Time series of circuit-based relative flow patterns for sagebrush structural connectivity from 1985 to 2020

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: July 16, 2025 | Last Modified: 20230605
This raster dataset quantifies the relative flow patterns of structural sagebrush connectivity in the sagebrush biome at 270-meter resolution. Connectivity was calculated using an omnidirectional circuit-based algorithm, with sources, targets, and conductance based on sagebrush fractional component from the RCMAP sagebrush products for 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. Normalized cumulative current density was used to represent relative flow of connectivity and binned into 3 relative flow classes (impeded, diffuse, and channelized flow). We calculated the relative flow temporal trends for channelization and impedance between 1985 and 2020 to identify areas that were becoming more channelized or more impeded over time.
