Greater sage-grouse abundance and space-use index, Nevada and northeastern California

A raster representing Greater Sage-grouse (hereafter sage-grouse) space-use and lek abundance. A higher pixel value corresponds to a greater amount of likelihood that the area is utilized by sage-grouse. Values are the result of combining a kernel density estimation on lek abundances with a raster representing distance to lek. The kernel density was calculated using maximum lek abundances observed between the most recent population nadir for the Great Basin region (2013) and the most recent lek counts available (2021). Polygons representing high-space use areas of Greater Sage-grouse (hereafter sage-grouse) space-use and lek abundance. Areas represent the 85 percent isopleth of the abundance and space-use index (ASUI) as well as a 5-kilometer buffer around remote leks that did not fall within the 85 percent isopleth, so that remote leks were not under-represented.
