This is a model showing estimated habitat suitability for open land (grassland) species, or those that burrow, or prey on species that burrow. The model incorporates two factors: the relative abundance of non-woody cover types and the distance from high water.

This dataset represents the relative average amount of non-woody cover within 2 ha) of bottomland along the Colorado River from the Colorado state line (San Juan and Grand Counties, Utah) to the southern Canyonlands NP boundary, as of September 2010. Traditional image interpretation cues were used to develop the polygons, such as shape, size, pattern, tone, texture, color, and shadow, from high resolution, true color, aerial imagery (0.3m resolution), acquired for the project. Additional, public available aerial photos (NAIP, 2011) were used to cross-reference cover classes. As with any digital layer, this layer is a representation of what is actually occurring on the ground. Errors are inherent in any interpretation of ground qualities. Due to the "snapshot" nature of the aerial photos, this cover layer reflects conditions that existed when the imagery was collected (September, 2010). This mapping was conducted as part of the Colorado River Conservation Planning Project, a joint effort between the National Park Service, The Nature Conservancy, US Geological Survey, Bureau of Land Management, and Utah Forestry Fire and State Lands.

This is a model of the potential for natural recovery in vegetation communities of the Colorado River bottomland in Utah. The model incorporates the prevalence of native species, areas inundated in high flow conditions, and the prevalence of non-native species. See Open File Report, Rasmussen and Shafroth, Colorado River Conservation Planning for geoprocessing details.

This is a habitat suitability model for riparian overstory species in the Colorado River bottomland in Utah. The model incorporates the prevalence of trees, complexity of woody structure, quality of canopy, and tree patch size. See accompanying publication for data processing details.
