Historical land use/land cover for 2005. Spatial and temporal distributions of current and projected land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes are essential in modeling future potential carbon storage and fluxes within the nation's major ecological regions (Zhu and others, 2010). Annual raster-based maps of future LULC conditions for the years 2006 to 2100 were created based on historical LULC conditions combined with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (IPCC-SRES) scenario elements to develop four distinct, equally plausible outcomes. The historical LULC baseline conditions were derived from 1.) a modified version of the 1992 National Land Cover Dataset (http://www.epa.gov/mrlc/nlcd.html),...

The Forests to Faucets project uses a GIS to model and map the land areas across the United States that are most important to surface drinking water sources, as well as to identify forested areas important to the protection of drinking water and areas where drinking water supplies might be threatened by development, insects and diseases, and wildland fire. The results of this assessment provide information that can identify areas of interest for protecting surface drinking water quality. The spatial dataset can be ncorporated into broad-scale planning and can help identify areas for further local analysis. In addition it can be incorporated into existing decision support tools that currently lack spatial data on...

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...
Meeting notes from the Green River Basin LCD Oversight Team meeting held on November 24, 2015.
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....

The data are classified into descriptive categories for general analytic and cartographic purposes. 99 = Commercial/Industrial 4 = <0.25 acres/unit = "urban" 3 = 0.25 to 2 acres/unit = "suburban" 2 = 2 to 40 acres/unit = "exurban" 1 = >40 acres/unit = "rural Climate and land-use change are major components of global environmental change with feedbacks between these components. The consequences of these interactions show that land use may exacerbate or alleviate climate change effects. Based on these findings it is important to use land-use scenarios that are consistent with the specific assumptions underlying climate-change scenarios. The Integrated Climate and Land-Use Scenarios (ICLUS) project developed land-use...

Modified NLCD classifications. 1=Developed (2), 50=Mechanically Disturbed (3,4,5), 101=Agriculture (13,14). All other values converted to "0" Data originally from CONUS_Historical_2005 developed by USGS (LULC and Carbon projections)

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...
