W., S. T. Knick, M. A. Schroeder, and S. J. Stiver. 2004. Conservation assessment of Greater Sage-grouse and sagebrush habitats. Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Unpublished Report. Cheyenne, Wyoming. Online_Linkage: http:\\sagemap.wr.usgs.gov Description: Abstract: Boundary for floristic regions used for the conservation assessment of Greater Sage-grouse and sagebrush habitat conducted by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The floristic provinces were digitized from a figure from Miller, R. F., and L. Eddleman. 2001. Spatial and temporal changes of sage-grouse habitat in the sagebrush biome. Oregon State University, Agricultural Experiment Station. Technical Bulletin 151. Purpose: This coverage defines the floristic context in which a range-wide conservation assessment of the Greater Sage-grouse and sagebrush habitats was conducted. Defining the major floristic properties of areas occupied by the historical distribution of sage grouse permitted the comparison of differences relative to the habitat characterisics and detection of potential causes of population changes or extirpation.

Process_Step: Process_Description: To produce the floristic province boundaries, Rick Miller provided us with a scanned version of a hand drawn figure used for the publication, after he added region seven, which includes the silver sagebrush subdivision. We then used ArcToolbox to digitize the floristic provinces.
