Tables representing greater sage-grouse abundance and habitat selection covariates in the Bi-State region of California and Nevada

These data consist of six separate tables. Two tables represent observed and expected greater sage-grouse (hereafter; sage-grouse) lek abundances, averaged within neighborhood clusters and the Bi-State Distinct Population segment as a whole. Three tables are the input tables for seasonal habitat selection models. These tables are the result of extracting values from rasters to both 'used' and 'available' locations; 'used' refers to an observation of a sage-grouse nesting or brood rearing, 'available' is a randomly-generated location proximal to a paired 'used' location. For these locations, we extract values from multiple rasters expressing landscape characteristics such as landcover (such as sagebrush, annual grass, or shrubs, expressed as a percentage), height of sagebrush, distance to water features, distance to anthropogenic features, and topographic transformations (such as slope, heat load index, and roughness). Ultimately, the locations were removed from these tables as sage-grouse are considered to be a sensitive species. The final table contains volume of sage-grouse abundance and area measurements of sage-grouse range annually 1995 through 2023, and projected out to 3 future population nadirs 2027, 2036, and 2044.
