Model and Dataset: From Theory to Action: Using Connectivity to Inform Adaptive Grazing in Drylands

This single record is the complete research compendium (code + author-generated data) for the manuscript 'From Theory to Action: Using Connectivity to Inform Adaptive Grazing in Drylands' submitted to Earth’s Future on eco-geomorphic dynamics, grazing strategies and climate-driven variability. Contents• Codes/ — MATLAB analysis & plotting scripts (C1 to C8).• Model/ — model implementation and configuration files.• Model Input Data/ — only author-derived inputs; external/third-party inputs are not redistributed (see note below).• Model Output Data/ — figure-ready outputs used directly in the plots.• Network Output Data/ — computed network metrics used in figures.• Figures/ — optional exported images for reference.• README.md — full instructions, figure manifest, licensing, and reproduction steps. Reproducibility• Tested with MATLAB 2024 (base MATLAB; **no additional toolboxes**).• Every manuscript figure is mapped to the exact script and input files inside README.md.• No private resources or external repositories are required. Third-party inputs• External datasets (e.g., NOAA U.S. Climate Divisions) are not redistributed here. Access information and formal citations are provided in the manuscript; author-generated derivatives needed for figures are included. Licensing• Code (Codes/, Model/): MIT.• Data (Model Output Data/, Network Output Data/): CC BY 4.0.• This record mixes code and data; the per-folder licenses above govern reuse. Versioning & integrity• Version v1.0.0; any corrections will be released as new versions.All materials are provided to meet AGU’s Open Research expectations.
