BLM REA COP 2010 Greater Sage Grouse Occupied Habitat (BLM)

This product is as subset of a legacy dataset and is included in the REA publication as it was used in the analysis for the Colorado Plateau REA. The legacy dataset was not part of the GRSG official HMA designations or planning process in 2015. For the most current version of sage-grouse habitat delinations assiciated with BLM Land Use Plans please visit the Greater Sage Grouse page on the Landscape Approach Data Portal. Updated in December, 2012 to the National Sage-grouse Planning Effort area. Canada, Washington, and Bi-State Distinct Population Segment areas were removed. Original versions exist in the 'Wildlife/Data' Sage-grouse directories at the NOC. This spatial dataset represents modeled occupied greater...

BLM GRSG BER: Oil Shale Research, Development, and Demonstration Leases (polygon)

This dataset represents the consolidated submissions for oil shale research, development and demonstration lease data from BLM states responding to the WO 300 data call during the time period of November 2011 through May 2012. Additional features were added from a Colorado data submittal on 12/20/2012. It is intended solely for use in the GRSG cumulative effects analysis. Source data, their acquisition methods and errors/omission rate vary. All original datasets used to create this dataset are stored in the BLM’s NOC E-GIS file structure. The paths to the original data are stored in this file’s attribute table. See the source data for detailed metadata and error analysis. Processing to develop this dataset: 1. Added...

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 WesternUS GRSG ROD Habitat Management Areas April 2019 Update

The following habitat management areas were used in the creation of this feature class: PHMA: Areas identified as having the highest habitat value for maintaining sustainable GRSG populations and include breeding, late brood-rearing, and winter concentration areas.GHMA: Areas that are occupied seasonally or year-round and are outside of PHMAs.IHMA: Areas in Idaho that provide a management buffer for and that connect patches of PHMAs. IHMAs encompass areas of generally moderate to high habitat value habitat or populations but that are not as important as PHMAs.OHMA: Areas in Nevada and Northeastern California, identified as unmapped habitat in the Proposed RMP/Final EIS, that are within the Planning Area and contain...

Providing High Resolution Connectivity Maps for Greater Sage-grouse in the Great Northern Landscape Using State of the Art Genomics

Greater sage-grouse genetic connectivity is essential to the species persistence across the Great Northern landscape; without such connectivity the greater sage-grouse may suffer the same fate as many other related species of grouse, which disappeared from the middle and eastern portion of the United States due to loss of habitat coupled with inbreeding depression. To prevent isolation in the face of energy development and other landscape changes it is essential that we evaluate both fine-scale connectivity and assign relative importance to different leks (breeding populations) on the landscape. This massive task cannot be accomplished with existing tools and maps; fortunately, advanced molecular genomic analyses...

Precipitation (Proportion July - Sep) - 2020-2050 - RCP8.5 - Max

Future climates are simulated by general circulation models (GCM) using climate change scenarios (IPCC 2014). To project climate change for the sagebrush biome, we used 11 GCMs and two climate change scenarios from the IPCC Fifth Assessment, representative concentration pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5 (Moss et al. 2010, Van Vuuren et al. 2011). RCP4.5 scenario represents a future where climate policies limit and achieve stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations to 4.5 W m-2 by 2100. RCP8.5 scenario might be called a business-as-usual scenario, where high emissions of greenhouse gases continue in the absence of climate change policies. The two selected time frames allow comparison of near-term (2020-2050) and longer-term...
