##### Abstract

GAP has developed individual state species habitat models based on state
land cover maps. These models cannot readily be regionalized due to
differing methods between the states. Ecological systems developed by
NatureServe are consistent interstate map units. Models for several
species were crosswalked from state GAP models to ecological systems
models. The resultant models appear to be consistent and describe
possible habitats used by the species. Very few modifications were
necessary to complete a regional model based on ecological systems due
to the widespread distribution and the generalistic nature of the
species in this study. Using ecological systems, environmental and
biogeography identifiers may increase the accuracy of the models. The
actual accuracy of the models cannot be tested until a regional map
coverage is created. Assigning occupied habitats directly to ecological
systems rather than crosswalking from land cover to ecological system
would eliminate the problems of converting the often general land cover
classes to ecological systems. Expert review of the regional models will
be essential.

**Introduction**

The USGS-GAP Analysis Program (GAP) has produced products, including
land cover maps and predicted species occurrence maps, for a majority of
the nation on a state-by-state basis. However, natural resource managers
and policy makers often need to analyze information across state
borders. GAP therefore has an interest in developing region-wide land
cover maps and wildlife habitat relationship models (WHRMs). The Great
Plains has been identified as an area of interest for regionalization.
This study was initiated to develop habitat models for a set of species
across a major portion of the Great Plains, including Montana, Wyoming,
Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, and
Iowa.

GAP has developed WHRMs through individual state GAP programs for much
of the Great Plains. Each state developed models based on the land cover
map created for their GAP project. The basic method of developing the
WHRMs is very similar across the states, although the extent of
literature searches varied from state to state. Various literature and
existing database sources were searched to identify habitats occupied by
a particular species, including special features and habitat buffers or
restrictions. Land cover map classes that corresponded to the identified
habitats were selected for the model. Available ancillary coverages,
such as elevation, soils, and wetlands, were used to further refine or
add to the model. These coverages were then added together to create a
mapped potential habitat model of a species. Limiting the potential
habitat to areas of known distribution further refined the map. Only
Nebraska differs greatly in the method of creating models. Their methods
involve a statistical tree analysis based on environmental variables
(Henebry et al. 2001).

The WHRMs from each state, however, cannot be readily mosaiced into
multi-state models because of the different techniques used in mapping
land cover. GAP applies the U.S. National Vegetation Classification
(USNVC) maintained by NatureServe as the classification standard for
mapping vegetation (FGDC 1997, Grossman et al. 1998). The goal of the
program is to map at the alliance level of the UNSVC. The states'
differing methods resulted in land cover maps of varying scales and
varying detail based on the available techniques and expertise available
at the time of mapping. Map classes range from associations (a level
lower than alliances) to aggregation of alliances to ecological
complexes. Each state chose different ways to combine associations
according to interests within the state.

Therefore, a land cover classification system that can be widely used
will greatly reduce any problems of regionalizing WHRMs across state
borders. Natureserve's ecological systems group plant associations from
one or several alliances that occur together in the landscape
(NatureServe 2002). Ecological systems are associated with alliances and
can be crosswalked to state land cover map classes. Ecological systems
definitions are strongly influenced by environmental factors and should
provide meaningful habitat mapping at regional scales (Menard and Lauver
2000). Thus, ecological systems are a viable solution to the problems of
cross-walking and matching map classes across states. Consistent maps
across the region can be created with ecological systems. A pilot
project involving the conversion of the Kansas GAP Land Cover Map to
ecological systems obtained good results (Menard et al. 2002). The
current study converts individual state WHRMs to models based on
ecological systems across the study area for a small set of species and
comments on the feasibility of converting state models based on land
cover map classes directly to ecological system models.

##### Methods

A list of all GAP species and subspecies modeled in the study area
(Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Minnesota, and Iowa) was compiled. From this list, five
amphibians, five reptiles, five mammals, and seven birds that breed
within the study area were chosen as pilot species for this project
(Table 1). If a state modeled more than one subspecies, the nominant
species was used as the pilot species. The species were selected from
several habitat guilds and for their widespread distribution so models
could be easily compared across states.

Data including land cover map classes descriptions, models for the pilot
species, species distribution and ancillary information were collected
from each state project in February 2003. For state projects with
completed final reports (Montana: Redmond et al. 1998, Colorado: Schrupp
et al., Wyoming: Merrill et al. 1996, Kansas: Cully et al. 2002) all
information was obtained from the final CDs. The other states were in
various stages of completion and were asked to provide what they could.
Nebraska did not provide information for this study. South Dakota and
Iowa provided completed models. North Dakota provided draft models.
Minnesota was just beginning the modeling process and provided rough
draft models for 11 of the 22 pilot species. No ancillary data had been
included in the models [For any state?, or just Minn.?]{.mark}.

Species distributions were not created for the extent of the study area
because of the lack of information for several states. However, since
the species chosen are widely distributed and somewhat habitat
generalists, distribution problems across state borders should be
minimal for these species. Discrepancies in the distribution will be
mainly due to the different geographic units (lat-long blocks, counties,
hexagons) used by each state to define the species range.

Matrix tables showing presence or absence for land cover map classes
were imported from final reports into a relational database. Matrix
tables were created from databases provided by the other states. All
ancillary data coverages used to create the models and additional
comments on the modeling process of a species were recorded in the
database.

Land cover map classes were crosswalked to ecosystems. A regional
project in five states (Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Nebraska, and
Kansas) is already underway to recode the original state land cover GAP
maps to ecological systems. By reviewing the plant associations within
the map classes, the land cover was crosswalked to the ecological system
or systems. The crosswalk provided by NatureServe for that project was
used for this study. Shannon Menard, Senior Regional Ecologist at
NatureServe, graciously provided crosswalks for the remaining states by
crosswalking alliances to GAP land covers. The alliances were in turn
simply crosswalked to the association concepts listed within the
ecological systems (NatureServe in prep.). These crosswalks have not
been thoroughly examined as they were in the regional project.
Inconsistencies may be present for the latter crosswalks because they
were not compared across states for consistency.

For many map classes, severa[l systems ?]{.mark} crosswalked to the map
class. This was especially true for several Montana classes that had
broad descriptions and were found statewide (i.e. mixed riparian). The
ecological systems that were assigned to these classes were examined for
modifications to the crosswalk. If biogeography was indicated as a
distinction between ecological systems, the original crosswalk was
retained. If biogeography did not play a role then the crosswalks were
examined for dominant alliances and these were assigned to the map
class. Most state crosswalks were not modified significantly because
many of the state land cover classes are generalized. Thus, it is
plausible that several ecological systems may be mapped within a
particular class. Since we are more familiar with Great Plains habitats
only the crosswalks relating to the Great Plains ecosystems were
modified. Again, these crosswalks were not edited and reviewed by
NatureServe like they were for the 5-state region project. Some states
used hydrography layers to enhance identification of possible wetland
and riparian habitats that were not delineated in the land cover map.
Where possible, these were crosswalked to ecological systems.
Presumably, these areas can be classified into ecological systems from
the combination of data from the land cover maps and environmental
variables such as landscape position or from remapping directly to
ecological systems. Land covers not readily crosswalked to ecological
system or region-wide land use (transportation, urban, etc,) were
retained as land cover classes.

Species WHRMs from each state were then linked to the regional
ecological systems through the crosswalks. Species models also were
developed only for the Great Plains ecosystems. However, the ecological
systems for the entire study area are retained in the database for
future evaluation. The new models were then examined for inconsistencies
and for systems that did not fit the intent of the original model. Forms
and reports were created in the database to facilitate modifications of
the models. The entire model broken down by state with crosswalked
ecological systems, ancillary data and model parameters could be viewed
on screen at once (Figure 1). Ecological systems that fit habitat
descriptions of the species but were not crosswalked were added to the
model. Systems that were crosswalked but did not fit the state model
were eliminated.

##### Results

The conversion of state land cover maps units to Great Plains ecological
systems yielded 42 systems, 7 land uses, and 32 land covers that could
not be currently attributed to a system (Appendix A). Most of the latter
land covers are semi-natural types. For most of the states, the number
of land classes (systems) was reduced. Several land cover map classes
could be lumped into one system. For example, several grassland types in
South Dakota were converted to the Northern Tallgrass Prairie System.
The number of classes increased only in Minnesota, Montana, and Wyoming.
This is probable due to the splitting of land map units into different
systems based on biogeography (North American Arid West Emergent Marsh
and Northwestern Great Plains Open Freshwater Depression), the wide
variety of habitats throughout Minnesota, and the use of several mixed
land cover classes by Montana. The crosswalks for Montana, North Dakota,
Minnesota, and Iowa have not been rigorously reviewed by NatureServe and
have not been analyzed for consistency across the states. The number of
ecological systems crosswalked to land cover classes will be refined as
more study is conducted. Future crosswalk projects will conduct studies
similar to the project for the southern five states.

The Great Plains portions of the crosswalked models for the 22 pilot
species are presented in Appendix B. Relatively few modifications were
made to the raw crosswalked ecological systems models. Changes were due
mainly to the inconsistency of the northern states' land cover class to
ecological system crosswalks.

Common deletions were barren grasslands types (e.g. Western Great Plains
Cliff and Outcrop) that were crosswalked to grassland type land cover
classes (e.g. Low/Moderate Cover Grasslands). Additions were very few
because if a plausible ecological system was missing from a model in one
state, it was usually included from the model of an adjoining state.
These additions were consistent with the WHRM of the state(s) that did
not include the system in their crosswalked model. Ecological systems
that occur across several states were usually crosswalked from more than
one state model. The systems models were very consistent across state
borders. This was expected due to the broad crosswalks of land cover
classes to several ecological systems, thus increasing the chance that
several states would crosswalk to the same systems. Through the use of
crosswalks, the state models were easily transformed to system models.
For the pilot species, very few modifications were necessary to complete
a regional model based on ecological systems. Since this study included
wide-spread species, biogeography descriptions within systems could not
be used to improve the models.

State GAP models for the pilot species commonly included buffered
coverages such as forest/grassland ecotones or additional ancillary
coverages. Ancillary data remains a part of the regional model within
the written portion of the models (Appendix B). The ecological systems
can be buffered in the same manner as the land cover classes. Current
ancillary data may be inherent within the ecological system
classification or additional coverages will be needed for the model.

##### Discussion

The crosswalks from state GAP models to regional ecological systems
models were very consistent. The species chosen for this pilot are for
the most part generalists and have wide habitat breadth. The few
discrepancies that occurred may be due to differing habitat use across
the region or it may be due to the amount of information accessible to
the modeler at the time. Further discrepancies within the models could
be worked out through an expert review process. Real conclusions and the
accuracy of these models cannot be tested until a region-wide ecological
system map is available.

Region-wide models work best for species with general habitat use (i.e.
tallgrass prairie or coniferous forest). This method would probably not
work as well for habitat specialists or with species that have disjunct
distributions. Wider discrepancies would undoubtedly be evident between
the states. On this scale, habitat maps intuitively have to be fairly
general. But this is a problem for any system used across a large
regional area. Region-wide models for species that are keying on
specific habitat features (structure, isolated trees) would need written
caveats attached to the model as was done for the state models. Mapping
the general habitat with descriptions on the specific habitats used
within the system will provide adequate species predictions for use in
analyzing regional questions. Ancillary data would probably still be an
important part of the model for some species.

However, the need for ancillary data may perhaps be reduced since many
of the available environmental data used to describe habitats by
ancillary datasets will be integrated into the system classification and
thus alleviate the problems of inconsistent use of ancillary data sets
within each state (Menard et al 2002). Thus converting existing models
to systems based models should provide adequate results. If a new
regional land cover map is created based on ecological systems, it may
describe habitats better because the systems are based more on
environmental factors than vegetation. Also in some states, remapping
with ecological systems and using up-to-date technologies will increase
the accuracy and the spatial resolution of the map. It may be more
advantageous to refine the models by looking at the original input data
and assigning occupied habitats directly to ecological systems rather
than crosswalking from land cover to ecological system. For some states
this may mean just crosswalking the original database sources to
ecological systems (Colorado). But for others it would mean reexamining
the literature and model parameters. When the definitions and
descriptions of ecological systems are finalized a database system
similar to the database created by Kansas GAP will ease the transition
from land cover based models to ecological systems based models.
Creating models directly from ecological systems will allow the modeler
to closely examine habitat data for environmental factors if available
for a species. This would eliminate the problem of crosswalking general
land cover classes to multiple ecological systems. For example the land
cover class sedge meadow translates to five ecological systems in
Minnesota. But these are uniquely identified by the location in the
landscape (marsh, pothole, floodplain, fen) and by biogeography (Eastern
Great Plains, North-Central Interior). The appropriate ecological system
could be directly chosen for the model based on the available habitat
data. The crosswalked state models could be used for comparison purposes
to ensure that all habitats are accounted for in the new systems model.

Using ecological systems to describe habitats will greatly reduce
inconsistencies found between land cover maps and thus species models.
This will be especially true with wetland habitats. One of the main
problems of the conversions was how wetlands and riparian habitats were
handled within each state. Methods used included using USGS DLG
hydrography layers to identify riparian areas by buffering streams and
rivers (Wyoming, Colorado, Montana), identifying marshes and swamps from
hydrography (Montana), using National Wetland Inventory (NWI) data
(North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa) and classifying all wetland habitats
directly from TM imagery (Kansas).

The USGS hydrography coverage is inconsistent from quadrangle to
quadrangle (see Montana report). Therefore piecing together hydrography
across a state let alone a region is very difficult. NWI data is the
standard wetland classification and is the most consistent data across
the region. But this data is not available digitally for all areas in
the region and is also becoming dated. Using ecological systems would
greatly reduce any inconsistencies by using the same method to map these
habitats across the region. Although losing permanency data (i.e.
seasonal, semipermanent), systems would provide a region-wide
classification that can be used on a broad scale and could be easily
understood by managers.

Although not a problem in this project, distribution discrepancies will
be reduced by applying ecological systems and extending distributions to
the edge of the habitat bordered by an environmental factor. Using the
systems\' environmental identifiers (soils, direction of slope,
floodplain, etc.) and biogeography identifiers (ecoregion, badlands,
etc.) may increase the accuracy of the models. In the same manner it
will refine the model by eliminating areas as potential habitat.
However, for many species this type of habitat information may not be
available. State to state transitions of distributions for species
requiring buffers will be smoothed by creating buffers based on the
ecological systems coverage.

Predicting species occurrences must be performed periodically as new
data, management tools, and policy objectives become available. Using
ecological systems as a basis for future modeling will eventually
provide an understandable and consistent means for identifying
meaningful habitats across large regions. Expert reviewers, as was the
case for GAP models, will play a critical role in creating regional
models.

written model. The tables show the predicted ecological systems for each
species, the potential states where the system will be mapped (X) and
the state GAP model from which the system was crosswalked (x). State
land cover map units that are not crosswalked at this time are in
parentheses. Land uses are also included in the models.
