A 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).

Digital 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.

A 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).

A 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5km to ensure that it can be reused for analysis where property boundaries are found to be incorrectly mapped or out-of-date.

This 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...
