A 25m resolution grid of mean annual vapour pressure deficit derived from the Land Environment New Zealand underlying climate dataset at an original resolution of 100m. This grid was resampled to 25m by bilinear interpolation to have visually compatible resolution to other data sets being used in modelling of ECR BASE carrying capacity. For use with both...

A 25m resolution slope grid, derived from a digital elevation model (DEM) clipped from Landcare Research's national 25m DEM for use as a regression variable for calculating ECR BASE carrying capacity. For use with Model 2..

Soil temperature surfaces for the South Island of New Zealand are based on analysis of a combination of monthly mean soil temperature data from the NIWA (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research) 3 years data from 175 mini-data-loggers (1997-2000) laid out in a stratified sampling scheme at 7 climatically representative locations in the South...

This layer provides a transformation of environmental layer to best predict fern compositional turnover. Generalized Dissimilarity Modelling was used to produce a model of biotic composition in relationship to environment and biogeography. This model was used to transform and scale environmental layers to predict community composition. These transformed...

The soil inventory survey of Wallace County, Southland was mapped at 1:50,000 scale and covers approximately 700,000 hectares of a total of 965,600 hectares. Within 6 physiographic regions, soils have been separated by differences in morphology, drainage and parent materials into 132 soil mapping units. Soils have been correlated to South Island soil sets...
