CORIP: Riparian Corridor and Vegetation Data Files

The riparian vegetation dataset is distributed in a raster format, with a value of “0” corresponding to riparian vegetation absence and a value of “100” corresponding to riparian vegetation presence for a particular pixel (Figure 6). Valley bottom extents, which we have defined as a proxy for the spatial extent of the riparian zone, are distributed as polygons in shapefile format. Data files can be obtained for the entire Colorado River Basin or for each individual ecoregion based upon the user’s preference.
