Difference of Leaf Area Index (2045-2060 vs 1968-1999) simulated by the biogeography model MAPSS using RegCM3 climate with ECHAM5 projections as boundary conditions. MAPSS (Mapped Atmosphere-Plant-Soil System) is a static biogeography model that projects potential vegetation distribution and hydrological flows on a grid (http://www.databasin.org/climate-center/features/mapss-model). MAPSS has been used widely for various climate change assessments including the 2000 National Assessment Synthesis Team's report. MAPSS uses long term, average monthly climate data (mean monthly temperature, vapor pressure, wind speed, and precipitation) as well as soils information (texture, depth). Based on a set of climatic thresholds,...
This dataset was obtained by the Conservation Biology Institute without standard metadata. Additional information is available directly from the Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project webpage (http://fws-nmcfwru.nmsu.edu/swregap/HabitatModels/default.htm). Some information was collected from that site and presented in this metadata record. A key task was the development of seamless animal-habitat models for all terrestrial vertebrate species for the region. Through coordination from the U.S. Geological Survey's Gap Analysis Program (GAP) and the collaborative efforts of participating state institutions, 819 seamless habitat models were completed in September 2005. These data are made available to the public by...
This dataset represents recreation sites extracted from Utah BLM FAMS. Utah BLM data extracted from the Facilities Asset Management System (FAMS). This dataset contains administrative and recreation related assets, including campgrounds, trail heads, etc. For more information about FAMS, see this website: http://web.blm.gov/lrpo/fams/index.html
LANDFIRE disturbance data are developed to provide temporal and spatial information related to landscape change for determining vegetation transitions over time and for making subsequent updates to LANDFIRE vegetation, fuel and other data. Disturbance data include attributes associated with disturbance year, type, and severity. These data are developed through use of Landsat satellite imagery, local agency derived disturbance polygons, and other ancillary data. DATA SUMMARY: The disturbance data are developed through a multistep process. Inputs to this process include; Landsat imagery and derived NBR (normalized burn ratio) data; polygon data developed by local agencies for the LANDFIRE Refresh effort; fire data...
This dataset shows the current distribution of Inter-Mountain Basins Mixed Salt Desert Scrub (NatureServe Landcover) within the context of current and near-term terrestrial intactness and long-term potential for energy development and potential for climate change (4KM reporting units). Current terrestrial intactness is based on current measures of landscape development, fire regime and vegetation impacts, and fragmentation. Near-term intactness includes estimates of urban growth and expansion of invasive vegetation. Long-term potential for energy development is based on areas of potential for wind, solar, and petroleum development derived from multiple sources. Long-term potential for climate change is based on...
Average Summer (Jul-Sep) Precipitation (2045-2060) simulated by RegCM3 with ECHAM5 projections as boundary conditions. Units are millimeters. These data were generated by the regional climate model RegCM3 with boundary conditions from a GCM future climate projections. The data were downscaled statistically by calculating differences (anomalies) between the RegCM3 results with GCM-driven boundary conditions for 1968-99 and those for a future period, in this case 2015-2030. The anomalies were added (temperatures) or multiplied (precipitation) to a climate baseline from PRISM (Parameter-elevation Regressions on Indepenent Slopes Model - prism.oregonstate.edu) data based on historical observations. The PRISM baseline...
In a step towards implementing our Vision, SREP completed a statewide assessment of wildlife linkages in collaboration with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), the Federal Highway Administration, The Nature Conservancy, and Colorado State University, identifying and prioritizing wildlife linkages across the state of Colorado. The goal of this work is to provide transportation planners, state and federal agencies, community leaders, engineers, and conservationists with a statewide vision for reconnecting habitats that are vital for maintaining healthy populations of native species. Both the Federal Highway Administration and CDOT have begun promoting wildlife crossings in their transportation plans...
Difference of Average Winter (Jan-Mar) Temperature (2045-2060 vs 1968-1999) simulated by RegCM3 with GENMOM projections as boundary conditions. Units are degrees Celsius. These data were generated by the regional climate model RegCM3 with boundary conditions from a GCM future climate projections. The data were downscaled statistically by calculating differences (anomalies) between the RegCM3 results with GCM-driven boundary conditions for 1968-99 and those for a future period, in this case 2015-2030. The anomalies were added (temperatures) or multiplied (precipitation) to a climate baseline from PRISM (Parameter-elevation Regressions on Indepenent Slopes Model - prism.oregonstate.edu) data based on historical observations....
The distribution and abundance of Colorado River cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii pleuriticus; CRCT) have declined from historical levels over their entire range. For this CRCT assessment we used existing information provided by 48 fisheries professionals applied through a consistent methodology to assess the extent of CRCT historical range, their current distribution, including genetic status, and evaluated the foreseeable risks to 285 populations designated as "conservation populations" by management agencies. We estimated CRCT historically occupied about 21,386 miles of habitat in the western U.S. CRCT currently occupy about 3,022 miles of habitat in 51 of the 61 4th level HUCs historically occupied. Of...

Broad-scale alterations of historical fire regimes and vegetation dynamics have occurred in many landscapes in the U.S. through the combined influence of land management practices, fire exclusion, ungulate herbivory, insect and disease outbreaks, climate change, and invasion of non-native plant species. The LANDFIRE Project produces maps of simulated historical fire regimes and vegetation conditions using the LANDSUM landscape succession and disturbance dynamics model. The LANDFIRE Project also produces maps of current vegetation and measurements of current vegetation departure from simulated historical reference conditions. These maps support fire and landscape management planning outlined in the goals of the National...
This dataset provides an estimate of aquatic intactness (i.e. condition or integrity) across the Bon Cuthrout Trout C's potential distribution. Current aquatic intactness estimates are based on the extent to which human impacts such as water demand, agriculture, urban development, natural resource extraction, dams, diversions, and alterations have disrupted the hydrology, water quality, and habitat quality of aquatic systems across the state of Utah and the Colorado Plateau. Aquatic intactness values will be high in areas where these impacts are low.This HUC6 (12-Digit NHD Hydrologic Unit Code) resolution dataset was created for the Colorado Plateau REA stepdown analysis using the open-source logic modeling framework...
This dataset represents the estimated historical distribution of Colorado River Cutthroat Trout across Utah and the the Colorado Plateau Ecoregion, based on Trout Unlimited's Conservation Success Index (CSI) data.Note, data were not available for the southeastern corner of the study site; please be aware of this gap in coverage. Conservation Success Index:Trout Unlimited developed the Conservation Success Index (CSI) in order to become more strategic and effective in our conservation efforts. Using the CSI, we can quantify and map the conservation status of all native coldwater fishes so that comparisons of existing condition, threats, future security, and management opportunities can be made across watersheds,...
