General land manager description (e.g. Federal, Tribal, State, Private) standardized for the US. See PAD-US Data Standard for "Agency Name" to "Agency Type" crosswalk or look up table included in data download, for full domain descriptions. Use "Manager Type" rather than "Owner Type" for the most complete depiction of federal lands as overlapping designations (i.e. "Designation") and ownership related data gaps (i.e. "Unknown") occur in the federal theme.

This provisional Biogeographic Analysis Package provides an analysis of protection status for ecological systems within Omernik Level III Ecoregions. The ecological system classification defines groups of plant communities that tend to co-occur within landscapes with similar ecological processes, substrates, and/or environmental gradients and is the primary map class used in the Gap Analysis Program (GAP) land cover layer (based on 2001 satellite imagery). This package can be used to identify the ecoregions where ecological systems have the greatest representation in GAP Status 1 and 2 lands (lands managed for the protection of biodiversity) and the ecoregions where ecological systems are the least protected....

The USGS Science Analytics and Synthesis Foundational Data Community supports the SAS mission by providing reliable scientific occurrence, habitat, taxonomic, and range data for terrestrial, freshwater and marine species and ecosystems and protected areas data for the U.S.. These datasets are each supported by an update plan that is determined to meet stakeholder and user needs. The datasets are national in scope and are an authoritative source for the information they provide.

Level of public access permitted. Open requires no special requirements for public access to the property (may include regular hours available). Restricted requires a special permit from the owner for access, a registration permit on public land or has highly variable times when open to use. Closed occurs where no public access is allowed (land bank property, special ecological study areas, military bases, etc.). Unknown is assigned where information is not currently available. Access is assigned categorically by Designation Type or provided by PAD-US State Data Stewards, federal or NGO partners. Contact the PAD-US Coordinator with available public access information: lisajjohnson@boisestate.edu

The GAP Status Code is a measure of management intent to conserve biodiversity defined as: Status 1: An area having permanent protection from conversion of natural land cover and a mandated management plan in operation to maintain a natural state within which disturbance events (of natural type, frequency, intensity, and legacy) are allowed to proceed without interference or are mimicked through management. Status 2: An area having permanent protection from conversion of natural land cover and a mandated management plan in operation to maintain a primarily natural state, but which may receive uses or management practices that degrade the quality of existing natural communities, including suppression of natural disturbance....
