Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) Relative Abundance or Population Index Models - Clipped to Current Occupied Range (US FWS 2015) by Management Zone (MZ) -- All MZs

This data set represents modeled Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) Relative Abundance or Population Index. Modeled data developed by US FWS Kevin Doherty et al. 2015. Model outputs clipped to Current Occupied Range (US FWS 2015). GRSG Relative Abundancemodels built within Management Zones because wide variation exists in occupied habitats across the range, and risks to sage-grouse vary across Management Zones. Lek data assembled by WAFWA was used to develop the Relative Abundancemodel. Detailed model outputs were reviewed by biologist from each state, including statistical tables of model fit and how predictions aligned with landscapes local biologist work in.A model was developed to quantify the relative density of breeding birds across [...]
