LUC coefficient (model 2)
Manaaki Whenua – Landcare ResearchA 25m resolution grid based on Land Use Capability (LUC) class where LUC class numbers 1 to 8 have been substituted by regression coefficients. This grid is provided as a regression variable for calculating BASE carrying capacity for Mackenzie Basin high country leases (i.e. for use with Model 2).Created 3 May 2018 • Updated 3 March 2025 -
ecr_fmask
Manaaki Whenua – Landcare ResearchThis is a binary mask layer for the Earning Capacity Rental project - identifying all areas that by definition (forested or water body) will have BASE carrying capacity set to zero (0 SU/ha). All other areas are set to one (unity). The final BASE carrying capacity is derived by multiplying the result of the regression models by this binary mask leavibng...Created 3 May 2018 • Updated 3 March 2025 -
Christchurch 15m DEM
Manaaki Whenua – Landcare ResearchDigital Elevation Model of Christchurch New Zealand - a 15 metre resolution, floating point precision, elevation grid generated from the LINZ 1:50,000 scale Topographic data layers (20m contours, spot heights, lake shorelines and coastline) using Landcare Research's in-house interpolation.Created 3 May 2018 • Updated 3 March 2025 -
LUC coefficient (model 1)
Manaaki Whenua – Landcare ResearchA 25m resolution grid based on Land Use Capability class where class numbers 1 to 8 have been substituted by regression coefficients. This grid is provided as a regression variable for calculating BASE carrying capacity for ALL high country leases other than those in the Mackenzie basin (i.e. for use with Model 1).Created 3 May 2018 • Updated 3 March 2025 -
BASE Carrying Capacity (Model 1)
Manaaki Whenua – Landcare ResearchA 25m grid of BASE carrying capacity for ALL leases (original model for all lease properties). This layer is buffered around the lease boundaries supplied by LINZ by roughly 5km to ensure that it can be reused for analysis where property boundaries are found to be incorrectly mapped or out-of-date.Created 3 May 2018 • Updated 3 March 2025 -

Manaaki Whenua – Landcare ResearchThis image comes from the European Space Agency’s Copernicus Programme taken on 10 February at 11:25 NZDT. This before image was chosen to have a similar sun angle to the after image (https://lris.scinfo.org.nz/layer/497-kaikoura-after-earthquake-22nd-november-2016/ ), thus minimising differences due to illumination.

Threatened Environments Classification 2012
Manaaki Whenua – Landcare ResearchThis layer comes from the Threatened Environment Classification (TEC) version 2012, which is a source of national scale background information on New Zealand's land environments. Specifically, it shows how much native (indigenous) vegetation remains within land environments, and how past vegetation loss and legal protection are distributed across New...Created 3 May 2018 • Updated 3 March 2025 -
Sunshine hours 1981
Ministry for the EnvironmentSunshine is important for our health and recreation, and for the environment. It is also important for our agriculture-based economy, for example, for plant growth. This layer shows annual sunshine hours across New Zealand for 1981 as part of the data series for years 1972 to 2013. Data is for a calendar year (January-December).
