J. R. Matchett Matthew Brooks 2015 version 1 raster digital data Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F76971N5 This three-band, 30-m resolution raster contains sagebrush vegetation types, soil temperature/moisture regime classes, and large fire frequencies across greater sage-grouse population areas within the Wyoming Basin sage-grouse management zone. Sagebrush vegetation types were defined by grouping together similar vegetation types from the LANDFIRE biophysical settings layer. Soil moisture and temperature regimes were from an USDA-NRCS analysis of soil types across the greater sage-grouse range. Fire frequencies were derived from fire severity rasters created by the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity program. The area of analysis included the greater sage-grouse populations areas within specific management zones. Methods used to derive these data are detailed in the report [Brooks, M.L., Matchett, J.R., Shinneman, D.J., and Coates, P.S., 2015, Fire patterns in the range of greater sage-grouse, 1984-2013; Implications for conservation and management: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1167, 66 p., http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151167] These data were developed to assess recent patterns of large wildfires within areas critical to the conservation and management of greater sage-grouse. 19840101 20131231 ground condition Complete None planned -111.6442 -104.6609 45.532 39.4734 None wildfires wildland fires greater sage-grouse soil-vegetation relationships wildlife conservation USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:56201b49e4b01356cd35a214 None Wyoming Basin None.
