Description: This product is a continuous surface of predicted % cover cheatgrass, converted to occurrence of high cheatgrass (>15%) cover (categorical). Species: Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) Spatial extent: The hydrographic Great Basin; https://nhd.usgs.gov/ Spatial resolution: 250-m pixels Recentness: 2001–2016 (single average estimate of condition) Author-suggested use: A more rigorous field testing and training dataset was used compared to previous works. The relationship between percent cover of cheatgrass and fire frequency and seasonality, along with links to anthropogenic ignition sources, was assessed over a broader region than had previously developed models.
