BLM Idaho Sage Grouse Habitat 2013: Key and Restoration Areas

2013 landscape-scale habitat data for greater sage-grouse in Idaho includes key habitat areas and four restoration types. The map incorporates wildfire data and edits from the 2013 field season, with an intended use scale of 1:100,000. This provisional dataset from the Department of the Interior covers all of Idaho and a small managed area in Nevada.

Use Cases

• General conservation planning based on key sage-grouse habitat areas.
• Prioritizing restoration efforts based on the four habitat restoration types (R1, R2, R3, RB).
• Tracking landscape-level habitat changes over time based on the annual update plan.
• Assessing wildfire impacts on habitat based on the incorporation of wildfire data.

Strengths

• Distinguishes between key habitat and four specific restoration potential types.
• Incorporates wildfire data and edits from the 2013 field season.
• Intended for use at a defined 1:100,000 scale.

Limitations

• Map extent is provisional, contingent on the final outcome of additional analyses.
• Data is intended for landscape-scale planning; finer-scale applications require additional verification.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
