RSL_2024-01-04.tif \Data Georeferenced (GeoTIFF) raster file (and associated files) containing multiclass indicators of ecological resilience to characterize conditions in the southwestern U.S. drylands. The final spatial data layer is at a 1-kilometer (km) resolution and contains 10 levels of resilience. The multiclass values are ordinal, with the value 1 being least resilient, but the classes are not necessarily linear. Please note that the raster value is the resilience value.
RST_2024-01-04.tif \Data GeoTIFF raster file (and associated files) containing multiclass indicators of resistance to invasion by cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), to characterize conditions in the southwestern U.S. drylands for 1980-2019. The final spatial data layer is at a 1-km resolution and contains 10 levels of resistance. The multiclass values are ordinal, with the value 1 being least resistance, but the classes are not necessarily linear. Please note that the raster value is the resistance value.
RnR_Mapped_2024-09-13.tif \Supplements Tagged Image File format (TIFF) containing a formatted map of multiclass indicators of ecological resilience and resistance to invasion by cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), characterizing conditions in the southwestern U.S. drylands. (Useful for visualization of data without needing to import GeoTIFF to GIS software.)
