This dataset represents the variety (count of unique classes within 0.5 ha) of vegetation communities, river channel and bare areas (often sand bars) mapped along the Colorado River bottomland from the Colorado state line (San Juan and Grand Counties, Utah) to the southern Canyonlands NP boundary, as of September 2010. Traditional image interpretation cues were used to develop the polygons, such as shape, size, pattern, tone, texture, color, and shadow, from high resolution, true color, aerial imagery (0.3m resolution), acquired for the project. Additional, public available aerial photos (NAIP, 2011) were used to cross-reference cover classes. As with any digital layer, this layer is a representation of what is...
Final models for riparian understory plus all model component layers. For more detailed information, please visit this project's ScienceBase landing page at https://doi.org/10.5066/P927I36K, or the final report for this project at https://www.coloradomesa.edu/water-center/documents/rasmussen_shaftroth_2016_watercenter_cmu.pdf.
Final model for bat feeding. For more detailed information, please visit this project's ScienceBase landing page at https://doi.org/10.5066/P927I36K, or the final report for this project at https://www.coloradomesa.edu/water-center/documents/rasmussen_shaftroth_2016_watercenter_cmu.pdf.

This collection of maps shows fluvial geomorphic features of the Colorado River bottomland including river channel boundaries at high flow (31,300 cubic ft/sec on 06/28/2011 at the Cisco gage) and at lower flow (3,410 cubic ft/sec on 09/06/2010 at the Cisco gage). Also shown is the bottomland boundary delineating the currently active fluvial surface; the bottomland is subdivided by both reaches and bottomland kilometers for reference. Centerlines for the bottomland and 2010 river channel are included, also.

This set of maps shows relative habitat quality for species that prefer open areas. Component layers (herbacoeus areas, distance to high water) are included, as are associated layers of channel boundaries, reaches, and bottomland kilometers.

We mapped surface water from high resolution photography taken on September 16, 2010, at a stream flow of 96.5 m3/s (3,410 ft3/s, Cisco gage). We subdivided surface water into six categories: primary channel, secondary channel, split flow channel, backwater, isolated pool, and tributary channel, similar to that of fish habitat methods used extensively in Oregon. Channel types that are not primary channel are considered ‘off-channel’.

These layers show some of the human interactions with the bottomland area. Recreation sites, roads, fuel treatment areas, and river camp layers were all acquired from project partners or publically available data and clipped to or near the bottomland boundary for use here. Bottomland reaches, kilometers, 2010 channel layers were created for the Colorado River Conservation Planning project.

This is a habitat suitability model for bat feeding in the Colorado River bottomland in Utah. The model incorporates distance to water, stillness of adjacent water, and the variety of dominant cover types within 0.5 ha radius. See Open File Report, Rasmussen and Shafroth, Colorado River Conservation Planning for geoprocessing details.

This dataset represents relative patch size of riparian trees as mapped along the Colorado River bottomland from the Colorado state line (San Juan and Grand Counties, Utah) to the southern Canyonlands NP boundary, as of September 2010. This mapping was conducted as part of the Colorado River Conservation Planning Project, a joint effort between the National Park Service, The Nature Conservancy, US Geological Survey, Bureau of Land Management, and Utah Forestry Fire and State Lands.

This is a habitat suitability model for snakes that prefer the rocky boundaries of the bottomland of the Colorado River in Utah. The model incorporates distance to water, distance to the bottomland boundary, diversity of woody cover, and diversity of cover types within a 50 sq meter areas. See Open File Report, Rasmussen and Shafroth, Colorado River Conservation Planning for geoprocessing details.

With the help of local and regional natural resource professionals, we developed a broad-scale, spatially-explicit assessment of 146 miles (~20,000 acres) of the Colorado River mainstem in Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah that can be used to support conservation planning and riparian restoration prioritization. For the assessment we: 1) acquired, modified or created spatial datasets of Colorado River bottomland conditions; 2) synthesized those datasets into habitat suitability models and estimates of natural recovery potential, fire risk and relative cost; 3) investigated and described dominant ecosystem trends and human uses, and; 4) suggested site selection and prioritization approaches. Here, we make available...

This set of maps shows relative habitat quality for riparian understory species, both with and without a penalty applied for abundant tamarisk. Component layers are included, as are complementary layers of channel boundaries, reaches, and bottomland kilometers.
All of the component layers for the Cost of Restoration model.

This collection of maps shows vegetation cover types that are either Dominant or Common (see project documentation for full methodology in mapping). Sparse cover types are not shown here. All patches have a dominant cover type, but not all have a Common type. Vegetation features were mapped by National Park Service staff; ground-truthing and editing of vegetation data was done by project staff, as was mapping of bare areas and channel features. Associated layers of river channels, reaches, and bottomland kilometers are included for reference.
