Greater sage-grouse habitat suitability 15-years post simulated fire event and non-targeted sagebrush transplants (2015-2030)

Here, we present greater sage-grouse nesting habitat suitability 15-years after simulating a fire and planting of sagebrush. The planting design used here reflects a single-year (maximum-effort; me) habitat restoration effort where we used several small (ss) patches with low density (ld) planting of sagebrush. The planting was not targeted for nesting habitat, and the data reflects simulated habitat conditions in 2030.
To assess the degree to which transplanting sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) could quickly restore former sage-grouse habitat and the strategies by which greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) habitat restoration is best accomplished, we linked vegetation transitions with habitat selection models to evaluate habitat recovery. Within our modeling extent (Tuscarora, Nevada), we simulated the fire-induced loss of habitat, planting of sagebrush seedlings, and the regrowth of sagebrush and other vegetation over 15 years. We used sagebrush growth equations and vegetation state transitions to return and grow vegetation within the burned and planted areas. Every year, we updated seasonal sage-grouse habitat selection maps by re-applying pre-fire habitat selection equations to re-calculate the proportion of suitable habitat gained by sagebrush restoration efforts. We evaluated alternative planting designs to identify the key factors influencing habitat selection outcomes. Specifically, we varied the number of plants, patch sizes, densities, location of planting sites (i.e., random versus within sage-grouse nesting habitat), as well as post-transplant (30, 70, or 100%) survival. We assumed all planting occurred in a single year. We ranked the influence of these different planting factors on sage-grouse habitat recovery across restoration scenario. The following data reflect nesting habitat conditions 15-years after a simulated fire and sagebrush revegetation. Here, we provide the habitat recovery results for one of many different planting designs assessed for this project.

VETS-402 - Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) Expenditure Detail Report (EDR)

States use the Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) EDR to report obligation, expenditure, and staffing information for each grant award. The Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) uses this information to monitor administrative costs, staff utilization, and planned spending compared to actual spending for the staffing grant.

FY monies must be segregated and separately tracked. Therefore, states must complete one JVSG EDR per grant award, and update each quarter until all available funding has been expended.

Change in greater sage-grouse habitat suitability 15-years post simulated fire event and targeted sagebrush transplants (2015-2030)

Here, we present changes in greater sage-grouse nesting habitat suitability that represents habitat before a simulated fire event and post-fire event after simulating the planting of sagebrush. The planting design used here reflects the multi-year (my) habitat restoration effort where we used several moderate (sm) patches with high density (hd) planting of sagebrush. The planting was targeted for nesting habitat, and the data reflects the change in simulated habitat conditions between 2015 and 2030.

Vegetation data from burned and unburned sagebrush communities in eastern Washington (2016)

The dataset includes several variables sampled across burned and unburned sagebrush communities located in a ~30 square kilometer portion of the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion in eastern Washington, USA. The study area is characterized by landforms interspersed at fine-scales, representative of the channeled scabland topography of the region (Baker 2009), including: “mounds,” which are dome-like micro-topographic features, typically 1-2 m in height and ~2 m to 25 m in mean diameter, with relatively deep, well-drained loess soils; and surrounding “flats,” with  rocky, thin-soils over basaltic bedrock. Unburned mounds are typically dominated by big sagebrush (A. tridentata) and flats by scabland sagebrush (A. rigida) communities. We used a stratified-random sampling design to select potential sites across the study area based on two primary strata: 1) landform-community type (i.e. big sagebrush mounds and scabland sagebrush flats); and 2) recent fire frequency, including  unburned, once- (2012), twice- (2003, 2012), and thrice-burned (2003, 2007, 2012) areas. A total of 80 sites (10 sites X two landforms X four burned strata) were sampled in 2016. Vegetation sampling was conducted at each site within a 10 x 10 m plot, a size and shape deemed optimal for the small landforms. Within each plot we measured several vegetation characteristics as outlined in the Data Quality Section.

Orthomosaic imagery for Whiskeytown Lake and surrounding area, 2019-06-03

This portion of the data release presents an RGB orthomosaic image of Whiskeytown Lake and the surrounding area derived from Structure from Motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery acquired on 2019-06-03. The orthomosaic is available in a high-resolution 6-centimeter (cm) version, as well as a medium-resolution 25 cm version. The high-resolution version is divided into two tiles (east and west) to reduce file download sizes. All imagery is provided in a three-band cloud-optimized GeoTIFF format, with 8-bit unsigned integer values compressed using high-quality JPEG compression. The raw imagery used to create the orthomosaic was acquired from a manned aircraft on 2019-06-03. The acquisition flight was conducted by The 111th Group Aerial Photography, using a Nikon D850 camera. The acquisition covered two areas-of-interest (AOI) at different scales. The AOI for this dataset (referred to as AOI-A) covered the area immediately surrounding Whiskeytown Lake, which is the same area imaged in the 2018-12-02 acquisition (also available as a part of this data release). The imagery was acquired from an approximate altitude of 610 meters (2,000 feet) above ground level, to produce a nominal ground-sample distance (pixel size) of 5 centimeters (2 inches). An onboard dual-frequency GPS receiver was used to record the precise time and position of each image. Coordinates for ground control points consisting of photo-identifiable objects were measured independently using survey-grade post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS.
