Coastal Marten Habitat Core Data for Landscape Connectivity Analysis

Packaged data layers include habitat cores greater than 300 hectares and cores between 300 and 1500 hectares, developed for a landscape connectivity analysis of the coastal marten (Martes caurina humboldtensis). The data is provided by the Department of the Interior and packaged in geodatabase and ArcGIS Pro Map Package formats. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-04.

Use Cases

• Model landscape connectivity based on habitat core size thresholds.
• Identify potential conservation areas based on habitat cores greater than 300 hectares.
• Analyze habitat fragmentation based on the distinction between small cores and primary model cores.
• Perform spatial analysis using the provided geodatabase or ArcGIS Pro map package.

Strengths

• Data includes habitat cores defined by specific size thresholds (300ha and 1500ha).
• Packaged in two formats (Geodatabase and ArcGIS Pro Map Package) for different user needs.
• Last updated date is explicitly provided (2026-03-04).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
