Ricca, M.A. Coates, P.S. 2019 raster digital data Denver, CO U.S. Geological Survey data release https://doi.org/10.5066/P960W8MD Mark A. Ricca Pete S. Coates 2019 publication Fronteirs in Ecology and Evolution Vol 07 NA Frontiers Media SA https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2019.00493 Conservation planning efforts for sagebrush ecosystems of western North America increasingly focus on enhancing operational resilience though decision-support tools that link spatially explicit variation in soil and plant processes to outcomes of biotic and abiotic disturbances spanning large spatial extents. However, failure to consider higher trophic-level fauna (e.g. wildlife) in these tools can hinder efforts to operationalize resilience owing to spatiotemporal lags between slower reorganization of plant and soil processes following disturbance, and faster behavioral and demographic responses of fauna to disturbance. These spatial products provide additional examples for managers of sagebrush ecosystems and greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations in the Great Basin to aid with decisions regarding: 1) wildfire prevention, suppression, and management; and 2) removal of encroaching conifers. These products integrate models of ecological resilience mapped to variation in soil moisture and temperature regimes, wildlife risk and recovery processes, and potential ecological traps with measures of sage-grouse habitat selection and abundance. Please refer to Ricca and Coates (2019) and examples within for further details on methodology. These data are meant to aid land managers in their decision making with respect to land management for sagebrush ecosystems in the Great Basin. 2019 ground condition Complete None planned -121.9300 -110.0276 45.5032 36.4092 The Great Basin ISO 19115 Topic Category biota USGS Thesaurus fires None conservation planning decision support sage-grouse suitability wildfire umbrella species USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:5dfa5a6be4b0cdded73c2cdc None Western United States Great Basin California Idaho Montana Nevada Oregon Utah None.
