Sagebrush Biome Conservation Anchors (Fig. 6) - Biome-wide sagebrush core habitat and growth areas estimated from a threat-based conservation design [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
File-based data for download: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/6328f759d34e71c6d67b7a40Related report with figures: https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20221081Identifying anchor points (that is, areas of spatial congruence) between core sagebrush areas (CSAs) and growth opportunity areas (GOAs) and existing (as of 2020) agency prioritizations within the sagebrush biome. Locations where core sagebrush areas and growth opportunity areas co-occur were mapped with at least one of the following designations: (a) Centrocercus urophasianus L. (greater sage-grouse) Priority Areas for Conservation (PACs), as used by State agencies and the National Resources Conservation Service; (b) Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMAs), as used by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service; and (c) Sagebrush Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) 50% Wildlife Population Cores for sagebrush obligate birds—greater sage-grouse, Spizella breweri (Cassin, 1856) (Brewer's sparrow), Artemisiospiza nevadensis (Ridgway, 1874) sagebrush sparrow), and Oreoscoptes montanus (J.K. Townsend, 1837) (sage thrasher)—as used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Additionally, the location of the areas with spatial congruence between plans which also had no to low threats for invasive annual grasses, human modification, and conifer woodlands expansion were identified. These areas represent anchor points for conservation delivery actions. Fed, Federal
