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...
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.

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,...
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) commissioned the California Essential Habitat Connectivity Project because a functional network of connected wildlands is essential to the continued support of California's diverse natural communities in the face of human development and climate change. The Essential Connectivity Map depicts large, relatively natural habitat blocks that support native biodiversity (Natural Landscape Blocks) and areas essential for ecological connectivity between them (Essential Connectivity Areas). This coarse-scale map was based primarily on the concept of ecological integrity, rather than the needs of particular species. Essential...

This raster represents development change agents (CAs) in the Mojave Basin and Range Ecoregion for the current (circa 2010). In the scenario-based assessment of conservation elements (CEs), this raster has been developed to represent CAs in a clear, combined format and to answer the management questions (MQs) such as, where do CAs intersect CEs? The raster contains 19 classes which represent different types of human infrastructure on the landscape. Some types are easily defined, precise footprints (pipelines, roads, energy development areas) while others are broader land cover types derived from spatial models (development, mining and refuse areas). During the construction of the layer, we observed that many CAs...

Both tabular and spatial models were used to predict fire regime departure at the sub-watershed scale (i.e., HUC 10 units). Integrating the fire regime models with predicted changes in climate envelopes provides a clearer understanding of how these ecological systems are likely to respond to multiple stresses. The natural range of variability for each CE was initially derived from LANDFIRE Vegetation Dynamics Development Tool (VDDT) models. The VDDT allows for the development of probabilistic quantitative model of CEs consisting of multiple ecological states with both deterministic and probabilistic drivers. For any defined suite of drivers, the models predict the relative abundance of each state within a defined...
