties vector data with data for County Mammals 2) convert the resulting vector to raster format, 3) re-class overall state raster data according to mammal habitats, and 4) combine the two rasters from steps 2 and 3 using a conditional statement. The results of those models were then combined using map algebra to produce the final richness map.
