EnviroAtlas - Candidate Areas for Ecological Restoration for the Conterminous United States

Description

This EnviroAtlas dataset shows the candidate areas for ecological restoration, identified as close but geographically disjunct vegetated regions. Ecological restoration may become a more prominent means of environmental conservation in the future, and landscape context and connectivity are important emerging principles in ecological restoration science. We used morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) to identify candidate restoration areas based on their proximity to large vegetated regions. We then populated the candidate sites with 17 attributes related to site content (e.g., soil productivity) and site context (area of surrounding vegetated regions).
