Restoration of ecological processes is key to restoring the capacity of ecosystems to support social, economic, cultural and aesthetic values. The sustainability of the restored system also depends on processes associated with carbon, nutrient and hydrologic cycles, yet most restoration monitoring is limited to plant community composition. Our research has shown that short-term plant composition monitoring is a necessary but insufficient predictor of long-term restoration success. Long-term (up to 75 years) studies in the western United States show that short-term monitoring of plant community composition alone incorrectly predicted the failure of treatments that were ultimately successful, and the success of treatments...

Of the 3 major factors (habitat loss, poisoning, and disease) that limit abundance of prairie dogs today, sylvatic plague caused by Yersinia pestis is the I factor that is beyond human control. Plague epizootics frequently kill > 99% of prairie dogs in infected colonies. Although epizootics of sylvatic plague occur throughout most of the range of prairie dogs in the United States and are well described, long-term maintenance of plague in enzootic rodent species is not well documented or understood. We review dynamics of plague in white-tailed (Cynomys leucurus), Gunnison's (C gunnisoni), and black-tailed (C ludovicianus) prairie dogs, and their rodent and flea associates. We use epidemiologic concepts to support...

These layers each depict one suite of methodological choices for designating land facets. Scroll through them to see how different choices affect land facet patterns. Methodological choices: Resolution: 1km or 270m Categorization approach: Categorical overlay- each variable is categorized into ecologically meaningful classes. Land facets are created from unique combinations of those classes. K-means clustering- an algorithm clusters the continuous variables into a designated number of facets. The Hartigan index was used to identify the optimal number of facets. Hybrid approach- a combination of the categorical overlay and a clustering method. Topographic data were categorized, and within each topographic class...
The Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) was launched in 2007 in response to concerns about threats to the State s world class wildlife resources, especially the threat posed by rapidly increasing energy development in southwest Wyoming. The overriding purpose of the WLCI is to assess and enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitats at a landscape scale, while facilitating responsible energy and other types of development. The WLCI includes partners from Federal, State, and local agencies, with participation from public and private entities, industry, and landowners. As a principal WLCI partner, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides multidisciplinary scientific and technical support to inform decisionmaking...

The condition of landscapes and the ecological communities within them is strongly related to levels of human activity. Human-dominated land uses and especially the intensity of the uses can affect adjacent ecological communities through direct, secondary, and cumulative impacts. Using land use data and a development-intensity measure derived from energy use per unit area, an index of Landscape Development Intensity (LDI) can be calculated for watersheds of varying sizes to estimate the potential impacts from human-dominated activities that are experienced by ecological systems within those watersheds. The intended use of the LDI is as an index of the human disturbance gradient (the level of human induced impacts...
This dataset depicts dominant species groups in Minnesota (USA) at year 0 (1995) from a single model run of LANDIS-II. The simulation assumed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) A2 emissions (moderate) and used the Hadley 3 global circulation model. Restoration harvest rates and intensities were simulated. Restoration harvesting was spatially allocated following ecological land units (rather than ownership) and harvest frequency, severity, and size distributions were based on historic wind and fire regimes. The projected dominant species were listed as follows: 1) Spruce and Fir; 2) Northern Hardwoods: Sugar Maple; 3) Northern Hardwoods: Red Maple; 4) Aspen and Birch; 5) White, Red, and Jack Pine; 6)...
The datatset is a compilation of all permanent (legally established) protected areas in Northwest Territories, Canada.
This dataset represents presence of Red Pine (Pinus resinosa) at year 100 (2095) in Minnesota (USA) from a single model run of LANDIS-II. The simulation assumed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) B2 emissions (moderate) and used the Hadley 3 global circulation model. Contemporary harvest rates and intensities were simulated.
This dataset represents presence of Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) in Minnesota (USA) at year 100 (2095) from a single model run of LANDIS-II. The simulation assumed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) B2 emissions (moderate) and used the Hadley 3 global circulation model. Contemporary harvest rates and intensities were simulated.

Forest Management Units are one of several GeoAdministrative layers maintained within the Base Feature dataset. GeoAdministrative boundaries are land areas that have explicitly defined boundaries, established by legislation or by an agency to manage or administer land use.
