  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Could not locate the Fazenda Santa Rita using any online resources (no small-scale paper maps were available for this area); however, lat. Long. coordinates for another collection made near the "Fazenda Santa Rita" by this same collector in a different year were found in the Emu Database (NY Site IRN: 908038). Therefore, Georeferenced to the closest point at 700m within a forested area to the coordinates provided in the other site related to the Fazenda Santa Rita (20 45 37 S, 42 03 24 W), in Mun. Faria Lemos, Minas Gerais. Using Google Maps - Terrain View, Satellite View, and What's Here tool identified this point as described, and found its coordinates (final). Using Google Maps - Measure Distance tool, measured a straight line from the selected final coordinates at 700m elevation within a forest closest to the coordinates from the other record related to the Fazenda Santa Rita, to the farthest point within the contiguous forested area which is also at 700m elevation (-20.746208, -42.044740). Input linear extent (2064.0 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined area).
