Description:
This data set represents greater sage-grouse populations to be used in work for the USFWS 2015 Status Review for the greater sage-grouse. Boundaries taken from BLM/WAFWA revised population boundaries (‘COT_SG_Populations_2014_WAFWA_UT’ data layer). The original data layer was slightly modified for the USFWS 2015 Status Review. Modifications include dissolving populations across State boundaries and merging several polygons together. Three additional polygons were added to the data set including two polygons in Utah and one polygon in Canada. These additional polygons were added from the original WAFWA Sage-Grouse Populations layer. This data set provides population base data needed for USFWS analysis while remaining consistent with work being done by BLM and other agencies/groups. More detailed information on modifications can be found in the Supplemental Information.
