  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of Fazenda Surrão; instead, georeferenced to the area of Surrão in Mun. Bonfim, Roraima. Referred to "Fig. 1: Map do Território Federal de Roraima (Brasil) mostrando as regiões e as fazendas estudadas," from "Deficiéncias Minerais em Bovinos de Roraima, Brasil: IV. Magnésio, Sódio e Potássio" for location information for Fazenda Surrão, along BR-401 (deduced that BR-402 was mistakenly noted on label instead of BR-401 from reference to other locality descriptions and because there is no road BR-402 in Roraima) (Sousa, J.C. el al. (1987). Deficiéncias Minerais em Bovinos de Roraima, Brasil: IV. Magnésio, Sódio e Potássio." Pesq. agropec. bras., Brasília, p 91, from file:///C:/Users/ekiernan/Downloads/14220-63332-1-SM%20(1).pdf, accessed: 12/2/2014). Used the reference map and Google Maps - Earth View to find the location of Surrão, along BR-401. Used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate area of Surrão as designated by the reference map. Because the area does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the nearest named place, Cachoeirinha, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (2040.0 m), and measurement error (2.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
