Sagebrush Obligate Birds Annual Herbaceous Matrix [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
We developed spatial overlays (i.e., "threat matrices") by combining spatial models of threats (30-m x 30-m pixels) with multispecies cores for sagebrush obligate bird abundance (1-mi2 hexagons). Spatial information was retained in the overlays for three categories of bird core areas (70, 50, and 25%) in the No to Low category of threat classification, and for the 70% bird core area (inclusive of the 50% and 25% cores) for the highest three categories of threat classification (No to Low, Moderate, High, and Very High). For the WGA Annual Herbaceous layer, the four categories were 0-10, 11-25, 26-50, and > 50% cover.File-based data for download: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/61e5974cd34e8079b655bcf7
