To assess fire frequency and extent, the perimeters of fires overlapping the distribution of pygmy rabbit. Fire occurrences since 1980 were compiled from fire occurrence data sets from U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Geological Survey (GeoMAC), National Park Service, Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity, Western Fires Database, Bureau of Land Management, and National Fire and Aviation Management Web applications.
Low risk of SAD equals current aspen distribution coincident with the 2030 SAD climatic envelope classes, Potential aspen climatic envelope expansion, or No expected change in aspen climatic envelope.
Compliation of Wyoming Bureau of Land Management field office data of Russian olive and tamarisk occurrence expressed as point locations.
Geospatial data sets for the Wyoming Basin REA spatially quantify explicit cumulative effects and provide a broad-scale ecological context for decision-making and planning that cannot be determined using local-level information.
The potential effect of development on patch size was used as an index of fragmentation. Patch size was quantified for relatively undeveloped patches (Terrestrial Development Index scores less than or equal to 1 percent) of sagebrush steppe. Because TDI is calculated for a 2.25 km radius moving window, relatively undeveloped patches are defined at this analysis scale. Patch sizes for relatively undeveloped areas can then be compared to baseline conditions.
Average percent of land cover accounted for by herbaceous cover in the Wyoming Basins Ecoregional Assessment area (5 km scale), a summary of the percent cover of herbaceous cover produced by Homer and others, 2012 (Homer, C. G., C. L. Aldridge, D. K. Meyer, and S. J. Schell. 2012. Multi scale remote sensing sagebrush characterization with regression trees over Wyoming, USA: laying a foundation for monitoring. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation. 14: 233 to 244.), by running the focalsum command in ArcGIS Spatial Analyst
Core area risk is classified by the percent of aspen that is core area, summarized by township. Core area was defined as aspen greater than 60 m from nonforest edges and roads or railroads.
Ranks of landscape level ecological risks for pygmy rabbit, summarized by township, in the Wyoming Basin Rapid Ecoregional Assessment 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 27.3 and appendix in the Wyoming Basin REA report at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20151155 for additional details.
The potential effect of development on patch size was used as an index of fragmentation. Patch size was quantified for baseline conditions for pygmy rabbit. This provides a reference for comparing patch size for relatively undeveloped patches (Terrestrial Development Index scores less than or equal to 1 percent) of pygmy rabbit.
The Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF) is a subset of the National Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) that has been specifically re-formatted and re-designed to better meet the needs of the local user community.
This coverage displays the non-surveyed boundaries of active (recorded or interim) federal mining claims within the State of Alaska. Each mining claim is represented as an individual region, identified by the casefile serial number which can be linked to background data via the ALIS (Alaska Land Information System). Mining claim boundaries were identified in location notices from the original casefiles. They were plotted on maps based on rough sketches, claimant maps or physical descriptions. The mining claim boundaries were transferred (when applicable) by use of a zoom-transfer scope and light table from claimant maps or estimated from land descriptions onto 1:63,360 quadrangle maps. Claims were then digitized...
This 1-kilometer resolution raster (grid) dataset is an index of mean annual natural ground-water recharge. The dataset was created by multiplying a grid of base-flow index (BFI) values by a grid of mean annual runoff values derived from a 1951-80 mean annual runoff contour map. Mean annual runoff is long-term average streamflow expressed on a per-unit-area basis. The concept used to construct the dataset is based on two assumptions: (1) long-term average natural ground-water recharge is equal to long-term average natural ground-water discharge to streams, and (2) the base-flow index reasonably represents, over the long term, the percentage of natural ground-water discharge in streamflow.
The surficial lithology classes for the conterminous United States (Cress and others, 2010) were derived from the USGS map "Surficial Materials in the conterminous United States", which was based on texture, internal structure, thickness, and environment of deposition or formation of materials (Soller and Reheis, 2004). This original map was produced from a compilation of regional surficial and bedrock geology source maps using broadly defined common map units for the purpose of providing an overview of the existing data and knowledge. For the terrestrial ecosystem effort, the 28 lithology classes of Soller and Reheis (2004) were generalized and then reclassified into a set of 18 lithologies that typically control...
The potential effect of development on patch size was used as an index of fragmentation. Patch size was quantified for baseline conditions for Greater Sage Grouse. This provides a reference for comparing patch size for relatively undeveloped patches (Terrestrial Development Index scores less than or equal to 1 percent).
Scorecard analysis for terrestrial conservation elements and Invasive Annual Plant Species. The annual grass index represents a summary score for a CE based upon the amount of the CE itersecting the annual grass model. The summary score is a weighted mean using the following formula. ((C0*0.5+C1*0.05+C2*0.05+C3+0.1+C4*0.1+C5*0.15)/Total Count)/0.5 *where C is the cell count by category. NatureServe’s ecological integrity framework provides a practical approach to organize criteria and indicators for this purpose (Faber-Langendoen et al. 2006, Unnasch et al. 2008). This framework provides a scorecard for reporting on the ecological status of a given CE within a given location, and if needed, facilitates the aggregation...
This dataset represents the probability of occurrence for the azonal carbonate rock crevices species assemblage within the Central Great Basin and Mohave Basin Ecoregion. This model represents the composite of multiple cross-validated inductive (Maximum Entropy) models of species distributions using non-spectral landscape variables. Input Variables: NatureServe's Ecological systems map, soil pH, distance to calcium carbonate soils, elevation, slope, geology, distance to hydric soils, distance to perennial streams, distance to intermittent streams, average rock fragments in soil, aspect, and available water holding capacity. Classification Model: 1 - High Habitat Potential NoData - Very Low Habitat Potential or "Non-Habitat"
Fifth-level watersheds (HUC10) with high or very high conservation potential for at least one aquatic species evaluated as a Conservation Element by land ownership and protection from PADUS.
This open-file report presents the results of the USGS Mineral Resources Program activity to compile a national-scale geologic map database to support national and regional level projects, including mineral resource and geo- environmental assessments. The only comprehensive sources of regional- and national-scale geologic maps are state geologic maps with scales ranging from 1:100,000 to 1:1,000,000. Digital versions of these state maps form the core of what is presented here. Because no adequate geologic map exists for the state of Alaska, it is being compiled in regional blocks that also form part of this national database. It is expected that this series will completed by approximately the end of 2007. These...
