Historic Distribution of the Sage-grouse in North America This metadata references the polygonal ARC/INFO GIS cover showing the current and historic distribution of potential habitat, or range, of the Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and Gunnison Sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus) in Western North America. This data was initially researched and compiled by Dr. Michael A. Schroeder, research biologist for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The initial draft of current and historic range data was mapped and submitted to state, federal, or provincial natural resource agencies and other experts for review, comment, and editing. The final product represents the best available science and expert review available at the time of compilation. ...

Each major structural component of ecosystems (land surface forms, surficial lithology, bioclimates, topographic moisture potential, and so forth) was modeled and then spatially combined to produce a new map of biophysical settings, termed ecosystem structural footprints. These ecosystem structure units characterize...

Using the terrestrial ecosystem map produced by the World Bank and CCAD in 2000, The Nature Conservancy and NatureServe, crosswalked the aforementioned ecosystem classification with the NatureServe standard classification for Latin America and the Caribbean (2003). The purpose of this map is to have a consistent ecosystem map for Latin America, as South America has an ecosystem map using the NatureServe classification since 2005. The ecosystem crosswalk was done by Maarten Kappelle, Lenin Corrales, Carmen Josse and Leonardo Sotomayor, and was completed in June 2010. The crosswalk was done in several parts. First, the...
