Prairie Reconstruction Initiative Overview

Overview This Feature Service supplies comprehensive data from the Prairie Reconstruction Initiative across various organizations and states. It integrates spatial and tabular data capturing aspects of seeded areas, planting units, plug areas, survey data, and species information, supporting ecological restoration efforts. Feature Layers * Seeded Area: Contains polygon features representing areas where prairie seeds have been sown. Attributes include planting year, seeding methods, site preparation details, costs, invasive species presence, and target prairie information, enabling assessment of restoration practices and site conditions. * Planting Unit: Represents areas of planting units with objectives linked to ecological, hydrological, aesthetic, soil conservation, and habitat development goals. Provides contact and access level information facilitating management and coordination of restoration units. * Plug Area: Polygon data featuring details of planting activities for plug and bareroot plantins, including: operator information, planting type, site conditions, planting methods, costs, watering events, and physiological soil properties. * Site: Provides spatial context for the restoration projects with organizational and office information for site management and metadata records. * Nested Point and Meandering Line Survey Data: Point and line features representing the spatial component of survey observations done utilizing the PRI monitoring protocol, including: observer details, survey timing, species presence, and abundance, allowing monitoring of prairie reconstruction progress and biodiversity assessments. Licensing Data is provided under the terms from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, which disclaims liability for data inaccuracies and recommends consultation of metadata for quality assessment.
FWS_R7_Realty_Conservation_System_Units_feature_layer

This feature layer depicts the various Conservation System units within the State of Alaska. It includes the boundaries of the following CSU types: * National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness * National Park and Preserve * National Monument * National Historical Park * National Wild River * National Forest and Wilderness The boundaries of National Wildlife Refuges and National Wildlife Refuge Wilderness were compiled and are maintained by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Region 7, Division of Realty. All other CSU boundaries were compiled and are maintained by the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service. Refer to the NPS and USFS GIS data websites for the current CSU boundaries that are maintained by those agencies.
West-Central Louisiana Ecosystem Partership (WLEP) boundary

FOR non-AGOL ACCOUNT HOLDERS, DOWNLOAD THIS GEOSPATIAL DATA HERE: [https://gis-fws.opendata.arcgis.com/search?tags=lmvjv] The LMVJV participates as a partner in the site-based Longleaf Pine implementation teams inspired and informed by America’s Longleaf Restoration Initiative, which has developed partnerships such as the WLEP that strive to create viable Longleaf Pine ecosystems with the full spectrum of ecological, economic, and social values. The WLEP Technical Assistance Team was established to provide technical assistance including recommendations for site preparation, planting, burning and maintaining your longleaf forest; inform landowners/users about various cost share programs available; and assist in maintaining longleaf habitat by providing follow-up technical assistance for completed projects. The WLEP boundary is principally defined by 21 parish boundaries in the west-cental area of Louisiana.
MAV / WGCPO wetland sanctuary

FOR non-AGOL ACCOUNT HOLDERS, DOWNLOAD THIS GEOSPATIAL DATA HERE: [https://gis-fws.opendata.arcgis.com/search?tags=lmvjv] Sanctuary data are defined as a managed public land waterfowl impoundment boundaries that also include the area immediately adjacent to that hydrologic unit that was officially designated as closed to all waterfowl hunting or closed to all access during the waterfowl season. Data were acquired from numerous sources (primarily LMVJV partner agencies) and over a number of years. 5000m buffers were applied to all waterfowl sanctuary impoundment units to capture the area immediately adjacent to the aquatic habitat that waterfowl would likely use as they move around the sanctuary area. In the process of developing a wetland complex model for wetlands and winter waterfowl, the LMVJV acquired and processed a collection of waterfowl sanctuary across the Mississippi Alluvial Valley and West Gulf Coastal Plain / Ouachitas geographies of the southern US. We defined a wetland complex as an area of appropriate size for conservation planning with suitable water coverage and persistence, heterogeneity and structure of vegetation, energy density and quality, and sanctuary to provide all of the resources needed by ducks during a portion of the non-breeding period (late fall to early spring). Based on this definition, we developed three primary sub-models for those factors that we could measure geospatially. We developed sub-models for Wetland Type to capture water coverage and heterogeneity of vegetation, Sanctuary, and Energy. The three sub-models were combined into a final Wetland Complex model. The data provided here are NOT the sanctuary model derived in this process, but the on-the-ground waterfowl habitat designations relative to hunting access.
