Series of aerial images over Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge, acquired November 1941

This data set includes 31 georeferenced versions of original black and white aerial photographs acquired in digital form from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge. These photo in this collection, from 1941, is one of the earliest know for this area and were part of the USDA's Agricultural Adjustment Administration's effort to capture the extent and condition of farmland across the US. Individual frames were referenced to the 2009 NAIP color imagery with ArcMap 10.0. The resolution of the image is 0.8 meters. This image should be used for resource-level interpretation only.

Predicted Total and Proportion Grassland Loss (2021-2031)

These rasters represent landscape-scale (i.e., 3.6 x 3.6 km window) predictions of unprotected grassland loss (i.e., grass, shrub, herbaceous wetland cover) from 2021-2031 at 270 m resolution for the contiguous US. Each 270 m pixel value is a grassland loss prediction for the 3.6 x 3.6 km area around the pixel. These were generated by training random forest regression models by relating unprotected grassland loss from 2011-2021 to a suite of covariates from ~2011, and then applying these models to updated surface data ~2021 to make loss predictions for the period of 2021-2031. We developed models for two loss metrics:

1- Total loss – predictions represent ha unprotected grass loss per 3.6 x 3.6 km area around each pixel

2- Proportion loss – predictions represent the amount of unprotected grass lost out of what was available to be lost per 3.6 x 3.6 km area around each pixel


We include models that predict grass loss to cropland or development, as well as grass loss to crop, and grass loss to development, separately. We also include an example of how these and other data can be used to prioritize landscapes for conservation.

See the included README document for more information.

Project modeling extent - A landscape connectivity analysis for the coastal marten (Martes caurina humboldtensis)

This dataset represents the modeling extent used in our analyses.  The boundaries were determined in part by the degree to which we were able to achieve complete overlap between our chosen spatial datasets, as some of these had a limited coverage.  The extent fully encompasses the marten historical range, with a sufficient buffer on the eastern boundary.

North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) Regional Dataset [within 5 Miles of National Wildlife Refuges], 1997 - 2019

This dataset is a subset of data attributes selected from the (full) 1966-2019 North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) dataset to assist in populating the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's FWSpecies application. This subset data was used to add species occurrence information to species lists for each refuge in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho). The full dataset can be accessed online through ScienceBase. And this metadata leaves most metadata fields untouched from the original, except to add details related to additional processing to make a refuge specific subset, for a specific purpose (populating species lists/occurrences on refuges). All questions regarding the BBS data itself should go to USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. 

The 1966-2019 North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) dataset contains avian point count data for more than 700 North American bird taxa (species, races, and unidentified species groupings). These data are collected annually during the breeding season, primarily in June, along thousands of randomly established roadside survey routes in the United States and Canada. Routes are roughly 24.5 miles (39.2 km) long with counting locations placed at approximately half-mile (800-m) intervals, for a total of 50 stops. At each stop, a citizen scientist highly skilled in avian identification conducts a 3-minute point count, recording every bird seen or heard within a quarter-mile (400-m) radius. Surveys begin 30 minutes before local sunrise and take approximately 5 hours to complete. Routes are sampled once per year, with the total number of routes sampled per year growing over time; just over 500 routes were sampled in 1966, while in recent decades approximately 3000 routes have been sampled annually. In addition to avian count data, this dataset also contains survey date, survey start and end times, start and end weather conditions, a unique observer identification number, route identification information, and route location information including country, state, and BCR, as well as geographic coordinates of route start point, and an indicator of run data quality.

Movement cost surface - A landscape connectivity analysis for the coastal marten (Martes caurina humboldtensis)

This Movement Cost Surface (raster) is an intermediary modeling product that was produced by the Linkage Mapper tool (McRae and Kavanagh 2011) in the process of developing Least-Cost Paths (LCPs) and Least-Cost Corridors for use in our coastal marten connectivity model.  It is derived from two other datasets (ResistanceSurface and PrimaryModel_HabitatCores) and was produced using the Linkage Mapper parameters defined in the Lineage section of the geospatial metadata record.  More specifically, this is an intermediary product in which the resistance surface and habitat cores have been converted into a movement cost surface to show the accumulative movement cost (in cost-weighted meters) of moving away from each core.  The easiest way to understand where this intermediary dataset fits into the broader Linkage Mapper modeling process is to review the Linkage Mapper User Guide, available on circuitscape.org (McRae and Kavanagh 2016). Refer to the PrimaryModel_LeastCostCorridors, ResistanceSurface, and PrimaryModel_HabitatCores metadata records for additional context.

Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge (Hart Mountain NAR): Invasive Plant Inventory and Early Detection Prioritization Tool (IPIEDT) - Area, Species, Area-Species Link Tables, 2021

The IPIEDT is an Access Database file. The user responds to questions in a “yes/no/unknown” format or chooses from a list of states or conditions that best describe the situation. Each descriptive response corresponds to a numerical value which is then used to calculate species and area scores and generate ranked lists. A higher species or area score correlates to a higher priority for inventory.

The workshop's resulting data tables are archived so that the results of the workshop are preserved if the master database receives changes based on new threats or areas. Each Invasive Plant Species and Area Prioritization Workshop will have an IPIEDT Access database and 2-3 stand-alone CSV outputs. Each table is offered as an open source CSV and the Access Database tool zipped and is also available for download.
