SEI 1998-2001 perennial G 560m Tiled

Sage Ecological Integrity Layer 1998-2001 perennial G 560m. This data was compiled as a part of a landscape conservation design effort for the sagebrush biome, and are the result of applying a spatially explicit model that assessed geographic patterns in sagebrush ecological integrity and used these results to identify Core Sagebrush Areas (CSAs), Growth Opportunity Areas (GOAs), and Other Rangeland Areas (ORAs). Our overall objective in this study was to characterize geographic patterns in ecological integrity of sagebrush ecosystems. Our overall objective in this study was to characterize geographic patterns in ecological integrity of sagebrush ecosystems. The data represents the estimated integrity of sagebrush ecosystems, estimated from a spatial model that assigns high integrity is areas with abundant big sagebrush and perennial grass/forb cover and with minimal annual grass/forb cover, minimal conifers, and minimal human modification. This spatial model was applied over the entire sagebrush biome for several time periods and were estimated for 5 historical time periods between 1998 and 2020, and for one future time period (2030-2060). For each time period, input data were derived from satellite imagery, and the spatial model used those input values to estimate sagebrush ecological integrity. This approach to estimating ecological integrity was developed by consultation with experts from across the biome, allowing for the relationship between integrity and plant cover to vary among regions, as described in Doherty et al (2022). These data can be used to inform and prioritize conservation and restoration efforts across the sagebrush biome.

usfws_Q2WA_P01_Spiranthes_diluvialis_current_range_simp

This is a dataset representing the polygonal boundaries for the Ute ladies'-tresses (Spiranthes diluvialis) as understood by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The complete layer is found in ECOS. Ute ladies-tresses is a perennial herb with erect, glandular-pubescent stems 12-60 cm tall arising from tuberous-thickened roots. Basal leaves are narrowly linear, up to 1 cm wide and 28 cm long, and persist at the time of flowering. Leaves become progressively smaller up the stem and are alternate. The inflorescence is a sparsely pubescent 3-15 cm long spike of numerous small white or ivory-colored flowers arranged in a gradual spiral. Individual flowers are 7.5-15 mm long and faintly fragrant (with a vanilla-like scent). The lip petal is oval to lance-shaped, narrowed at the middle, and has crispy-wavy margins. Sepals are separate or fused only at the base (not fused into a hood-like structure) and are often spreading at their tips. Fruits are cylindric capsules with numerous seeds. The species occurs in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

Any maps or geographic information is not to be used for legal purposes or boundary delineation.
usfws_Q26U_P01_Castilleja_levisecta_current_range_simple

This is a dataset representing the polygonal boundaries for the golden paintbrush (Castilleja levisecta) as understood by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The complete layer can be found on ECOS. Castilleja levisecta is a member of the Orabanchaceae family. Golden paintbrush was known from 11 populations at the time of listing. After years of experimentation on how best to establish the species, we now can treat an area with prescribed fire, spot spray with herbicides (only if needed), and then establish the species by seeding it into the treated site. We now have established greater than 40 new populations range wide (Oregon and Washington), with more than 15 of the populations having met the Recoverypopulation size of greater than 1,000 flowering plants per site. We continue to restore areas that support golden paintbrush, augment these populations with seedlings, or seed, and we will continue to establish new populations on National Refuge and Park lands.

Bay County Box Turtle Program v1.2_stakeholder

The Bay County Box Turtle Project is a citizen science initiative aimed at the conservation of box turtles and their habitats in neighborhoods of Bay County, Florida. Box turtles, like all residents in Bay County, are adapting to the dramatic changes caused by Hurricane Michael. Box turtles seek shelter in the shaded, brushy cover of wood piles, thick vegetation, and shrubbery- habitat features that have been affected by the storm and its aftermath. We believe that a thriving box turtle population indicates that ample green spaces exist throughout a neighborhood to provide food and shelter, and pathways for turtles and other wildlife. As we clean-up, rebuild, and replant our neighborhoods, we intend to monitor the status of box turtles as a biological indicator of the recovery of the natural elements that make Bay County neighborhoods a unique and special place for all. Our Geographic Focus- We are currently tagging turtles and requesting your sighting reports in: The Cove (Panama City), College Point (Lynn Haven), and Lower Grand Lagoon (Panama City Beach).

[FWS Mexican Wolf Website] [Mexican Wolf Reintroduction Project Data Management Plan] [ServeCat Reference] The FWS R2 ES Mexican Wolf Project 2020 Occupied Range Map contains reference layers including cities within the occupied range and Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area (MWEPA) zones. The MWEPA is a defined geographic area that encompasses Arizona and New Mexico from Interstate 40 south to the international border with Mexican. Mexican wolves may be initially released from captivity or translocated in Zone 1. Captive born Mexican wolves that are less than 5 months old and translocation-eligible adults may be released in Zone 1 and 2. Mexican wolves are allowed to disperse and occupy in Zone 3, but neither initial releases nor translocation may occur. See [50 CFR 17.84(k)] for more details. The Map also contains the 2020 Occupied Range, which z20 Occupied Range layer shows the area occupied by Mexican Wolves at the end of 2020. The USFWS Mexican Wolf 2020 Occupied Range generated based on GPS locations, sightings and sign search.

SantaRosaPlain_PBO_Fires

Sonoma County Fires - Cal Fire dataset 20171025 - Footprint of three fires that occurred in the year 2017. Fire perimeters provided by Sonoma County GIS supervisor Shelly Bianchi-Williamson in an e-mail to Vincent Griego, FWS Biologist. The source is from CalFire. Original dataset name "CalFire_20171025_2130_FirePoly_Central_LNU" as downloaded from Cal Fire's 2017 Incidents FTP site. Version Information: The data is updated yearly with fire perimeters from the previous fire season. Fire17_1 was released April 13th, 2018. 612 wildfires from the 2017 fire season were added to the database. Three USFS wildfires from previous years were also added (1 from 2014, and 2 from 2016). Attributes from 3 USFS wildfires were also corrected (Willow 2015, Gilman and Meadow 2016). Two new USFS Forest were added to the domain list of Units (Rogue River-Siskiyou NF & Fremont NF).The Barry Point Fire is now attributed to the Rogue River-Siskiyou, previoulsy it was attributed to other (as a unit). There are two fires for 2018 already in the database. ______________________________________________________________________________ CAL FIRE (including contract counties), USDA Forest Service Region 5, USDI Bureau of Land Managment & National Park Service, and other agencies jointly maintain a comprehensive fire perimeter GIS layer for public and private lands throughout the state. The data covers fires back to 1878 and 10 acres and greater. Detailed metadata is provided for each individual feature class. ________________________________________________________________________________ Historic Update Information: Fire16_1 was released May 4nd, 2017. I 2014 VNC fire perimeter was replaced by a more accurate version. 3 new periemters from 2014 were added (VNC). A new periemter from 2013 added. 66 new perimeters from 2015 were added. 92 new periemters in Marin County, from 1917 to 1934 were added. They were hand drawn by the Marin County fire Chief Garber and digitized and submitted by NPS. 8 duplicate fire perimeters were deleted. Fire15_1 was released June 9th, 2016. The ALARM_DATE and CONT_DATE fields have been changed from STRING fields to DATE fields. In the many cases where only the year of a fire existed (ex. 19170000) the tool couldn't process the data and the entry is NULL. In those cases, the year can be found in the YEAR field. Fire14_1 was released in May, 2014. After release, the NPS supplied corretions for 14 wildfires and 67 prescribed burns. The corrected data was posted to FRAP's data download page as fire14_1 in late May. Fire 14_2 was released in July, 2015 to reflect that changes had been made to the original release in late May. Version 14_1 from late May is an exact copy of version 14_2 released in July.
USFWS Joint Venture Sea Duck Key Habitat Sites Atlas v1 feature layer

This geodataset describes 85 sites throughout North America that constitute important sea duck habitats. It is intended to heighten awareness of valuable sea duck habitats, aid in prioritizing habitat conservation and protection efforts, and help in evaluating environmental assessments. Criteria for inclusion in this atlas were strict, relative to criteria used for other bird habitat designations, to highlight those habitats most critical to sea ducks during at least one season. To be included in this atlas, sites had to meet the following minimum criteria: (1a) The area supports at least 5% of the continental population of a sea duck species, or (1b) The area supports, or has recently supported, a total of 20,000 sea ducks (any species) during any season, and (2) The density of sea ducks within the area is at least 10 birds per square kilometer. It is important to note that abundance was estimated or calculated using a variety of methods and sources. Each site description includes an explanation of how abundance estimates were treated, whether indices were adjusted by estimates of detection, and how they should be interpreted. Due to the paucity of survey-based abundance estimates for sea ducks in many areas and in various seasons, expert opinion was often used as a basis for abundance estimates. Key habitat site descriptions include a synopsis of sea duck abundance and temporal importance of the site to sea ducks, as well as sensitivities or potential conflicts that may impact sea ducks or their habitats.
