Abstract:
The data contained in this report was compiled, modified, and analyzed for the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) Integrated Assessment (IA). The WLCI is a long-term science based effort to assess and enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitats at a landscape scale in southwest Wyoming while facilitating responsible energy development through local collaboration and partnerships. The IA is an integrated synthesis and analysis of WLCI resource values based on best available data and information collected from multiple agencies and organizations. It is a support tool for landscape-scale conservation planning and evaluation, and a data and analysis resource that can be used for addressing specific management questions. The IA analysis was conducted using a Geographic Information System in a raster (that is, a grid) environment using a cell size of 30 meters. To facilitate the data in a regional context, mean values were summarized and displayed at the subwatershed unit (WLCI subwatersheds were subset from the National Hydrography Dataset, Hydrologic Unit Code 12/Level 6). A dynamic mapping platform, accessed via the WLCI webpage at <http://www.wlci.gov> is used to display the mapped information, and to access underlying resource values that were combined to produce the final mapped results. The raster data used in the IA is provided here for use by interested parties to conduct additional analyses and can be accessed via the WLCI webpage. This data series contains 74 spatial data sets: WLCI subwatersheds (vector) and 73 geotiffs (raster) that are segregated into the major categories of Multicriteria Index (including Resource Index and Condition), Change Agents, and Future Change. The Total Multicriteria Index is composed of the Aquatic Multicriteria Index and the Terrestrial Multicriteria Index. The Aquatic Multicriteria Index is composed of the Aquatic Resource Index and the Aquatic Condition. The Aquatic Resource Index is composed of the following components: Groundwater, Special Management Areas, and Priority Areas. The Aquatic Condition is composed of the following components: Focal Species, Species of Concern, Focal Ecosystems, and Proper Functioning Condition. The Terrestrial Multicriteria Index is composed of the Terrestrial Resource Index and the Terrestrial Condition. The Terrestrial Resource Index is composed of the following components: Special Management Areas, Agriculture, and Priority Areas. The Terrestrial Condition is composed of the following components: Focal Species, Big Game, Species of Concern, Rare Plants, and Focal Ecosystems. The Change Agents are composed the following components: Roads, Energy, Mines, and Urban. The Future Change is composed of the following components: Oil-Gas-Coal, Wind, Minerals, Climate-Temperature, Invasive Species, and Urban.
Purpose:
The data presented here will be used as a tool to support landscape-scale conservation planning and evaluation by the WLCI community.

Access_Constraints:
There are no access constraints for this data set. Please cite the data set when using this product.
Use_Constraints:
There are no use constraints for this data set. Please note that this data is designed to be used at a coarse scale. The WLCI is composed of multiple types of land ownership (including federal, state and private entities). This analysis is not intended to highlight private lands; however, all land ownership types were included since this is a landscape scale analysis in line with the mission of the WLCI. In addition, updates are made at irregular intervals by the agencies and organizations from which the data was collected. This product is considered a static data set and should be treated accordingly.

Process_Description:
The data were processed using the following procedure. Input data sets in a vector format were converted to a raster format (30 meters) and snapped to the USGS Integrated Assessment (IA) Master Raster template to ensure consistency. Input data sets in raster format with different resolutions were resampled and snapped to the Master Raster template. Presence/absence data (e.g. priority area) were scored 0, 1. Data sets that were already scored in some manner (e.g. Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) – Aquifer Prioritization) were rescaled so that scores ranged between 0-1.
