We developed spatial overlays (i.e., “threat matrices”) by combining spatial models of threats (30-m x 30-m pixels) with multispecies cores for sagebrush obligate bird abundance (1-mi2 hexagons). Spatial information was retained in the overlays for three categories of bird core areas (70, 50, and 25%) in the No to Low category of threat classification, and for the 70% bird core area (inclusive of the 50% and 25% cores) for the highest three categories of threat classification (No to Low, Moderate, High, and Very High). For the WGA Annual Herbaceous layer, the four categories were 0-10, 11-25, 26-50, and > 50% cover.

These data represent multispecies core areas for breeding habitats of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), Brewer’s sparrow (Spizella breweri), sagebrush sparrow (Artemisiospiza nevadensis), and sage thrasher (Oreoscoptes montanus). Core areas represent the smallest land base necessary to contain the resulting distributions across all species; for example, a 25% core area represents the minimum area containing at least 25% of the distributions for each of the four species. These models were developed using prioritzR (https://prioritizr.net/index.html) using minimum set algorithms and relative targets set equally across each of the four bird layers.

We developed rangewide population and habitat models for Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) that account for regional variation in habitat selection and relative densities of birds for use in conservation planning and risk assessments. We developed a probabilistic model of occupied breeding habitat by statistically linking habitat characteristics within 4 miles of an occupied lek using a nonlinear machine learning technique (Random Forests). Habitat characteristics used were quantified in GIS and represent standard abiotic and biotic variables related to sage-grouse biology. Statistical model fit was high (mean correctly classified = 82.0%, range = 75.4–88.0%) as were cross-validation statistics (mean...

These data represent core areas for breeding habitats of pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus). Core areas represent the smallest land base necessary to contain the resulting distributions across all species; for example, a 25% core area represents the minimum area containing at least 25% of the distributions for the species. These models were developed using prioritzR (https://prioritizr.net/index.html) using minimum set algorithms and relative targets set equally across each of the four bird layers.

For the RAP Tree Canopy layer, the four categories were 0-1, 2-10, 11-20, and > 20% cover.

These data represent core areas developed from models predictive of relative abundance for sagebrush obligate species. Cores represent the minimum area necessary to encompass the concomitant proportion of the species total abundance; for example, a 25% core represents minimum area necessary to encompass 25% of the total predicted relative abundance for a species. Spatial models were developed using stop-level Breeding Bird Survey count data (BBS) and spatially-referenced covariates including landcover, climate, topographic, and fire variables measured at scales from 120m to 6.4km. All models were fit using random forests.
