Sage-grouse habitat management categories within phase 1 Pinyon-Juniper expansion in Nevada and northeastern California, derived from 2016 and 2017 Raster Products

Description

This raster dataset depicts phase 1 pinyon-juniper expansion , where shrubs and herbs are the dominant vegetation and conifers occupy greater than zero percent to ten percent, intersecting documented sage-grouse habitat management categories (Coates et al., 2016a, Coates et al., 2016b).
