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 normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). This index, in addition to other datasets, was used to develop habitat suitability models for Axis deer and mouflon sheep. Datasets and indices derived for use in modeling efforts, as well as suitability models, are included within this data release.

Purpose

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