Summary
This dataset was developed to model habitat suitability for axis deer on the island of Lanai. Model parameters include: cloud cover at 1400 HST, ground surface slope, mean annual precipitation, NDVI, elevation, and bare soil. Datasets and indices derived for use in modeling efforts, as well as the suitability model developed for mouflon sheep, are included within this data release.

The suitability model was developed to serve as an input in land-use prioritization scenarios for the island of Lanai (USGS, in review). Data may also be used to understand habitat suitability for axis deer in other portions of Hawaii.
