Rangeland Hydrology Erosion Model (RHEM) Input and Output Files

The Rangeland Hydrologic Erosion Model (RHEM) is an online model developed by the United States Department of Agriculture that is used to predict erosion and runoff in rangelands. The model was used to determine runoff and erosion predicitions for five different scenarios in the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument. The five scenarios that RHEM was used to look at in the monument include current conditions as of 2016; climate variability; scrub encroachment; drought, heavy grazing, or land-use pressure; and vegetation removal. The inputs for each scenario were created using an R script and compiled into separate csv files. For the purpose of this data release, the five csv files were then compiled into one major input csv [...]
