Data from: Human population growth and accessibility from cities shape rangeland condition in the American West

Compiled data utilized to run model parameters for Requena-Mullor et al. 2023. These data lead to the following conclusions:
    • Human population growth contributes to the decline of sagebrush-steppe rangelands.
    • More accessible rangelands from population centers have higher quality.
    • Open space preservation provides opportunities for rangeland conservation in cities.
    • Coordinated conservation strategies are necessary to protect rangeland ecosystems.
