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.
