File-based data for download: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/632a1290d34e71c6d67b9061Related report with figures: https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20221081Location and extent of the human modification threat across the sagebrush biome in the United States for 2020. Blue areas (dark and light,representing core sagebrush areas [CSAs] and growth opportunity areas [GOAs], respectively) are locations of high sagebrush ecological integrityand could serve as anchor points in an overall biome-wide strategy. A separate, high-resolution portable document format (PDF) version of this mapis available at https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20221081 so that stakeholders can zoom in and see the results at much smaller scales.

Sagebrush Biome Conservation Anchors (Fig. 6) - Biome-wide sagebrush core habitat and growth areas estimated from a threat-based conservation design

File-based data for download: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/6328f759d34e71c6d67b7a40Related report with figures: https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20221081Identifying anchor points (that is, areas of spatial congruence) between core sagebrush areas (CSAs) and growth opportunity areas (GOAs) and existing (as of 2020) agency prioritizations within the sagebrush biome. Locations where core sagebrush areas and growth opportunity areas co-occur were mapped with at least one of the following designations: (a) Centrocercus urophasianus L. (greater sage-grouse) Priority Areas for Conservation (PACs), as used by State agencies and the National Resources Conservation Service; (b) Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMAs),...
