Abstract:

This data publication contains raster spatial data (GeoTIFF) of the dominant sagebrush association in the Great Basin region of the western United States, which includes portions of Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. These data were created by 1) overlaying LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Type, Biophysical Setting, and Mapping Zone data layers; 2) extracting vegetation plot data from the LANDFIRE 2016 LF Reference Database for each combination; and 3) identifying the associated sagebrush, grass, shrub, and tree species. These data represent conditions from 2016-2022.
