Mississippi River Basin Gridded SSURGO Hydric Classification – Presence "hydclprs". An indication of the proportion of the map unit that is hydric, based on the hydric classification of individual map unit components.

Pilot Basins are HU-4 basins where there is an alignment of ecological and production systems of interest with areas thought to be producing significant agricultural nutrient loads and possessing significant implementation interests. These provisional basins represent areas of greatest opportunity in terms of need and potential for conservation delivery. Two tiers of pilot basins were identified for version 1.02 of the Conservation Blueprint. Tier 1 pilot basins have the highest nutrient load potential and the highest amount of watershed implementation interest, while Tier 2 pilot basins have either lower load potential or lower watershed implementation interest than Tier 1 pilot basins. Implementation opportunities...

The Gridded SSURGO National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (NCCPI), version 2.0, arrays soils according to their inherent capacity to produce dryland (nonirrigated) commodity crops. Most of the NCCPI criteria relate directly to the ability of soils, landscapes, and climates to foster crop productivity. A few criteria relate to factors that can limit use of the land (e.g., surface boulders). All criteria used in the index affect crop culture and production and are referred to as factors affecting inherent productivity. Higher values represent higher capacity for production. Extent: Mississippi River Basin. IN ORDER TO CREATE A MANAGEABLE FILE SIZE, THE ORGINAL DATA WAS MULTIPLIED BY 100, THUS VALUES RANGE FROM...

Estimated number of breeding pairs of Grasshopper sparrow based on the amount of grass, trees, and/or hay in the landscape. Landscape scale varied from 1/4- to 2-mile radius depending on the species. Pair estimates were calculated for grass patches >=1 ha, extrapolated to 40-ac cells, then smoothed by averaging over a 1-mile radius. Models were based on point count surveys conducted in 2003-2005 throughout the Tallgrass Prairie Pothole Region. Point count locations were stratified by cover type, the amount of grass in the landscape, and USFWS Wetland Management District boundaries. Landcover data were derived from 2000 Thematic Mapper imagery. Grid values = number of breeding pairs per 30-m pixel.

Predictions of the number of upland nesting duck pairs (mallards, blue-winged teal, gadwall, northern pintail, and northern shoveler) that could potentially nest in the upland habitats of every 40 acre block of the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR). These predictions are based on the known maximum travel distances of hens from wetlands to their nest sites, and regressions (statistical models) created from 4 square mile survey data predicting the number of duck pairs that utilize every individual wetland in PPR during a “typical” breeding season. GRID CODE = Number of Duck Pairs: 1 = 0-10; 2 = 11-20; 3 = 21-40; 4 = 41-60; 5 = 61-80; 6 = 81-100; 7 = >100.

Estimated number of breeding pairs of Clay-colored sparrow based on the amount of grass, trees, and/or hay in the landscape. Landscape scale varied from 1/4- to 2-mile radius depending on the species. Pair estimates were calculated for grass patches >=1 ha, extrapolated to 40-ac cells, then smoothed by averaging over a 1-mile radius. Models were based on point count surveys conducted in 2003-2005 throughout the Tallgrass Prairie Pothole Region. Point count locations were stratified by cover type, the amount of grass in the landscape, and USFWS Wetland Management District boundaries. Landcover data were derived from 2000 Thematic Mapper imagery. Grid values = number of breeding pairs per 30-m pixel.

Proxy herbaceous land (Grassland/Pasture & Other Hay/Non-Alfalfa classes) patches, minimum size - 1 acre, from the 2013 Cropland Data Layer within the Mississippi River Basin and used to evaluate landscape context of grazing land. May include pasture or hay lands in addition to native grasslands.

Low-lying areas (1-acre minimum) within the MRB/GHI Water Quality Priority Zone derived from 30-m NED DEM Topographic Position Index (180-m radius) values less than 1/4 standard deviation below the mean. Used as an aid in identifying wetland restoration potential.

Annual raster-based maps of LULC conditions for the years 1938 to1992 were created based on information on historical patterns and prescriptions of LULC change. The intent of these historical LULC projections was not to recreate exact past LULC conditions, but to provide useful maps of simulated historical land-cover for use in secondary analysis. The baseline LULC condition was derived from a modified version of the 1992 National Land Cover Dataset (http://www.epa.gov/mrlc/nlcd.html). Historic data and others were used to guide a spatially explicit (FOREcasting SCEnarios of land-cover change) land-cover forecasting model in allocating LULC change distributions on the landscape, based on logistic regression analysis...

Landfire v.1.2.0 Biophysical Setting within the Mississippi River Basin. The Biophysical Settings (BpS) layer represents the vegetation that may have been dominant on the landscape prior to Euro-American settlement and is based on both the current biophysical environment and an approximation of the historical disturbance regime.

Estimated number of breeding pairs of Bobolink based on the amount of grass, trees, and/or hay in the landscape. Landscape scale varied from 1/4- to 2-mile radius depending on the species. Pair estimates were calculated for grass patches >=1 ha, extrapolated to 40-ac cells, then smoothed by averaging over a 1-mile radius. Models were based on point count surveys conducted in 2003-2005 throughout the Tallgrass Prairie Pothole Region. Point count locations were stratified by cover type, the amount of grass in the landscape, and USFWS Wetland Management District boundaries. Landcover data were derived from 2000 Thematic Mapper imagery. Grid values = number of breeding pairs per 30-m pixel.
