Human Footprint Intensity in the West

This map was developed to show the distribution of human influence in the western United States. This dataset was developed from the Human Footprint in the western United States (Leu et al. 2008) in order to ease the interpretation of human footprint comparisons.

The Human Footprint in the West

Humans have dramatically altered wildlands in the western United States over the past 100 years by using these lands and the resources they provide. Anthropogenic changes to the landscape, such as urban expansion, construction of roads, power lines, and other networks and land uses necessary to maintain human populations influence the number and kinds of plants and wildlife that remain. We developed the map of the human footprint for the western United States from an analysis of 14 landscape structure and anthropogenic features: human habitation, interstate highways, federal and state highways, secondary roads, railroads, irrigation canals, power lines, linear feature densities, agricultural land, campgrounds, highway...

BLM REA NWP 2011 Development Layer used for Anthropogenic for Grassland Birds

This development layer was used as part of the Distance to Anthropogenic sources Key Ecological Attribute for the Grassland Birds Assemblage. Its was created by buffering point and line features (roads, oil wells, etc) and merging with raster data such as developed and agricultural lands taken from GAP data sources.

BLM REA MIR 2011 Anthropogenic 2030

This dataset contains TIGER roads and Integrated Climate and Land Use Scenarios (ICLUS) 2030 data.This raster dataset is a classification of bhd2030bc (base case scenario) from ICLUS v1.2 which is produced using the SERGoM v3 model, depicts housing density for the coterminous US in 2000, based on 2000 US Census Bureau block (SF1) datasets. (The classication is shown below.) A raster layer that portrays not-developed (and assumed to be undevelopable) called DEV20091024_depicts protected/unprotected lands and Census water polygons. Land was removed from blocks (reducing the area of a block, but not its number of housing units -- assuming that private housing units must be on private land) that was public and/or protected....

Human footprint intensity in the sagebrush ecosystem

This map was developed to show the distribution of human influence on the sagebrush ecosystem in the western United States. This dataset was developed from the Human Footprint inthe western United States (Leu et al. 2008) and an aggregrate of the sagebrush ecological systems mapped in the LANDFIRE EVT dataset. Provides the distribution sagebrush attributed with 3 human foorpint instensity classes
