For the Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design (GRB LCD) assessment, we mapped the vulnerability of the sagebrush ecosystem to oil and gas development for each 12-digit hydrologic unit. Using a vulnerability framework, we defined Sensitivity (S) as the multi-scale average of sagebrush ecosystem land cover derived from LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Type (LANDFIRE 2014). Exposure (E) to oil and gas development was quantified as the average kernel density of active oil and gas wells at multiple scales. Potential Impact (PI) is the square root transformed product of oil and gas development exposure and sagebrush ecosystem sensitivity. Adaptive Capacity (AC) for sagebrush ecosystem was quantified as the inverse...

For the Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design (GRB LCD) assessment, we mapped the vulnerability of riparian habitat for terrestrial species and process. Using a vulnerability framework, we defined Sensitivity (S) as the percent riparian vegetation within the valley bottom and Exposure (E) as the amount of human modification within the valley bottom. For each 12-digit hydrologic unit code within the GRB LCD we summarized the riparian sensitivity and exposure to human modification. We also computed Potential Impact (PI), and Adaptive Capacity (AC) metrics at the HUC12 level. PI is the square root transformed product of human modification exposure and riparian sensitivity. AC for riparian exposure to human...

For the Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design (GRB LCD) assessment, we mapped the vulnerability of the critical habitat for threatened and endangered fish species to oil and gas development for each 12-digit hydrologic unit. The following threatened and endangered fish species were included in this vulnerability assessment: Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius), Bonytail Chub (Gila elegans), Humpback chub (Gila cypha), and razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus). Using a vulnerability framework, we defined Sensitivity (S) as the average combined area of critical fish habitat within HUC12 polygons. Exposure (E) to oil and gas development was quantified the log transformed upstream flow accumulation of...

This dataset depicts riparian vegetation in the valley bottoms at 10-meter resolution for the Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design (GRB LCD) project area covering portions of Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. Values are continuous and represent the portion of each 10-meter pixel comprised by woody riparian vegetation.
The Green River Basin Vulnerability Model Tools and Python Code folder contains ArcGIS 10.2.1 model builder tools and python scripts used in the development of output datasets for the Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design. Provide is a ArcGIS model builder toolset for each vulnerability assessment. ArcGIS models have also been exported as python code for archiving purposes. Custom python scripts for computing the patch importance and permeability flow line inputs into the sagebrush ecosystem permeability model are also provided.
This document describes the why, what, who, and how of the Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design. The Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design project (GRB LCD) is an opportunity to think, plan, and act across boundaries and jurisdictions to meet mutual goals for agreed upon conservation targets in the ecosystems of the Green River Basin. This effort is not intended to replace existing science or plans, and is not intended to undermine current management. Rather, through a collaborative process, the project will complement existing projects and partnerships by synthesizing and developing spatial data and information that is consistent and comprehensive across the Basin to provide the landscape-scale...
The Green River Landscape Conservation Design project (GRB LCD) is an effort to identify spatially-explicit conservation opportunities for the Green River Basin ecosystems via a collaborative process. Through the LCD process, stakeholders across the focal region are convened and common management objectives and conservation concerns identified. Existing datasets relevant to these objectives and concerns are identified and analyzed to determine condition and trend of resources and stressors in a spatially-explicit manner. This enables conservation targets and opportunities to be identified in an approach that directly incorporates diverse objectives, perspectives, and experiences across the focal region. The overall...
Our primary goal is to develop a LCD for the GRB that will serve as a model of strategic landscape conservation design that could be applied across multiple geographic focal areas. We aim to co-define the partners’ landscape scale priorities and use them, along with data and decision support tools, to support science-informed decisions by resource managers across the GRB. The project will generate spatially-explicit assessments of the current and potential future condition of ecosystems that support the SR and GN LCC conservation priorities. Important relationships with LCC partners will be strengthened and new partnerships forged for next steps in determining roles for the SR and GN in landscape scale conservation....

For the Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design (GRB LCD) assessment, we mapped the vulnerability of sagebrush ecosystem to climate change and resistance/resilience for each 12-digit hydrologic unit. Using a vulnerability framework, we defined Sensitivity (S) as the multi-scale average of sagebrush ecosystem land cover derived from LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Type (LANDFIRE 2014). Exposure (E) to climate change was based on the max-normalized value of climate velocity from AdaptWest (2015). Potential Impact (PI) is the square root transformed product of climate change exposure and sagebrush ecosystem sensitivity. Adaptive Capacity (AC) of sagebrush ecosystem to climate change was based on soil and landform...
