Landscape variables informing selection and survival of Greater Sage-grouse nests and broods in the Bi-State region of California and Nevada

These data are the input tables for the habitat selection and survival models. The tables are the result of extracting values from rasters to both 'used' and 'available' locations; 'used' refers to an observation of a sage-grouse nesting or brood rearing, 'available' is a randomly-generated location proximal to a paired 'used' location. For these locations, we extract values from multiple rasters expressing landscape characteristics such as landcover (such as sagebrush, annual grass, or shrubs, expressed as a percentage), height of sagebrush, distance to water features, distance to anthropogenic features, and topographic transformations (such as slope, heat load index, and roughness). There are also some values in the table that are not the result of value extraction, but rather field-collection such as date, fate, and age (in days) of the nest or brood. Ultimately, the locations were removed from these tables as sage-grouse are considered to be a sensitive species.
