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.

The dark red QDGC's are those for which there are more than 100 SABAP1 cards than SABAP2 cards.
The pink QDGC's have 11-100 less SABAP2 than SABAP1 cards.
The pale blue have 10-0 less SABAP2 than SABAP1 cards.
The pale green have 0-10 more SABAP2 than SABAP1, while the darker green have 11-50 more SABAP2 than SABAP1 cards.


I then looked at the species richness per QDGC.

This map shows the species recorded per QDGC in SABAP1.
Again the standard SABAP2 website Species Richness colours have been used, and again all data were of the SABAP2 website.





This is the Species Richness map as at 8 October 2009 for SABAP2, reduced to QDGC's.

Note that the only QDGC in SABAP2 with more than 300 species in KZN [so far] is 2732CB Lower Mkuze.






This map is of QDGC's where the SABAP1 species count per QDGC has been subtracted from that of SABAP2.
The red coloured QDGC's are those where SABAP1 has more than 100 species recorded than for SABAP2.
The pink QDGC's have 26-100 more SABAP1 species than SABAP2.
The pale blue have 0-25 more for SABAP1 than SABAP2.
The pale green have 0-25 more SABAP2 than SABAP1.
The mid-green have 26-50 more than SABAP1, while the dark green at Vryheid has more than 50 SABAP2 species recorded than SABAP1.

To give one an idea of the finer spatial resolution that SABAP2 is using, this is what the species richness map for SABAP2 at the same date, looked like refined back to the project resolution of a pentad.
