Mapping Social-Ecological System boundaries in Idaho landscapes (download)

All GIS layers: ‘OBJECTID’ corresponds to 5km analysis grid ID

SES composite layers: ‘COMPOSITE’ corresponds to the combined biophysical and socioeconomic landscape classification, representing an Social-Ecological System (SES) zone
