To map the baseline distribution of sagebrush steppe, we included all sagebrush LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Types (EVT) except for mountain big sagebrush, which is included in the foothill shrublands and woodlands community. We also included adjacent, low elevation (less than 2,600 m) grassland areas, which include postfire sagebrush steppe classified as grasslands and prairie grasslands that occur within the project buffer. All grassland EVT cells within a 210m radius buffer that were dominated by sagebrush steppe were included in the sagebrush steppe community. These data are provided by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) "as is" and may contain errors or omissions. The User assumes the entire risk associated with...
General habitat model for golden eagles using MaxEnt software, Phillips and others, 2006. Values of vegetation and abiotic variables at 218 mapped golden eagle locations, with nest locations provided by Colorado Natural Heritage Program, Idaho Fish and Wildlife Information System, Montana Natural Heritage Program, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, Utah Natural Heritage Program, and the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, since 1990 were derived from data from SAGEMAP, Hanser and others, 2011, Homer and others, 2012, USGS, and WorldClim. Variables with the greatest weight included slope, topographic ruggedness, herbaceous cover, elevation, and annual mean temperature. The map of potential golden eagle habitat was...

Developed a general habitat model for pygmy rabbits using MaxEnt software, Phillips and others, 2006. Values of vegetation and abiotic variables at 3,066 mapped pygmy rabbit locations, provided by Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, since 1990 were derived from data from SAGEMAP, Hanser and others, 2011, Homer and others, 2012, USGS, and WorldClim. Variables with the greatest weight included the average temperature of the coldest quarter, sagebrush cover, annual mean temperature, and the percent of sand in the soil. The map of potential pygmy rabbit habitat was based on MaxEnt parameter values that included 95 percent of the locations; omission rate of 5 percent. For additional details see the Wyoming Basin Rapid...
To map the baseline distribution of foothill shrublands and woodlands, we included LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Types, EVT, corresponding to mountain big sagebrush , mountain shrublands, which are predominantly mountain mahogany and scrub oak, ponderosa pine savannahs, and juniper woodlands. We also included the foothill aspen functional type, see Ch15_Fig2_Aspen_Distribution, and grassland EVT cells between 2,600 m and 2,900 m. For additional details see the Wyoming Basin Rapid Ecoregional Assessment Open File Report Appendix.

General habitat model for Brewer's sparrow using repeat visit survey data collected in Wyoming as part of the Integrated Monitoring in Bird Conservation Regions program, White and others, 2013, between 2009 and 2012. A suite of occupancy modles with different environmental covariates were evaluated using program MARK, White and Burnham, 1999, and the top model for each species was used to model the breeding distribution. The map of suitable habitat was based on parameter values that included 90 percent of the locations; omission rate of 10 percent. This omission rate minimized commission errors based on a comparison with independent datasets from Idaho Fish and Game, Montana Natural Heritage Program, Utah Natural...
General habitat model for ferruginous hawks using MaxEnt software, Phillips and others, 2006. Values of vegetation and abiotic variables at 598 mapped ferruginous hawk locations, with nests and observations of individual birds provided by Colorado Natural Heritage Program, Idaho Fish and Wildlife Information System, Montana Natural Heritage Program, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, Utah Natural Heritage Program, and the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, since 1990 were derived from data from SAGEMAP, Hanser and others, 2011, Homer and others, 2012, USGS, and WorldClim. Variables with the greatest weight included topographic ruggedness, elevation, the average temperature of the warmest quarter, and slope. The map...
To map the baseline distribution of riparian forest and shrublands, we all included LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Types (EVT) where the type contained the word "riparian", "woodland", "ravine" and "swamp". We also included aspen woodlands at elevations below 1524 m using ReGAP values, as these areas, upon inspection were found to be introduced vegetation and not aspen.

Delineated two aspen functional types, foothill and mountain slope aspen. Foothill aspen occurs at lower elevations, typically less than 2,621 m, within a matrix of sagebrush and other shrubs. Mountain slope aspen occurs across broad elevations from the toe slope to upper subalpine zones, where it intermixes with conifer species. LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Types (EVT) includes two aspen EVT Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland and Intermountain Basin Aspen and Mixed Conifer Forest and Woodland, which overlapped broadly in elevation and were not sufficient for use in distinguishing aspen functional types. Proximity analysis was used to delineate the two functional types. Because higher elevation aspen typically...

To map the baseline distribution of desert shrublands, we included all associated LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Types (EVT). We also included adjacent, low elevation (less than 2,600 m) grassland areas, which include post fire desert shrublands classified as grasslands and prairie grasslands that occur within the project buffer. All grassland EVT cells within a 210 m buffer that were dominated by desert shrublands were included in the desert shrublands community.

The five needle pine (Limber and Whitebark) distribution was compiled from numerous data sources. The limber pine source distribution data compiled the Original Gap (ftp.gap.uidaho.edu) data (Note Utah does not have an explicit Limber pine class) and USDA Forest Service Individual Tree Species Parameter Maps (personal communication by Jim Ellenwood and Vern Thomas) as described at http://www.fs.fed.us/foresthealth/technology/remote_sensing.shtml. Limber pine (greater than 1 basal area). There is one large patch in SW Wyoming where original GAP data falsely identified limber pine (commission error) per Bob Means, BLM Wyoming State Forester. To address this commission error, these areas were replaced with ReGAP (codes...

To map the distribution of bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, and roundtail chub (three-species assemblage), we compiled occurrence information from Wyoming Game and Fish Department (streams, rivers, and lakes and reservoirs), Utah Natural Heritage Program (point locations), and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (6th-level watersheds). Due to the variety in the data types available, we summarized occurrence information by 6th-level watersheds, streams and lakes. The resulting distribution map was used to quantify baseline conditions for each species and the three-species assemblage overall. Point locations with rivers in Utah and occupied watersheds in Colorado, were assumed to represent occurrence along the full reach...
