High resolution shrub cover raster maps of the Jornada Basin LTER, including JER and CDRRC (2011)

This data package contains two raster shrub cover maps of the Jornada
Experimental Range and Chihuahuan Desert Rangeland Research Center
(CDRRC) created using 1m resolution National Agriculture Imagery
Program (NAIP) aerial photo acquired in 2011. A one-meter resolution
raster file lists cover as non-shrub, shrub, or no data available. A
hectare resolution raster file contains fractional shrub cover values
(0-1) calculed from the 1 meter raster.

NOTE: There is currently a hole in the coverage of the
hectare raster (no-data values) in the "scarplet" region in
the southeastern portion of the Jornada Basin. The creators of the
dataset plan to fill this missing area of coverage in a future update
to the data package once suitable imagery of the area is
acquired.
