With these data, we modeled the influence of environmental conditions and restoration treatments on trends in sagebrush cover using generalized additive models. We then used these models to create maps of projected sagebrush cover 30 years following wildfire (no treatment, and aerial or drill seeding of sagebrush). We also provide maps for the probability of recovery after 30 years without treatment, with aerial seeding of sagebrush, or with drill seeding of sagebrush.\nWidespread degradation of ecosystem function and biodiversity loss has led to calls for massive investments in ecological restoration across the globe, but limited resources necessitate targeted application of restoration efforts. In western North America, disturbances such as wildfire, drought, and invasive species are increasingly altering the sagebrush biome, degrading habitat for species of conservation concern such as greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). Effective restoration is needed to address these challenges, but understanding the conditions determining when, where, and at what rate sagebrush recovery will occur is a pressing research need across the vast and heterogeneous sagebrush landscape. \nFiles included in this data release:\nsage_dat_release.csv \u2013 compiled and formatted multiple treatment and environmental datasets spanning broad spatio-temporal extents\nsagebrush_notreat.tif \u2013 projected sagebrush cover 30 years following wildfire given local environmental conditions, without treatment\nsagebrush_notreat_sd.tif \u2013 error (summarized across simulations) in projected sagebrush cover 30 years following wildfire given local environmental conditions, without treatment\nperc_change_sage_aerial_artemisia.tif \u2013 projected change in sagebrush cover (relative to no treatment) 30 years following wildfire given local environmental conditions, with aerial seeding Artemisia spp.\nperc_change_sage_aerial_artemisia_sd.tif \u2013 error (summarized across simulations) in projected change in sagebrush cover (relative to no treatment) 30 years following wildfire given local environmental conditions, with aerial seeding Artemisia spp.\nperc_change_sage_drill_artemisia.tif \u2013 projected change in sagebrush cover (relative to no treatment) 30 years following wildfire given local environmental conditions, with drill seeding Artemisia spp.\nperc_change_sage_drill_artemisia_sd.tif \u2013 error (summarized across simulations) in projected change in sagebrush cover (relative to no treatment) 30 years following wildfire given local environmental conditions, with drill seeding Artemisia spp.\nprob_recovery_notreat.tif \u2013 probability of recovery 30 years after wildfire, without treatment\nprob_recovery_aerial_artemisia.tif \u2013 probability of recovery 30 years after wildfire, with aerial seeding Artemisia spp.\nprob_recovery_drill_artemisia.tif \u2013 probability of recovery 30 years after wildfire, with drill seeding Artemisia spp.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P13HMGUZ", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.65957abfd34e3265ab152e15.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_65957abfd34e3265ab152e15", "keyword": ["California", "Colorado", "Great Basin", "Idaho", "Montana", "Nevada", "Oregon", "USGS:65957abfd34e3265ab152e15", "United States", "Washington", "Wyoming", "biota", "ecosystem resilience", "fires", "habitat alteration and disturbance", "long-term ecological monitoring", "plants (organisms)", "remediation", "remote sensing", "soil moisture"], "modified": "2024-09-05T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-119.7143, 34.9814, -102.6036, 50.8422", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Sagebrush recovery projections across the biome, 30 years after two seeding treatment applications, and associated model data (1986-2021)"}
