This work centers on using remote-sensing tools and protocols for monitoring long-term changes in vegetation cover across the WLCI region. This information is crucial for understanding patterns of change within sagebrush habitats, including historical changes and potential trajectories of future changes. Our study targets five components of vegetation cover: all shrubs, sagebrush shrubs, herbaceous vegetation, litter, and bare ground, which we quantify by one-percent intervals. Based on samples collected both in the field and from satellite imagery, the USGS can evaluate and quantify the amount and distribution of long-term changes in the target components. This work and its associated products represent the operational...
This community focuses on developing and implementing remote-sensing protocols that allow monitoring of spatial projections of continuous cover estimates for sagebrush rangeland habitat components to support affordable, repeated assessment of ecosystems. This work quantifies continuous cover predictions for shrubs, sagebrush, herbaceous vegetation, litter, and bare ground, as well as an estimate of overall shrub height, at multiple spatial scales across several study sites in the western U.S.
In 'Predicted (1989-2015) and forecasted (2015-2114) rate of change and recovery of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) following energy development in southwestern Wyoming, USA', we provide spatially- and temporally-explicit maps of predictions for the rate of change and time to recovery and percent recovery of sagebrush cover after 100 years (Monroe et al. In revision). The rasters beginning with "sage.rate" depict the predicted annual rate of change in sagebrush cover for each timestamp interval, across the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative area (WLCI) in southwestern Wyoming, USA (1989-2015). The files 'time_to_recov.tif' and 'perc_recov.tif' are rasters for predicted time to recovery and percent recovery after...

In 'Predicted (1989-2015) and forecasted (2015-2114) rate of change and recovery of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) following energy development in southwestern Wyoming, USA (ver. 2.0, January 2021)', we provide spatially- and temporally-explicit maps of predictions for the rate of change and time to recovery and percent recovery of sagebrush cover after 100 years (Monroe et al. 2020). The rasters beginning with "sage.rate" depict the predicted annual rate of change in sagebrush cover for each timestamp interval, across the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative area (WLCI) in southwestern Wyoming, USA (1989-2015). The files 'time_to_recov_v2.0.tif' and 'perc_recov_v2.0.tif' are rasters for predicted time to recovery...
Work Accomplished in FY2009 and Findings Eight Landsat- and eight AWiFS-based habitat-component models were completed for the WLCI area, including estimates of cover percentage for shrub, herbs, litter, sagebrush, big 48 sagebrush, Wyoming sagebrush, and bare ground, and for shrub height. According to an independent accuracy assessment, primary root mean square error (RMSE) values for habitat components based on QuickBird (2.4-m resolution) ranged from 4.90 to 10.16; those based on Landsat (30-m resolution) ranged from 6.04 to 15.85; and those based on AWiFS (56-m resolution) ranged from 6.97 to 16.14. The models improved the state-wide characterization of categorical landcover classes by 8 percent over the National...
