Summary

Two different great basin perimeter files were intersected and dissolved to create the outer perimeter of the great basin for use modeling long-term wildfire effects on sage-grouse population growth, and development of sage-grouse concentration areas based on modeled habitat quality, lek density, and population abundance (Coates et al. 2015). These two perimeter files included a 1:1,000,000 map of hydrographic areas in the Great Basin) (Buto 2009), and vegetation characteristics (Karl et al. 2001). The resulting Modified Great Basin Extent represented a combination of hydrographic and floristic features best suited for the defining the spatial extent of the analyses. To ensure moving window analyses of habitat and fire areas covered [...]

Purpose

To create a layer of modified delineation of the outer perimeter of the Great Basin for use in analyses of long-term wildfire effects on sage-grouse population growth. This defined the extent of sage-grouse concentration areas based on modeled habitat quality, lek density, and population abundance (Coates et al. 2015).
