High Intensity Land-use Overlap Colorado Plateau

Description

This dataset represents the spatial overlap in areas with present (cropland, grazing, and recreation), potential (petroleum resources), or projected future (population) high-intensity land-use. The final areas designated as high-intensity land-use represent high intensity relative to the range of values for that variable in this region, either present or future, and do not represent the rate of change, recent or future, for that particular variable. We defined high-intensity areas as ≥75% quantile for that variable over the entire Colorado Plateau. We combined grazing and cropland high-intensity area into one “high agriculture” variable. Each band represents a unique overlap between the land-use types.
