QGIS for Ecologists : An Introduction to Mapping for Ecological Surveys

This book is aimed at the level of beginners, with no prior experience of GIS or QGIS required. This text takes the reader through the basic stages of mapping for ecological projects. It is timely as QGIS now provides an open source system for all ecologists to have access to software to produce their own maps for reports. This book is much needed as a guide to the production of maps for Ecologists in their day-to-day ecological consultancy work. This book includes downloadable data/CD for use in producing the maps described. Readers will learn how to produce six maps for ecological reports; an aerial imagery survey map, desk study map, site overview map, protected species map, Phase 1 habitat map, NVC habitat map. The book includes workflows that readers can follow with their own data and covers methods for digital data capture in the field.
