Natural sciences, Earth and related Environmental sciences, Social Sciences, Social and economic geography
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.
