This shapefile maps the 2012 vegetation communities for all historic wetlands in the Rainwater Basin region of Nebraska, USA. Vegetation communities include cropped areas that rarely pond water, cropped areas that often pond water, bare soil or mudflat, standing water, moist soil species, wetmeadow species, grasses, reed canarygrass, river bulrush, cattail, and woody species. Communities are based on training data from 2012 field vegetation surveys of over 12,000 points. This map is an update of a RWB vegetation map created in 2004. These data were processed by Ele Nugent, Roger Grosse, and Andy Bishop with the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture (RWBJV), with help from RWBJV Geographic Information Systems Laboratory...

Historic wetland footprints produced by combining National Wetland Inventory (NWI, 2009 updated), NRCS hydric soils data, and contemporary field surveys. These historic footprints provide the basis for restoration implementation within the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex. This data was revised in 2016, succeeding the 2004 version. The 2016 revisions included eliminating historic wetland survey data, replacing NWI with the 2009 updated data, and inclusion of Olbut soils as a hydric soil class.

Working with the conservation partnership in the Central Loess Hills BUL, this project was designed to develop the necessary baseline data and species habitat models needed to guide targeted conservation. Development of a conservation portfolio for the Central Loess Hills required five separate, but equally important elements. The elements of this project were: 1) Develop a spatially accurate landcover that delineates key habitats for which at-risk species respond, 2) Analyze landcover to develop meaningful landscape indices that can be used to develop spatially explicit species habitat models, 3) Collect and compile occurrence data for priority species (greater prairie chicken, whooping crane, and waterfowl), 4)...

This is a land cover dataset for Nebraska that was most recently updated in January 2013 by the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture. This metadata record supplements the complete description of the data in Bishop, A., Barenberg, A., Volpe, N., and Grosse, R. January, 2011 Nebraska Land Cover Development.

This shapefile is part of the Rainwater Basin (RWB) Roundout Priority Model to prioritize the acquisition of roundouts in the RWB. Criteria include Acres of Hydric Soil, Wetland Priority, Ownership, Land Use, Wetland Modifications, Roads, Human Infrastructure, Supplemental Water, Concentrated Animal Feedlots, and Power Lines. This shapefile contains the results of the RWB Easement Acquisition Model by the Farm Service Agency's Common Land Unit tracts. This dataset was processed by Roger Grosse and Daniel Uttecht with the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture (RWBJV). Criteria for the Model were developed by the RWBJV GIS Lab and the RWB Acquisition Workgroup.

These raster files showing wetland areas that were functional during Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex Annual Habitat Survey. Annual Habitat Surveys (AHS) identify areas of wetland ponding and function (ponding and potential hydrophyte vegetation) during spring migration. The information is developed by Rainwater Basin Joint Venture to identifying how much habitat the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex provides to migratory waterfowl on an annual basis. AHS have been completed for 2004 and 2006-2020 where high-resolution aerial photos of the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex are classified using an image object classification software to determine land cover (hydrophyte water, agriculture water, hydrophytes, agriculture,...

The Rainwater Basin wetland complex (RWB) provides critical spring migration habitat for millions of waterfowl annually. As the region was settled, the abundant wetlands were drained for agricultural purposes. The ephemeral nature of these wetlands and lack of contemporary data prompted the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture to acquire aerial photography on an annual basis. Imagery was collected during peak waterfowl migration in the spring of 2004 and annually from 2006 to 2015. These years characterize a wide range of high plains climactic variability, ranging from drought to flooding. Analyses of these data have provided new insight into the distribution, function, and habitat provided by RWB wetlands. These...

This ranking criterion was developed to identify those pits that most negatively impact watershed integrity of publically owned and Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) playa wetlands. Currently, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) manages 59 Waterfowl Production Areas (WPAs) while the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission oversees 35 Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). These wetlands flood as a result of precipitation or snow melt. With the transition to pivot irrigation, a large number of irrigation reuse pits have been abandoned over recent years. Although not being used for irrigation, these pits continue to fill with water from precipitation events shortstopping water that could have reached the neighboring...

Priority grassland and wetland conservation areas for the Central Loess Hills (Central Table Playas) of Nebraska based on models developed by Bishop et al. 2011. The Cental Loess Hills are a prairie ecosystem with substantial area converted to agricultural practices. Eastern Red Cedar encroachment is a major concern for remaining grassland habitat. As such grasslands are intensively managed for Eastern Red Cedar control primarily through prescribed burns conducted by county prescribed burn associates and partner agencies. The regional also contains high densities of playa wetlands are a significant migratory bird stop over site and directly adjacent to other important wetland complexes.
The 2011 Prairie Dog Habitat Suitablity Model was developed by the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture using an additive ranking method of six variables based on expert opinion: soil range site, soil psammency, depth to water table, slope, land cover, and wetlands/hydrology. Many variables in the 2011 model are based on a previous 2004 Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) Model developed by GIS Workshop in 2003.
Historic wetland footprints produced by combining historic soil surveys, National Wetland Inventory (NWI), NRCS hydric soils data, and contemporary field surveys. The NWI data available at the time of production was the original 1980s data. These historic footprints provide the basis for restoration implementation within the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex. This data was revised in 2016 but the 2004 version is still used in some long-term datasets produced by the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture.

Geographic Focus Areas (GFAs) used for Rainwater Basin Joint Venture (RWBJV) species and habitat planning and reporting. These boundaries are based entirely or in part on the U.S. Environmental Protect Agency’s Level 4 Ecoregions, U.S. Department of Agriculture - Natural Resource Conservation Service’s Major Land Resource Areas, or Nebraska Game and Parks Commision’s Biologically Unique Landscapes. This revision of RWBJV GFAs replaces a previous version used in the RWBJV’s Impementation Plan (2013).

Inventory of irrigation reuse (or wetland concentration) pits in the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex. The inventory is updated annually removing pits that have been filled through watershed or wetland restorations by Rainwater Basin Joint Venture conservation partners. Irrigation reuse pits are remnant structures associated with gravity irrigation. Center pivot irrigation has largely replaced gravity irrigation in the region but, the irrigation reuse pits that remain in the watersheds of Rainwater Basin wetlands intercept rainfall that would otherwise runoff to the wetland. Concentration pits are structurally similar to irrigation reuse pits but were constructed within the wetland to concentrate water and open portions...
