| Abstract | Estimates of wetland and stream extent and distribution form the basis for state and federal monitoring and management programs and guide policy development decisions. The current default approach, comprehensive mapping, provides the most complete information on extent and distribution but is prohibitively expensive across large geographic areas. In contrast, probabilistic mapping produces statistical estimates of extent and distribution at a fraction of the cost of comprehensive mapping. This study provides a direct comparison to address how well probability-based estimates of wetland extent approximate results from comprehensive mapping, and the degree to which inter-mapper variability contributes to overall error in probability-based estimates. Two regions of California were selected based on existence of recent, comprehensive wetland and stream maps. Probabilistic sample plot locations were selected by generalized random tessellation stratified sampling and sample plot maps were produced from the same source imagery as the comprehensive maps. Sample maps were compared for inter-mapper variability, plot-by-plot differences between sample and comprehensive maps, and differences between sample estimates and comprehensive totals. On a plot-by-plot basis differences in mapped wetland area between comprehensive maps and probabilistic sample maps approached 50 % in either the positive or negative direction, leading to uncertainty in directly comparing maps derived from these two approaches. With application of standardized protocols and rigorous quality control measures, we were able to achieve a 97 % overall accuracy rate between independent mapping teams applying the probabilistic mapping approach. Our results suggest caution when comparing comprehensive and sample based wetland extent estimates and highlight the importance of mapper intercalibration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
