Summary
This dataset was developed to model habitat suitability for two ungulate species on the island of Lanai. This includes raster data derived from WorldView-2 data to create a bare ground index. This index, in addition to other datasets, was used to create the habitat suitability models. Datasets and indices derived for use in modeling efforts, as well as suitability models, are included within this data release.

The bare ground index was derived from existing WorldView-2 imagery data as inputs for modeling ungulate habitat suitability on the island of Lanai. This index can be used to coarsely assess exposed ground cover on Lanai; imagery was collected in 2011 and these data do not reflect land-use changes that have occurred since.
