Summary

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 Management Zone [...]

Purpose

Data were used in a case study to assess the degree of improvement in accuracy and precision of composite estimates relative to estimates of either of the monitoring surveys. Also, the composite estimates document land-health conditions of sagebrush in the two sage-grouse conservation areas on Wyoming BLM lands in WAFWA MZ II and were used to determine important differences between the areas for the 2015-18 time period.
