1. Click the ‘Get Form’ button to access the lesson 7 form. This will open the document in your preferred editing platform.
2. Begin by familiarizing yourself with the background section of the lesson. This provides essential context about the modeling process and the importance of using environmental layers for detecting tamarisk.
3. In the next section, focus on preparing the Landsat data and random point data as specified. Ensure that you reference the appropriate tutorials for detailed guidance.
4. For inputting the Maxent model, collect the necessary CSV files from the random points file created in previous tutorials. Make sure to add X and Y coordinates and format the file accordingly.
5. Convert all environmental layer files to ASCII format using the ArcCatalog tool, as these are required for the Maxent model.
6. Download the Maxent software. Follow the instructions carefully, filling in your information as required to complete the download.
7. Set up a workspace, create a directory for outputs, and adjust the memory settings within the maxent.bat file to ensure smooth operation of the software.
8. Open the Maxent model by launching the maxent.bat file. Provide the necessary input files for samples and environmental layers as specified in the instructions.
9. Review your selections for creation of response curves and any output preferences before clicking the Run button to execute the model.
10. Once the model has completed, check the output directory for results and begin interpreting the outputs as guided in related tutorials.
