This is a static dataset even though liquid energy development is a highly dynamic endeavor. Because these well location datasets are generally housed and managed by various state-based agencies (typically the state Oil and Gas Conservation Commissions) a uniform, spatially precise coverage for the western United States has not been available to date. This layer consolidates the best available well location data from ND, SD, MT, WY, CO, NM, UT, AZ, OR, and CA (ID and WA do not report any liquid energy development) and standardizes the attributes.

The more central a node, the closer it is to all other nodes and the more likely information/movements can flow to other nodes. Closeness is computed as one divided by the average path lengths from a node to its neighbors, which assumes that important nodes are close to other nodes. The data were defined from least-cost paths (LCPs) constructed into minimum spanning trees (MSTs). We identified a threshold of the cc normalized value (>0.047) where patterns of network connectivity occurred in our graph. The cc identified leks with the greatest number of shortest...

Western United States, Fewer tags Sagebrush Collaborative Restoration Landscapes to Support Management Efforts Improving Fire Resiliency and Restoration in the Sagebrush Biome The sagebrush ecosystem spans over 175 million acres in the western United States, and is biologically, culturally, and economically significant to the country. Many disturbances including prolonged drought, pinyon-juniper encroachment, and cycles of invasive grasses and wildfire, pose significant threats to the resilience of the sagebrush biome. To conserve the sagebrush biome and promote community and economic sustainability, the Department of the Interior’s bureaus and offices are working together with many public and private partners to implement a “defend and grow the core” approach to conserve remaining intact sagebrush habitat and ecosystem functions, as well as restore other habitat types which are important...

In other words, a node is important if it is included in many shortest paths between other nodes because it serves as a bridge between different parts of the graph. The data were defined from least-cost paths (LCPs) constructed into minimum spanning trees (MSTs). The bc identified major corridors spanning the sage-grouse range where nodes had a larger number of connections with other nodes, reflecting regions where leks potentially play larger roles of sage-grouse continuity based on graph theory analytics.
