This database contains the data inputs used to create a 30 meter resistance layer for the Western Washington Habitat Connectivity Assessment. All input data were clipped to the study area and converted to 30 meter raster format in the same projection with matching cell alignment unless otherwise noted. Input data was reclassified as needed in order to assign resistance values.We made three different resistance surfaces, using these data inputs, for testing in sensitivity analyses. For the first, we started with a conventional methodology for creating resistance surfaces (Using Gnarly Landscape Utilities), and then combined this result with nuanced layers about road impacts and building density impacts. These nuanced...

This map package contains four resistance surfaces, one which is the same surface at two different resolutions (30m and 90m). The resistance surfaces were used in Linkage Mapper and Omniscape to model naturalness connectivity in Southwest Washington. Naturalness resistance values from all the inputs can be found in the report methodology.We made three different resistance surfaces, using the data inputs, found here, for testing in sensitivity analyses. For the first, we started with a conventional methodology for creating resistance surfaces (Using Gnarly Landscape Utilities), and then combined this result with nuanced layers about road impacts and building density impacts. These nuanced layers have continuous numerical...
These analyses are meant to support the development of a collaborative vision for a sustainable ecoregion for wildlife and people. These products will support a network of conservation practitioners towards collective implementation of this vision.There are many results from the anlalyses found in this folder. The primary result to download, a synthesis of all the linkage mapper analyses, is “Naturalness Connectivity, with Cores” found here: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5d2cd25ae4b038fabe22cf29

Two layer packages are included here. One with the final habitat surface and final habitat concentration areas used in the naturalness connectivity models. The other layer package contains an alternate habitat surface and alternate habitat concentration areas that were created in the process of finalizing the model inputs.Habitat Layer Creation:The habitat layer is needed to create the Habitat Concentration Areas (HCAs) and for use in the linkage mapper model. We wanted the perfect habitat on a landscape to be 1, and the worst to be 0. The habitat layer was created from a “Specialized Resistance Surface” created for this purpose. The “Specialized Resistance Surface” was created with the above methodology, but had...
