Data are composite estimates (and standard errors) of the percentage of sagebrush area in desired conditions for 13 vegetation and soil indicators of land health on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in Wyoming. Composite estimates were obtained using composite estimation to combine estimates from two overlapping BLM terrestrial, field-based monitoring surveys: the Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring terrestrial survey and the Landscape Monitoring Framework survey. Both are probability sample surveys. The case study area was sagebrush communities in Wyoming Greater Sage-Grouse (sage-grouse) Core and NonCore conservation areas on BLM lands in Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies Greater Sage-Grouse...

The recent proliferation of oil and natural gas energy development in the Greater Green River Basin of southwest Wyoming has accentuated the need to understand wildlife responses to this development. The location and extent of surface disturbance that is created by oil and natural gas well pad scars are key pieces of information used to assess the effects of energy infrastructure on wildlife populations and habitat. A digital database of oil and natural gas pad scars had previously been generated from 1-meter (m) National Agriculture Imagery Program imagery (NAIP) acquired in 2009 for a 7.7-million hectare (ha) (19,026,700 acres) region of southwest Wyoming (Garman and McBeth, 2014). Scars included the pad area...
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.
