This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to develop methods and software that can be used to evaluate or explore the impact of human population and land-use changes on species viability. Changes in human population and land use affect the viability of native species through habitat loss to agriculture, urban sprawl, and industrial development; habitat fragmentation; decreased habitat quality; and increased direct harvest of species. Existing RAMAS software for modeling the effect of changes in the quality and amount of habitat on the viability of species will be modified to allow the incorporation of the human element into this methodology. It will lead to software that will be used to forecast the changes in the human population, and the effect of these changes on the land-use and resource-use patterns. These results will be used to predict the changes in the habitat of native species, and to assess species viability and persistence. The commercial application of this project will be a specialized software product, the market for which would include federal, state and local planning agencies, international development organizations, academic institutions and non-profit research organizations.

小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目旨在开发可用于评估或探索人口和土地利用变化对物种生存能力的影响的方法和软件。 人口和土地利用的变化通过农业、城市扩张和工业发展导致的栖息地丧失、栖息地破碎化、栖息地质量下降和物种直接收获增加等方式影响本地物种的生存能力。 现有的RAMAS软件模拟的质量和数量的变化对物种的生存能力的影响的栖息地将被修改，以允许纳入人的因素到这一方法。 它将导致软件，将用于预测人口的变化，以及这些变化对土地使用和资源使用模式的影响。 这些结果将用于预测本地物种栖息地的变化，并评估物种的生存能力和持久性。该项目的商业应用将是一种专门的软件产品，其市场将包括联邦、州和地方规划机构、国际发展组织、学术机构和非营利研究组织。
