This map service is an information surface which displays the hydrologic soil group class of each soil map unit based upon the dominant component in the soil map unit. Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long-duration storms. The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well...

Ecoregions of the United States, developed by Robert G. Bailey of the Forest Service Inventory and Monitoring Institute. From metadata: this data set shows ecoregions, which are ecosystems of regional extent, in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Four levels of detail are included to show a hierarchy of ecosystems. The largest ecosystems are domains, which are groups of related climates and which are differentiated based on precipitation and temperature. Divisions represent the climates within domains and are differentiated based on precipitation levels and patterns as well as temperature. Divisions are subdivided into provinces, which are differentiated based on vegetation or other natural...

The footprint of the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative, showing level IV ecoregions, as defined by James Omernik (see metadata for citations). The Excel table shows each ecoregion's area (in square meters and acres) and its percent of the total area. From metadata: "Ecoregions denote areas of general similarity in ecosystems and in the type, quality, and quantity of environmental resources. They are designed to serve as a spatial framework for the research, assessment, management, and monitoring of ecosystems and ecosystem components. A Roman numeral hierarchical scheme has been adopted for different levels for ecological regions." Level I is the coursest division and level IV is the finest. ...

This web link connects to a list of the applied science projects that were chosen by the Bureau of Reclamation to receive funding in 2011. Full proposals are included. http://www.usbr.gov/WaterSMART/lcc/2011propsals.html In addition, a PDF list of the projects (without links to their proposals) is attached here. The projects are intended to assist management decisions for the Desert and Southern Rockies Landscape Cooperatives.
These Excel bar graphs display change in temperature and precipitation between several time periods in the SRLCC climate projection data sets (located in the ScienceBase item: Time series data (CSV files): SRLCC total area and ecoregions and graphed as Excel time series scatter plots in SRLCC Time Series Graphs - Monthly Precipitation and SRLCC Time Series Graphs - Monthly Temperature). The projection data sets are subsets of Maurer, et al.’s 2007 bias corrected, spatially downscaled monthly climate predictions1. The subsets contain data averaged across the area of the SRLCC footprint or its ecoregions and were created using the USGS Geo Data Portal tool (a description of the process is included below). ...

The USGS GAP Analysis Program has developed range maps and distribution models for 1401 species, 604 of which are found within the SRLCC. This record's parent folder contains several examples of GAP species web services. The GAP website has a complete list of available web services for species as well as a map viewer for species data. Species: Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) There are two web services for this species: the range map, showing the geographic limits within which the species can be found, and a distribution model, which predicts the environment within the range that is suitable for occupation by the species. Link to metadata for GAP range maps and distribution models. To access services, select...
