Broad-scale alterations of historical fire regimes and vegetation dynamics have occurred in many landscapes in the U.S. through the combined influence of land management practices, fire exclusion, ungulate herbivory, insect and disease outbreaks, climate change, and invasion of non-native plant species. The LANDFIRE Project produces maps of simulated historical fire regimes and vegetation conditions using the LANDSUM landscape succession and disturbance dynamics model. The LANDFIRE Project also produces maps of current vegetation and measurements of current vegetation departure from simulated historical reference conditions. These maps support fire and landscape management planning outlined in the goals of the National...

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 and synthesis of the component results for broader measures of ecological integrity at broader scales The layer represents the scorecard of multiple indicator values of ecosytem/species integrity. Individual layers for ecosystems may have representitive values of change in extent, landscape condition, landscape connectivity, Fire Regime Departure, or invasive annual grass risk. Not...

We analyzed 12 indicators of ecological integrity and 2 Key Ecological Attributes (KEA) to assess the current status of the Aquatic Course Filter Conservation Elements. The indicators used were: 1) Riparian Corridor Fragmentation, 2) Landscape Condition Model Index, 3) Perennial Flow Network Fragmentation by Dams, 4) Surface Water Use/Discharge Ratio, 5) Ground Water Use/Discharge Ratio, 6a) Perennial Flow Modification by Diversion Structures, 6b) Flow Modification by Dams, 7) Condition of Groundwater Recharge Zone, 8a) Atmospheric Deposition-Nitrate Loading , 8b) Atmospheric Deposition--Toxic Mercury Loading, 9) State-Listed Water Quality Impairments, 10) Sediment Loading Index, 11) Presence of Invasive Plant Species,...

This simple assessment layer is used to answer management questions (MQs) about which high biodiversity sites (HBS) will experience significant climate change in the near future scenario in the Central Great Basin and Range Ecoregion. This is a basic intersect of areas that will likely experience significant climate change effects with the areas that have been identified by previous 3rd party analyses as having extraordinary biodiversity. It does not model actual response or condition of the HBS to climate change. Nearly all HBS in the ecoregion will experience significant effects according to the criteria that were selected. The climate space trends data layer was used to ascertain areas of significant climate...

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.
