Conservation potential of Spadefoot assemblage, summarized by township, for the Wyoming Basin Rapid Ecoregional Assessment project area. Areas with the highest conservation potential had the highest landscape level values and the lowest landscape level risks. See the Assessment Framework Chapter 2 of the Wyoming Basin REA report at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20151155 for additional details.
Conservation potential of mule deer, summarized by township, for the Wyoming Basin REA project area. Areas with the highest conservation potential had the highest landscape level values and the lowest landscape level risks. See the Assessment Framework Chapter 2 of the Wyoming Basin REA report at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20151155 for additional details.
Landscape-level ecological risk for cutthroat trout was based on Aquatic Development Index score, risk of low summer flow, and hybridization risk compiled into an overall index of conservation potential for each fifth-level watershed. To account for different spatial patterns of habitats (mainstems, headwaters, and lakes), we combined area ranks based on stream segment length and number of populations (based on counts of occupied segments and lakes) into an overall risk.
Ranks of landscape level ecological risks for five needle pine, summarized by township, in the Wyoming Basin REA project area. Landscape level risk based on Terrestrial Development Index (TDI). Risk classes based on mean TDI score by township. Lowest risk corresponds to TDI less than 1, medium risk corresponds to TDI 1 to 3, Highest risk corresponds TDI greater than 3. See table 16.3 and appendix in the Wyoming Basin REA report at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20151155 for additional details.
Local Aquatic Development Index (LADI) for wetlands in the Wyoming Basin REA project area. ADI scores are based on a ranked index of combined disturbances assessed at the local catchment (LADI) scale. The LADI quantifies the relative disturbance within a catchment for four disturbance variable classes: transportation (roads and railroads, area and number of crossings), energy and minerals (number of oil and gas wells, number of wind turbines, mine area), water (number of dams, number of surface diversions and length of 303d streams) and land use (agriculture, e.g. pasture and cropland, and urban land covers). LADI scores range from 0 to 100 percent and were divided into seven classes for visualization purposes....
We assessed development levels in spadefoot assemblage based on the regional Terrestrial Development Index (TDI) map, and then used the resulting output to calculate patch size and structural connectivity metrics. We mapped the structural connectivity of relatively undeveloped areas (TDI less than or equal to 1 percent) at two inter patch distances based on connectivity analysis; local (0.27 km), landscape (3.51 km). See Chapter 2 Assessment Framework and Appendix of the Wyoming Basin REA Open File Report at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20151155 for additional details.
Information provided by Colorado Parks and Wildlife identifying sixth-level watersheds (HUC-12) with occurrence of any of the three-fish species (bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker or roundtail chub).
Map displays probability of suitable habitat for tamarisk during a future period of 2016 to 2030.
The Individual Tree Species Parameter Maps (ITSP) were developed to support the National Insect and Disease Risk Map (NIDRM) since insect and disease risk is often driven by the density of a given species. While similar to the Tree Atlas, the ITSP project mapped basal area and stand density index for each individual tree species. The parameter products are based on 30 meter Landsat satellite data, climate, terrain, and soil predictor layers and ground samples from the USFS Forest Inventory and Analysis plot data. Many other applications and analyses requiring tree species density could benefit from this spatially refined dataset. Data were supplied to USGS by Vern Thomas from the USDA Forest Service in Fort Collins....
Structural connectivity of baseline mule deer crucial winter range in the Wyoming Basin Rapid Ecoregional Assessment project area. We mapped the structural connectivity for local connectivity (1.8km), landscape connectivity (5.31km), and regional connectivity (11.79km).. See Chapter 2 Assessment Framework and Appendix of the Wyoming Basin REA Open File Report at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20151155 for additional details.
Distance (m) to Perennial Water within the Wyoming Basins Ecoregional Assessment area, produced by Hanser and others, 2011 (Hanser, S. E., M. Leu, S. T. Knick, and C. L. Aldridge, eds. 2011.

To map connectivity, we assessed development levels for relatively undeveloped areas based on the regional Terrestrial Development Index (TDI) map (TDI scores less than or equal to 1 percent), and then used the resulting output to calculate patch size and structural connectivity metrics. We mapped the structural connectivity of relatively undeveloped areas (TDI less than or equal to 1 percent) at three inter patch distances based on connectivity analysis; local (1.8 km), landscape (2.25 km), and regional (3.51 km) scales. See Chapter 2 Assessment Framework and Appendix of the Wyoming Basin REA Open File Report for additional details at http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1223/.
Terrestrial Development Index (TDI) for transportation in the Wyoming Basin REA project area. TDI scores are based on the percent of transportation surface disturbance footprint from development within a 2.25 km radius moving window for a 15m cell size. The TDI quantifies the total area of transportation surface disturbance footprint. TDI scores range from 0 to 100 percent and were divided into seven classes for visualization purposes. Because the development scores are continuous, alternative classes can be used to display the data to address a particular management question. For additional information see the Development Chapter 4 and the Appendix in the Wyoming Basin REA Open File Report.

Average annual temperature for 2076-2090 projected by the GFDL 2.1 GCM run 1 driven by the A2 emissions scenario at 1/8 degree latitude-longitude (approximately 12km by 12 km) over the Wyoming Basin and surrounding areas. BCSD data downloaded the "Downscaled CMIP3 and CMIP5 Climate and Hydrology Projections," archived at http://gdo-dcp.ucllnl.org/downscaled_cmip_projections/.
The 303(d) Listed Impaired Waters program system provides impaired water data and impaired water features reflecting river segments, lakes, and estuaries designated under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Each State will establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for these waters. Note the CWA Section 303(d) list of impaired waters does not represent waters that are impaired but have an EPA approved TMDL established, impaired waters for which other pollution control mechanisms are in place and expected to attain water quality standards, or waters impaired as a result of pollution and is not caused by a pollutant; therefore, the "Impaired Waters" layers do not represent all impaired waters reported in a state's...
Current Bioclimatic envelope for Aspen. Data from Rehfeldt, G.E., Crookston, H.L., SaenzRomero, C, and Campbell, E.M., 2012, North 1 American vegetation model for land use planning in a changing climate. A solution to large 2 classification problems: Ecological Applications, v. 22, no. 1, p. 119 to 141.
This creates a Terrestrial Development Index score using just energy, minerals, roads, and railroads to address a management question for mule deer. There is evidence from the published literature that mule deer avoid these development variables, so we used a subset of the overall TDI input variables to evaluate.
