Summary

This is a continuous raster dataset identifying grasslands that are currently suitable for mottled duck nesting activities in the Western Gulf Coast. The identification process is based on key biological parameters such as patch size, land use type, distance to brood rearing habitat, etc. Additionally, this raster datasets presents the data in a form that prioritizes habitat from more suitable to less suitable based on landscape metrics.
