Resources
Technical
Tools
Meeting
June 15, 2020
Setting the Stage
Purpose is to review existing tools and information
sources across landownerships to guide the
Prineville LIT work.
Tools and resources can be used for:
1.
Understanding where project work has occurred in
the past, across all agencies & jurisdictions
2.
Estimating the distribution and severity of threats
3.
Prioritizing where to work for best return on
investment
4.
Measuring success and adaptive management
Question 2:
Estimating the Distribution and
Severity of Threats
There are several vegetation maps available
See 
Overview of two major map sources:
Landscape Planning Tool
Southeast Oregon vegetation composition map
Many other data layers
Rangeland Analysis Platform
New maps just released
list
Threats Table and Technical Resources
Overview of the Landscape Planning Tool
SageCon Landscape Planning Tool

SageCon Landscape Planning Tool
Southeast Oregon vegetation composition map
Many vegetation indicators available
Primary indicators: ecostate, cover of perennial grass, invasive annual
grass, tree, sagebrush
Other indicators: cover of deep-rooted perennial grass, sage-grouse
preferred forbs, introduced seeded grasses, etc
Accuracy varies by indicator
Maps should not be used at very fine scales
SageCon Landscape Planning Tool
Southeast Oregon vegetation composition map
Many vegetation indicators available
Primary indicators: cover of perennial grass, invasive annual grass, tree,
sagebrush
Other indicators: cover of deep-rooted perennial grass, sage-grouse
preferred forbs, introduced seeded grasses, etc
Accuracy varies by indicator
Maps should not be used at very fine scales
Sage-grouse seasonal habitat (spring, summer, winter)
Habitat connectivity
Development impacts (direct and indirect)
Restoration potential
Theme scores – fire & invasives, biodiversity significance
Burn probability and previous fire perimeters
Rangeland Analysis Platform
Yearly maps from 1984-2019 of:
Perennial grass & forb cover
Annual grass & forb cover
Shrub cover
Tree cover
Bare ground cover

Threats Table and Technical Resources
Questions to the group:
What other data sets or information sources
have you used?
What other local datasets exist to address these
threats?
Next steps
Question 1:
Understanding where project work has
occurred in the past, across all
agencies & jurisdictions
Conservation Efforts Database (CED)
Conservation Efforts Database (CED)
https://conservationefforts.org/
Captures conservation actions to benefit the sagebrush ecosystem
across all partners and landownerships in 11 Western states
Conservation Efforts Database (CED)
https://conservationefforts.org/
Captures projects
across all agencies
and landownerships
Data call still ongoing
– all data expected
this summer
Private lands
reporting is by
Sagebrush Reporting
Unit (SRU) (red)
More detailed
reporting on private
lands available from
partners?
