Automated
Assessment
Method
for
North-
Eastern
Wetlands
AMNEWwas
developed at the University of Vermont
School of Natural Resources
by Paul Cedfeldt, Mary Watzin and Bruce Dingee Richardson to provide
a
comprehensive
GIS based tool that can identify functionally important wetlands in
the
Northeast
United States. AMNEW is a suite of eight separate ArcInfo GIS
AML
programs
that run in ArcInfo's Grid module. Using remotely sensed land
use information
and
DEMs as input, AMNEW will output three separate grids of wetlands that
perform
three
primary wetland functions: floodflow alteration, surface water
quality improvement,
and
wildlife habitat. A list of predictors
for each function is available.
