Fact sheets for Foundational Science Area: Helping People and Nature Adapt to Climate Change in the North Central U.S.
As part of a broader effort to increase the ability of federal agencies to understand and adapt to changes in climate variability and hazard profiles, the Colorado Bureau of Land Management has commissioned an on-going research effort to gather and analyze information on the potential climate-related vulnerabilities of the numerous communities and businesses that rely upon the state’s 8.4 million acres of BLM-managed public lands. In addition to a comprensive final report (Colorado Bureau of Land Management: Social Climate Vulnerability Assessment), the project team has produced th
Social Climate Vulnerability Assessment for Colorado Bureau of Land Management
As part of a broader effort to increase the ability of federal agencies to understand and adapt to changes
in climate variability and hazard profiles, the Colorado Bureau of Land Management has commissioned
an on-going research effort to gather and analyze information on the potential climate-related
vulnerabilities of the numerous communities and businesses that rely upon the state’s 8.4 million acres
of BLM-managed public lands. This report contains the initial findings of this project, and details work
Land use change and fragmentation of Badland Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWE) using LANDFIRE data
Fragmentation extent of six ecosystem types after European Settlement was analyzed using LANDFIRE data. The ecosystem types includes: Grassland, Shrubland, Conifer, Riparian, Hardwood and Sparse ecosystems. The land use change and fragmentation extents have been analyzed by delineating nine Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWEs) across NCCSC.
Land use change and fragmentation of Bighorn Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWE) using LANDFIRE data
Fragmentation extent of six ecosystem types after European Settlement was analyzed using LANDFIRE data. The ecosystem types includes: Grassland, Shrubland, Conifer, Riparian, Hardwood and Sparse ecosystems. The land use change and fragmentation extents have been analyzed by delineating nine Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWEs) across NCCSC.
Boundary of all Greater Wildland Ecosystems Combined
This is a combined shapefile of all Greater Widland Ecosystems. We first created shapefiles for each GWE using hydrological units, contiguous habitat, human influence (25 km buffer) taking into account of federal, private, and tribal lands. We then combined them.
Land use change and fragmentation of Fort Peck Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWE) using LANDFIRE data
Fragmentation extent of six ecosystem types after European Settlement was analyzed using LANDFIRE data. The ecosystem types includes: Grassland, Shrubland, Conifer, Riparian, Hardwood and Sparse ecosystems. The land use change and fragmentation extents have been analyzed by delineating nine Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWEs) across NCCSC.
Land use change and fragmentation of Grand River Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWE) using LANDFIRE data
Fragmentation extent of six ecosystem types after European Settlement was analyzed using LANDFIRE data. The ecosystem types includes: Grassland, Shrubland, Conifer, Riparian, Hardwood and Sparse ecosystems. The land use change and fragmentation extents have been analyzed by delineating nine Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWEs) across NCCSC.
Land use change and fragmentation of Great Sand Dunes Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWE) using LANDFIRE data
Fragmentation extent of six ecosystem types after European Settlement was analyzed using LANDFIRE data. The ecosystem types includes: Grassland, Shrubland, Conifer, Riparian, Hardwood and Sparse ecosystems. The land use change and fragmentation extents have been analyzed by delineating nine Greater Wildland Ecosystems (GWEs) across NCCSC.
