Purpose

Land-use information tied to analysis of land-use and aridity increase for the Colorado Plateau. Users of this dataset should cite original sources as indicated in the description and the publication in Ecosphere: Copeland, S. M., J. B. Bradford, M. C. Duniway, and R. M. Schuster. 2017. Potential impacts of overlapping land-use and climate in a sensitive dryland: a case study of the Colorado Plateau, USA. Ecosphere 8(5):e01823.10.1002/ecs2.1823
