BLM GRSG BER: Sagebrush, Pinyon-Juniper, and Conifer Interface (polygon)

Vectorized version of the raster model with the PJ and Conifer interface areas merged across the west. A raster model was developed to identify sagebrush land cover which is in close proximity to conifer land cover, thus suggesting a risk for conifer encroachment. To achieve this end product the following general steps were taken: 1. Extract sagebrush land cover types from GAP/ReGAP data. 2. Extract conifer land cover types (excluding those corresponding to pinyon, juniper, and pinyon-juniper) from GAP/ReGAP data. 3. Reclassify and add these raster datasets. 4. Conduct a focal statistics operation. 5. Multiply the above product by the extracted, reclassified sagebrush raster to identify sagebrush cells adjacent...

BLM GRSG BER: Burn Probability - High (polygon)

National burn probability (BP) and fire intensity level (FIL) raster datasets for the United States were generated for the 2012 Fire Program Analysis (FPA) System submissions using a geospatial Fire Simulation (FSim) system developed by the US Forest Service Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory to estimate probabilistic components of wildfire risk (Finney et al. 2011). The data presented here are the burn probabilities for the conterminous US at a 270-meter grid spatial resolution. Data for Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are available separately, as are the six FIL datasets. The six FILs correspond to flame-length classes as follows: FIL1 = http://www.landfire.gov/) fuel and terrain data, historical fire occurrence...

BLM GRSG BER: BLM and USFS Pasture and Allotment Fence Potential (line)

This fencing potential layer is a merged representation of the 27 allotment data files submitted to the BLM by the USFS for the GRSG CEA and the GSSP snapshot of approved BLM grazing data made on 5/24/2012. This aggregate national dataset identifies pasture and allotment borders, represented as linear features, within BLM and FS managed public lands. This dataset serves as a surrogate for fencing potential across BLM and FS managed lands. Pasture and allotment polygons were converted to linear features using the “Polygon to Line” tool in ArcGIS. To identify areas of overlap between the BLM and FS data, an intersect operation was performed. The results were used to erase the overlapping geometry to avoid double counting....

BLM GRSG BER: Fire Perimeters 2000 - 2012 (polygon)

Provided by Lance Brady to the Wildlife Habitat Spatial Analysis Lab for use as the authoritative fire area data in the GRSG CEA on Friday June 15th 2012. Initial data included U.S. historic fire perimeters 2000-2011. In January, 2013, Susan Gutherie provided finalized 2012 perimeters (as submitted by field offices). These were merged with the original submission. The Geospatial Multi-Agency Coordination Group, or GeoMAC, is an internet-based mapping tool originally designed for fire managers to access online maps of current fire locations and perimeters in the conterminous 48 states and Alaska. Perimeters are submitted to GeoMAC by field offices and then posted to an FTP site for downloading. This file contains...

BLM GRSG BER: Allotments Not Meeting Land Health Standards - Livestock Grazing Causal Factor (polygon)

This dataset was created for the GRSG National Planning Effort from the 2008 BLM Land Health spreadsheet. Sherm Karl edited this spreadsheet to indicate those allotments in which the habitat land health standard is not being achieved and livestock grazing is a causal factor in the non-achievement. These allotments were then joined to the GSSP National Allotment database on 6/28/12. Of the 1135 allotment records from the spreadsheet, 21 were not able to be mapped. Data Assumption notes: Sherm Karl - We can only assume the data are as current as 2007. Additional allotments have been assessed since then, but we do not have this information in a national data set, so we should date this as the 2008 assessment. Also,...
