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.
This dataset approximates areas available for utility-grade solar energy development under the Solar Energy Zone Alternative of the Solar Energy Development Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS). Refer to the Solar Energy Development PEIS for more details.
Most communities in the western and interior parts of the state rely primarily on electricity generated with diesel fuel. These communities had the most expensive electricity in 2011. Most remote rural communities are eligible for the Power Cost Equalization (PCE) program instituted by the state to offset the high fuel prices in these communities. The program pays 95% of residential electricity cost However, the program has not been fully funded by the Legislature in 15 out of its 25 years of existence, and electricity rates in rural Alaska with PCE are still higher than in urban Alaska. There has been a recent dramatic increase in fuel prices throughout Alaska. This dataset shows the change in price of a gallon...
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).
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.
Rather than using the ARDF to determine future mining activity, which is a work in progress we used additional datasets. Future mines are difficult to predict but we used three datasets to represent future mining activity: Ambler mining belt, Nanushuk coal mine, and USGS mineral potential GIS database (Jones et al. 2015). Jones et al. (2015) documented the potential and certainty of six minerals deposit groups. The mineral resource potential datasets produced by the USGS (Jones et al. 2015) was used in conjunction with access to identify areas with the most likely long-term future mining activity. Mineral resource potential datasets only cover a portion of our study area (63.9% or 252,845 km2) but can still provide...

There are a number of oil and gas basins that lay within the CYR study region. Selawik oil and gas basin is considered an eastern extension of the Kotzebue oil and gas basin. However, much of the Selawik basin is located in the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge making development unlikely. Exploration in the Selawik Basin has been minimal with no wells drilled. The Colville Basin runs along the northwestern edge of the CYR study area but exploration within this area is minimal. Wells and exploration in this basin are outside the CYR study area. Doyon has drilled Nunivak #1 and #2 exploratory wells between 2009 and 2013 in the Nenana Basin and acquired 2-D seismic, gravity, magnetics, and lakebed geochemical surveys...
The potential effect of development on patch size was used as an index of fragmentation. Patch size was quantified for baseline conditions for foothill shrublands and woodlands. This provides a reference for comparing patch size for relatively undeveloped patches (Terrestrial Development Index scores less than or equal to 1 percent) of Foothill Shrublands Woodlands.
Active Water Rights of Montana. The data consists of estimated locations of all the active recorded points of diversion and points of use in the water rights database. There are four separate spatial layers: Points of diversion, Points of Use, Points of Reservoirs, and Points of Use for Irrigation (a subset of Points of Use). The version of this data available at the State Library is updated on a weekly basis. For administrative purposes, the original version of all active water rights is given (i.e. Version ID = 1). If change of information about a particular water right has occurred over time, there will be an additional version of the water right, and depending on how many changes, there will only be one other...
The Wyoming Basin Rapid Ecoregional Assessment project area is defined by all 5th level watersheds (HUC10) that intersect the boundary of the Wyoming Basin Ecoregion. All other datasets used for Wyoming Basing Rapid Ecoregional Assessment are clipped to this boundary.
Proportion of Riparian Land Cover (540 m scale) in the Wyoming Basins Ecoregional Assessment area, produced by Hanser and others, 2011 (Hanser, S. E., M. Leu, S. T. Knick, and C. L. Aldridge, eds. 2011. Sagebrush ecosystem conservation and management: ecoregional assessment tools and models for the Wyoming Basins. Allen Press, Lawrence, KS.), by using a circular 6 pixel focal moving window analysis. http://sagemap.wr.usgs.gov/wbea.aspx#CAdata
