This is a compilation of vegetation data across the Willamette Valley using image segmentation. This is current as of 2012. This was used to frame a spatial analysis of habitat types across the Willamette Valley for the USFWS.

In 2014, the Arid Lands Initiate (ALI) developed a set of shared Priority Core Areas (PCAs) for conservation using a Marxan-based approach (see the Phase 1 report here for details). Subsequently, we conducted a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment CCVA) for those PCAs, and the map service below displays those results. The full background and methods for creating for this map service, along with results interpretation, are provided in the final report for the second phase of the project (available here). A basic summary is provided below: A significant amount of climate change research has been completed in the region, much of it funded by the GNLCC and the NW Climate Science Center, and it provided a firm...
This project identifies priority areas in the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion to implement conservation 4 strategies for riverine and riparian habitat. This is tailored towards the Arid Lands Initiative (ALI) conservation goals and objectives, and provides the foundation for adaptation to a changing climate. This project adopts a “zoned” approach to identifying focal areas, connectivity management zones and zones for riparian habitat and ecological representation. Through a series of workshops and webinars, the ALI articulated its freshwater conservation goals and targets. Key aspects of these goals included: a focus on non-anadromous salmonid (salmon and steelhead) species, include riparian birds and waterfowl as key...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
