	All_Datums.csv:
	Summarizes all data provided by graduate students Graham Frye and Marcella Tarantino on their data collection in a specific datum/projection, used to create and extract data from shapefiles 			
		Header Key:
			SITE: Name of study area where data were collected.		
			PATCH: Patch name (unique identifier where data were collected).		
			SPECIES: Species of sagebrush present within the patch and/or collected at the patch.		
			CANOPY_COVER: Canopy cover measured as a proportion following gap-intercept methods from Canfield et al. 1941.		
			CANOPY_COVER_%: Canopy cover measured as a percentage following gap-intercept methods from Canfield et al. 1941.		
			DENSITY (plants/sq.m): Density of sagebrush plants (live) measured along a 1-m belt transect at each patch, measured as sagebrush plants/square meter.		
			HEIGHT: Average height of sagebrush plants intersecting the gap-intercept transect at the patch, measured in cm.		
			Use: Categorical assessment of patch use (used or random).		
			datum: Spatial datum original field data were collected in.		
			zone: Spatial zone original field data were collected in.		
			easting: UTM easting value		
			northing: UTM northing value		
			LANDFIRE Cover Output: Cover output extracted from LANDFIRE layer, as extracted.		
			LANDFIRE Cover (%): Cover outpout extracted from LANDFIRE layer, converted to a percentage using the LANDFIRE metadata.		
			Field Cover within 10% Bin?: Yes or no categorical assessment of if LANDFIRE % cover is within 10% of the field-measured percent cover.		
			LANDFIRE Height Output: Shrub height output extracted from LANDFIRE layer, as extracted.		
			LANDFIRE Height (cm): Shrub heigh outpout extracted from LANDFIRE layer, converted to cm tall using the LANDFIRE metadata.		
			Comments: Additional information from patch data.		
			SHRUB_Height_Correct?: Assessment if shrub height data extracted from LANDFIRE matched the shrub height "bin" that field-measured data would fall into.
