Biogeographic Synthesis Compositions are made up of Biogeographic Analysis Packages. The Compositions present a logical collection of analyses, scientific findings, and other information about a geographic region or issue. Eventually, the Compositions will be driven semantically to bring in particular BAPs based on their characteristics. In the short term, we are configuring Compositions manually by linking specific Packages to each Composition.

The Taxa Information Registry is a component of the Biogeographic Information System that provides routes to various lists of species of interest in our analytical work. This ScienceBase collection documents the routes and serves as a directory of the species lists or sources of taxa names of interest in our work. Each registered source is run through a set of living information assembly processes that consult various sources of related information to assemble data that we put behind our API for our own use and use by others. These are "living processes" in that they are repeated through time to produce new versions of information, and those changes in available information then drive other aspects of our information...

One of the foundational products the Biogeographic Characterization Branch puts out is a national synthesis of Species of Greatest Conservation Need from across U.S. States and Territories. The species lists are stored in their own collection in ScienceBase. This item provides documentation of the route to those lists for the Taxa Information Registry process.

The Integrated Rangeland Fire Management Strategy (the Strategy) sets in motion actions to enhance the protection, conservation, and restoration of a healthy sagebrush-steppe ecosystem, and to address important public safety, economic, cultural, and social concerns. The Strategy is intended to improve the efficiency and efficacy of actions to better prevent and suppress rangeland fire, and improve efforts to restore fire-impacted landscapes. Identification of geospatially-explicit management strategies will further efforts to conserve important greater sage-grouse habitats by limiting the likelihood of habitat loss due to fire and targeting management strategies to improve resilience. Geospatial tools and enhanced...

The Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) is the official inventory of protected open space in the United States. With over 3 billion acres in thousands of holdings, the spatial data in PAD-US include public lands, overlapping management designations, and Marine Protected Areas held in trust by national, state, some local governments, and by some nonprofit conservation organizations.
