Data for evaluating ecosystem protection and fragmentation of the world's major mountain regions

<p>Data developed in support of the manuscript: evaluating ecosystem protection and fragmentation of the world's major mountain regions.</p><p>Major mountain regions and their file abbreviations include: Alb=Albertine Rift; Alp=Alps; And=Andes; EaR=Great Eastern Ranges; Him=Himalayas; and Y2Y: Yellowstone to Yukon.</p><p>Files:</p><p>GlobalMountain_ecosystems.zip - spatial dataset (TIFF)&nbsp;with unique integer values encoded as: (landform * 10000) + (biome ID * 100) + (climate region ID).</p><p>GlobalMountain_humanmod.zip -&nbsp;&nbsp;spatial dataset (TIFF)&nbsp;with values ranging 0.0 (not human modified) to 1.0 (human modified).</p><p>GlobalMountain_protectedareas.zip - spatial dataset (TIFF) with integer values of 1 representing protected areas (IUCN categories I-IV).</p><p>GlobalMountain_regions.zip - spatial datasets (shapefiles) of the regions with 0, 10, and 30 km buffer.</p><p>GlobalMountain_samples.zip - tabular datasets (*.csv) of random samples within each region containing variables on: protected area, human modification, distance from ecosystem edge, ecosystem ID.</p><p>Google Earth Engine code.</p>
