Description
File-based data for download: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/632a1290d34e71c6d67b9061Related report with figures: https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20221081Location and extent of the human modification threat across the sagebrush biome in the United States for 2020. Blue areas (dark and light,representing core sagebrush areas [CSAs] and growth opportunity areas [GOAs], respectively) are locations of high sagebrush ecological integrityand could serve as anchor points in an overall biome-wide strategy. A separate, high-resolution portable document format (PDF) version of this mapis available at https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20221081 so that stakeholders can zoom in and see the results at much smaller scales. By zooming in, one cansee better that human modification threats are occurring at the edges of CSAs and GOAs and are not well represented at a range-wide extent.Human modifications to natural ecosystems, including landcover conversion for urban, agricultural, and energy development, also reduce SEI at local and landscape scales. Human modification to and land-use change of sagebrush ecosystems have altered or removed native vegetation cover over millions of acres (Reeves and others, 2018). Landcover conversion and modification of natural ecological processes across the ecosystem vary in extent and severity and include agriculture, urban development, resource extraction and energy development (for example, hard rock mining, and oil and gas drilling), and residential and industrial infrastructure (roads, transmission lines, railroads, and pipelines; table 2).
