These data represent modeled stream temperatures for a portion of a larger dataset known as the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC) (https://www.fws.gov/science/catalog). This metadata record is a combined description for two spatial data feature types, vector lines and points, which cover the same geographic area. The line features are derived from NHDPlus (http://www.horizon-systems.com/NHDPlus/index.php) (USEPA and USGS, 2010) stream lines and the point data represent 1 km intervals along the NHDPlus stream network. Both datasets contain identical modeled stream temperature attributes. These modeled stream temperatures were generated as part of the U.S. Forest Service NorWeST stream temperature...
Carnivore carcasses recorded by Montana Department of Transportation, Idaho Department of Fish & Game, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service were aggregated to the nearest mile marker for major roads of the U.S. Northern Rockies. Note that wildlife carcass collection and reporting protocols and frequency differ between states and among maintenance sections within states. Carcass presence should therefore be used only to explore general patterns and not for statistical inference.

This layer represents the mile markers along the major road network of the U.S. Northern Rockies. It was created by merging Montana Department of Transportation "on-system" routes with Idaho Transportation Department "state highway system" routes, creating consistent attribute fields, then clipping to the U.S. Northern Rockies study area boundary.

The Columbia River Basin Partner Forum (CBPF) was convened to address a unique geographic sub-region of the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC). The Columbia River Basin is the drainage basin of the Columbia River and covers 668,000 km2. The Columbia River Basin includes the southeastern portion of the Canadian province of British Columbia, most of the U.S. states of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, the western part of Montana, and very small portions of Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. The GNLCC addresses landscape scale stressors across a large area of the northwest US and the Canadian west. The CBPF will follow the overall guidance and operating principals of the GNLCC set forth in the GNLCC’s Strategic...

This project builds from a body of work to support conservation planning and design for the Arid Lands Initiative (ALI) in the Columbia Plateau ecoregion. Previous work identified a suite of habitats and species along with their associated viability and stressors, as well as a portfolio of Priority Core Areas (PCAs) and high priority connectivity corridors. This previous work represents a design that, if realized, would improve protection of the current distributions of species, habitats, and connectivity corridors.This current project describes methods and results for assessing present and future condition of these PCAs. This project can be seen as an intermediate step between the identification of priority areas...
The ALI’s approach to coordinating conservation action starts with integrating the ALI’s shared priorities into partners’ implementation mechanisms, and moving to coordinated action on the ground. This approach includes three main thrusts: 1. Agreeing on where on the landscape to focus each of the six shared strategies, and on which areas and strategies partners are best able to make progress. This thrust will also include identifying stakeholders not currently working with the ALI, to start engaging them in implementation of projects. 2. Integrating the ALI priorities into partners’ existing plans and processes. This thrust also includes helping partners use the science products that underlie the ALI’s...
As the climate changes, human land use may impede species from tracking areas with suitableclimates. Maintaining connectivity between areas of different temperatures could allow organisms to movealong temperature gradients and allow species to continue to occupy the same temperature space as theclimate warms. We used a coarse-filter approach to identify broad corridors for movement between areaswhere human influence is low while simultaneously routing the corridors along present-day spatial gradientsof temperature. We modified a cost–distance algorithm to model these corridors and tested the model withdata on current land-use and climate patterns in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The resultingmaps identified...
Additional reports describing key findings for 13 case studies (including 11 species, a vegetation system, and a region). These reports are provided as appendices to the overview report, and are intended to act as stand-alone resources. They include summary descriptions of the project and assessment process; key climate impacts and adaptation actions for each case study; and all materials used to identify potential climate impacts and adaptation actions for each case study (e.g., habitat connectivity models and projected future changes in species distributions, vegetation communities, and climate variables).
The central objective of this project was to answer two questions: 1) how downscaled climate datasets, modeled vegetation changes, and information on estimated species sensitivities can be used to develop climate change adaptation strategies, and 2) how model results and datasets can be made more useful for informing the management of species and landscapes. To answer these questions, we identified enthusiastic partners working in two very different complex landscapes within the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC): the Columbia Plateau of Washington, Oregon and Idaho, and the Pioneer Mountains - Craters of the Moon (central Idaho). The issues and concerns of each group were very different both...
Patch importance provides a measure of how large, intact, and connected a “patch” of habitat is for each biome type. More “intact” patches are depicted using a more saturated (darker) color, whereas less intact have lighter, less saturated colors. Centrality flow lines depict the network of movement pathways that conceptually connect with the patches of a given biome type. Thicker and darker red lines indicate more central locations where more “movement flow” is predicted to occur, while the location of the lines depicts where the movement pathways are best placed to avoid places of high human activity.
Modern climate change has already begun to alter ecological and human systems. Many of the changes projected for the coming century will necessitate management responses if we wish to maintain functioning ecosystems, protect rare species, and derive needed ecosystem services. Prioritizing management actions in the face of climate change and developing adaptation strategies requires an understanding of how climates will change and which species and systems will be most vulnerable to those changes. We are currently undertaking a climate change culnerability assessment for the Pacific Northwestern US. This assessment involves: developing on-line databases that document species and system sensitivities to climate change...
Fact Sheet
This categorical CWD raster was developed from a project-wide CWD raster. For each of the five fracture zones, the CWD raster was partitioned into zone-specific, 10 equal-area class map, ranging from low CWD to high CWD.
This cost-weighted distance (CWD) raster was developed from a generalized shrub-steppe and grassland (SSGL) species guild resistance model based on 20th percentile of resistance values for the five statewide analysis (WHCWG 2010) focal species in this biome, including sage-grouse, black-tailed jackrabbit, white-tailed jackrabbit, badger, and sharp-tailed grouse.
Populations of many cold-water species are likely to decline this century with global warming, but declines will vary spatially and some populations will persist even under extreme climate change scenarios. Especially cold habitats could provide important refugia from both future environmental change and invasions by non-native species that prefer warmer waters. The Climate Shield website hosts geospatial data and related information that describes specific locations of cold-water refuge streams for native Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout across the American West. Forecasts about the locations of refugia could enable the protection of key watersheds, be used to rally support among multiple stakeholders, and provide...

Description: With their project, Building Cross Cultural Capacity in the Crown of the Continent, Kimberly Paul and Laura Caplins are working to increase the “cross cultural capacity” of indigenous and non-indigenous groups to collaborate on climate adaptation in the Crown of the Continent. In order to achieve this purpose, the objectives of this project are to identify the necessary protocols for collaboration between the Blackfeet Nation and government and non-government agencies active in the CoC, and to the priorities of the Blackfeet Nation in climate change adaptation. This presentation will discuss the emerging themes on these two topics.

Spring has come to the Rockies and with it some recent meetings of collaboratives that are moving landscape conservation forward in the region. In this installment of the Great Northern LLC Rocky Mountain Partner Forum newsletter we have updates on some recent collaborative meetings and the work they are planning for the future. In highlighting these collaboratives we hope to inform, educate, and inspire. This newsletter is only a snapshot of the work being carried out on this landscape. If you are interested in learning more about, or connecting to, any of the featured initiatives we hope that you will reach out to one another. We would also love to feature your work through the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum newsletter...
