Data and code for Freshwater corridors in the conterminous US: a coarse-filter approach based on lake-stream networks

Résumé fourni par la source

This repository contains various datasets used to map and analyze freshwater connectivity (i.e., corridors) in the conterminous US based on networks of lakes, streams and rivers. We considered lake-stream networks as analogous to habitat corridors. Hub lakes are individual lakes that are disproportionately important for maintaining intact networks. We also analyzed the protection status of freshwater connectivity using the US Protected Areas Database v. 2.0. R analysis scripts can also be found in this repository. Much of the data we used came from published or soon-to-be published sources, which are referenced below.
