National Resources Inventory Rangeland Resource Assessment
This page contains links to downloadable Geographic Information System (GIS) files used in the Rangeland Resource Assessment. The tabular field attributes contain value ranges that represent estimated percent acres. All interpretations of data require an understanding of NRI inventory and sampling procedures, statistical estimation procedures, and margins of error. We strongly advise reading all metadata included with these layers, taking particular note of any cautions, usage constraints and distribution liability, prior to using these data.
