  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Since specific reference to the precise location of Fazenda Juerana could not be found, used the rest of the information provided in the locality description to find the most likely position of the specified Fazenda, and the place of collection within it. Therefore, georeferenced to a point along the forested northern edge of a large Fazenda area (very close to the boundaries of the Reserva Biólogica de Una), which has its entrance approximately 18 km along BA-669 from Una to Sao José da Vitória, in Mun. Una, Bahia. Using Distance Measurement Tool, found the location of the open, Fazenda area located 18 km along BA-669 from Una to Sao José da Vitória. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates for a centrally located point along the forested northern boundary of the Fazenda. Using Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again, to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the most distant part of the Fazenda. Input coordinates, linear extent (2328.77 m), and measurement error (0.01 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded area).
