Description
Abstract The geodatabase is one of ten that – together with several supplementary geodatabases, a web map viewer, and a data dictionary – compose the Data Atlas (Atlas) component of the 2020 New Mexico Forest Action Plan (Forest Action Plan). It contains the data for Habitat for terrestrial, aerial, and aquatic animals, and plants are valued for the biodiversity they sustain. This model maps the value provided by our forests to plants, animals and biodiversity.Integrated into the Atlas in 2019-2020 with wall-to-wall coverage across all jurisdictions in New Mexico, these data serve to guide the implementation of natural resource management strategies in New Mexico by the Forestry Division and its collaborators in accord with the Forest Action Plan. The data in the ten primary geodatabases characterize the spatial distribution and condition of forest and other natural resources (or, assets) valued by New Mexicans, major threat factors (or, hazards), and risk indices characterizing the susceptibility of resources to applicable threats. The data were prepared for use in spatial prioritization of resource protection and restoration strategies over 2020 – 2030 by the Forestry Division and its partners. Under direction of the New Mexico Forest and Watershed Health Coordinating Group (NMFWHCG), the Assessment was structured for spatial risk analysis by (a) grouping resource data into eight “themes” in accord with common beneficiaries and similarities in mapping approach, and (b) in preparing data for six major threat factors:Resource themes:Water Quality and Supply Wildland Communities Recreation and Cultural Use Timber and GrazingCarbon Sequestration and StorageBiodiversity Indigenous and Traditional Use Urban Forests and CommunitiesThreat factors:WildfirePost-wildfire Flooding, Erosion and Debris Flow Disease and InsectsClimate ChangeDevelopment and FragmentationUse and Forest Management ActivitiesBiodiversity Feature Classes• Aquatic CHAT SERI• Aquatic COA• Aquatic CritHab• Aquatic CritHab Line• COA• Connectivity LCC Bear• Connectivity LCC Elk• Connectivity LCC Lpc• Connectivity LCC Max• Connectivity LCC Maz riskHumMod• Connectivity LCC Pronghorn• Connectivity LCC Sheep• Connectivity LCC Sum• Connectivity Omni ImportPreserve• Connectivity Omni ImportPreserve_riskHumMod• Naturalness• Naturalness_riskHumMod• RiparianCorridors• Terrestrial_BatUse• Terrestiral_CHAT_SERI• Terrestrial_CHAT_SOC• Terrestrial_COA• Terrestrial_CritHab• Terrestial_IBA• Terrestrial_IPAEach dataset’s membership in a resource or threat category is indicated by its file name (e.g., debris flow, which falls under the Post-wildfire Flooding, Erosion, and Debris Flow threat factor, is denoted as “NMFAP2020_Threat_Postfire_DebrisFlow”). Datasets for risk indices are named first by the affected resource, then with the word “risk” followed by the applicable threat (e.g., “NMFAP2020_Theme_Water_IrrigatorsAF_Surface_riskWildfire” is the index of risk from wildfire to acre-feet of surface water accessible to irrigators). In integrating the best available statewide spatial data for the Assessment, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) relied on contributions from a range of partner agencies, organizations, and individual researchers. Scope and detail of written documentation varied by source and dataset. In a few cases, understanding of data and confidence in their inclusion in the Assessment was assured through personal communication with the originators and/or discursive review by subject matter experts on technical panels convened around the resource themes. Metadata provided in the Atlas are written to conform to the information set exposed in the Item Description style of the ArcGIS Metadata format. Beyond this baseline, links to external references are provided whenever appropriate. If additional information on a dataset is sought beyond what is detailed in the Atlas and Assessment narrative, please contact the responsible entity or entities listed under the Credits metadata header for that item. Most of the raster data provided are 30 meter or coarser in resolution and are intended to guide prioritization of areas considered at scales generally no larger (i.e., no finer) than 1:100,000.
Purpose This geodatabase was created to guide the implementation of natural resource management strategies in New Mexico under the 2020 New Mexico Forest Action Plan by the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, Forestry Division (Forestry Division) and its partners. It contains the data for Habitat for terrestrial, aerial, and aquatic animals, and plants are valued for the biodiversity they sustain. This model maps the value provided by our forests to plants, animals and biodiversity.

Description NMFAP2020: Theme: Biodiversity
Data Set Credit The Data Atlas was developed by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) on behalf of the Forestry Division. In readying the Atlas, TNC’s degree of curation varied by dataset. This has been characterized in each dataset’s metadata at one of three levels:: 1/ Source data incorporated into the Atlas received the minimum review and geoprocessing required to both accurately cite originators and to maintain consistency of format and spatial extent throughout the Atlas (e.g., re-projection into ‘NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_13N’, conversion to raster / feature class formats, snapping and masking / clipping to a common registration raster, reducing attributes to those described locally). 2/ Source data prepared for the Atlas underwent additional moderate manipulation as required to best serve their utility under the Atlas (e.g., merging of similar data from different source agencies, summarization, resampling, rescaling, reclassification). 3/ Datasets developed for the Atlas were initiated and executed by The Nature Conservancy during its formulation of the Assessment. Irrespective of TNC’s role in specific data lineages, citations are provided for directly antecedent source data.
