Colorado Plateau REA: links to species data The Colorado Plateau Rapid Ecoregional Assessment (REA) website has links to the components of the final report. Appendix C, titled Wildlife Species Conservation Elements, contains analyses and maps of species distribution and vulnerability to change agents (potential for change in near term and long term). There are also additional sage-grouse and tamarisk inserts in the appendices section of the report. Data from the report, including maps of species distributions, are shared through the Colorado Plateau REA Data Portal . Data portal maps are downloadable and can be viewed through map services and ArcGIS.com. Analyses were completed for the following species: Black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) Desert...

Data from the report are shared through the Colorado Plateau REA Data Portal . Data portal maps are downloadable and many can be viewed through map services and ArcGIS.com. Climate Change is one of the change agents addressed in the assessment. Many of the climate projection maps cover the western U.S., not only the area of the Colorado Plateau. Here is a small sample of the maps available: Average Annual Temperature (1968-1999) from PRISM (Western US) Average Annual Temperature (2015-2030) Simulated by RegCM3 with ECHAM5 Projections as Boundary Conditions (Western US) Average Annual Total Precipitation...

Appendix B, titled Ecological Systems Conservation Elements, focuses on ecological systems (types of vegetation communities). It contains descriptions of the models used to answer management questions and the mapped results. The results are also are shared through the Colorado Plateau REA Data Portal . Data portal maps are downloadable and can be viewed through map services and ArcGIS.com. Ecological Systems Management Questions addressed by the REA report: MQ C1. Where are existing vegetation communities of interest present and what is their current status? MQ C2. Where are vegetative communities vulnerable... Categories: Web Site; Tags: Colorado Plateau National Ecological Observatory Network- Southern Rockies/ Colorado Plateau Domain The Southern Rockies-Colorado Plateau Domain offers research opportunities focused on land use. The domain itself includes large sections of the states that comprise the Four Corners: New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. The NEON candidate core site will be located in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in the northeastern corner of the domain at the University of Colorado Mountain Research Center at Niwot Ridge, Colorado. Niwot Ridge has served as both a Long-Term Ecological Research site and an Ameriflux (atmospheric) research site. Research aspects unique to the area include: the impacts of urban pollution (from the Denver metropolitan corridor) on the endangered alpine ecosystem, a high-elevation to Great...
