All wetlands within the Wyoming Basin REA Project area including lake, riverine, or river wetland types compiled from National Wetlands Inventory data from the five states in the project area.

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 foothill shrublands and woodlands. 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.

The consolidated dataset represents polygonal fire perimeters of known fire occurrences between pre-1950 and 2010 within the state of Wyoming. Where it was included or possible to determine, information about fire types, causes, names, and dates has been retained. The following sources were used to consolidate all known and mapped fire occurrences: the USGS GeoMAC program, the National Park Service (Yellowstone National Park), the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) program, the US Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Western Fires US database, and the National Fire and Aviation Management Web Applications (FAMWEB) program.

Rail road lines within the Wyoming Basin project area. Data origin Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The Rail Network is a comprehensive database of the nation's railway system at the 1:100,000 scale or better

Current West Nile Virus risk (0 to 100), with highest risk being 100 across WYB study area. Data was attained from Ryan Harrigan (iluvsa@ucla.edu) at the Center for Tropical Research, Institute of the Environment, University of California, Los Angeles. work is being currently submitted to Global Change Biology.

Ranks of landscape level ecological values for aspen were summarized by township, in the Wyoming Basin REA project area. Landscape level value based on area of aspen. See table 15.3, Chapter 2, and the Appendix in the Wyoming Basin REA report at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20151155 for additional details.

Potential changes in baseline juniper woodlands based on overlap with the projected bioclimatic envelope distribution. To account for the differences between the current distribution and modeled bioclimatic envelopes, we used results from CCCM3, in 2030, and classified each modeled biome into three change categories: 1 distributions that potentially could decline because current and projected envelope distributions do not coincide, 2 distributions that are not expected to change because the current and projected envelope distributions overlap, and 3 distributions that have the potential for expansion outside the current envelope distribution. Next, we classified potential for change in the current distribution of...

For Greater Sage Grouse connectivity we assessed development levels based on the regional Terrestrial Development Index (TDI) map, and then used the resulting output to calculate patch size and structural connectivity metrics. We mapped the structural connectivity of relatively undeveloped areas (TDI less than or equal to 1 percent) at three inter patch distances based on connectivity analysis; local (0.27 km), landscape (2.97 km), and regional (3.78 km) scales. See Chapter 2 Assessment Framework and Appendix of the Wyoming Basin REA Open File Report for additional details.
thumbnail
Landscape-level ecological value was based on length of perennial and ephemeral/intermittent streams within a 5th-level watershed assessed as the length of stream per area of watershed.
thumbnail
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.
thumbnail
To evaluate the potential effects of climate change on terrestrial communities and tree species we used models of bioclimatic envelopes suitable for terrestrial communities and tree species across the U.S. developed by Rehfeldt et al. 2012. We developed a crosswalk between the biome classification used by Rehfeldt et al. and the terrestrial communities based on LANDFIRE used for the REA. We used the crosswalk to represent the potential changes in bioclimatic envelope for biomes modeled by Rehfeldt et al. for three of the climate change scenarios they evaluated. Climate scenario I using CCCM3. Climate scenario II used GFDLCM21.Climate scenario III used HADCM3. All used emission scenario A2. Time period 2030 represents...

Compiled from National Hydrography point events point data where EventType is Dam for the Wyoming Basin REA project area. Dams within the Wyoming Basin were identifed for use in barrier determination and flow restrictions.

Aquatic Development Index (ADI) for cutthroat streams in the Wyoming Basin REA project area. ADI scores are based on a ranked index of combined disturbances assessed at three scales: local catchment (LADI), aggregated upstream catchments (UADI) and averaged local and upstream catchment (ADI). The ADI quantifies the relative disturbance within a catchment for four disturbance variable classes: transportation (roads and railroads, area and number of crossings), energy and minerals (number of oil and gas wells, number of wind turbines, mine area), water (number of dams, number of surface diversions and length of 303d streams) and land use (agriculture, e.g. pasture and cropland, and urban land covers). ADI scores range...

White Pine Blister Rust (WPBR) Risk Data for Wyoming. Data was attained from Bob Flynn, Colorado State Univeristy. The WPBR risk model was derived by Kearns, S.J., Jacobi, W.R., Reich, R.M., Flynn, R.I., Burns, K.S., and Geils, B.W., 2014, Risk of white pine blister rust to limber pine in Colorado and Wyoming, USA: Forest Pathology, v. 44, p. 21 to 38.

To map the baseline distribution of juniper woodlands, we included all juniper, pinyon juniper, and mixed limber pine and juniper LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Types (EVT). For additional details see the Wyoming Basin Rapid Ecoregional Assessment Open File Report Appendix.

Average annual precipitation for 2046-2060 projected by the by 36-member ensemble (16 GCMs with multiple runs of some models, all the runs available for BCSD) driven by the A2 emissions scenario at 1/8 degree latitude-longitude (approximately 12km by 12 km) over the Wyoming Basin and surrounding areas. BCSD data downloaded the "Downscaled CMIP3 and CMIP5 Climate and Hydrology Projections," archived at http://gdo-dcp.ucllnl.org/downscaled_cmip_projections/.

We used the length of sauger occupied streams as an index of patch size in streams situated in sixth-level watersheds with Aquatic Development Index scores less than 20 (relatively undeveloped). Stream segments were based on natural and anthropogenic barriers (dams) that restrict bi-directional movements among sauger populations.

Conservation potential of Spadefoot assemblage, summarized by township, for the Wyoming Basin Rapid Ecoregional Assessment project area. Areas with the highest conservation potential had the highest landscape level values and the lowest landscape level risks. See the Assessment Framework Chapter 2 of the Wyoming Basin REA report at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20151155 for additional details.
