Disk 2: Data
This disk contains the potential distribution models in ArcInfo Grid format that were developed
for this project plus some associated data. The main directories on the disk are listed below,
followed by more detailed information for each directory. The disk contains a number of
ReadMe.txt files that also describe the contents of important directories.

Location_data directory
The dBase files in this directory contain data for the known locations of the plant species
modeled for this project. The data come from the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
(WYNDD) (*-hpwy.dbf files) and the Rocky Mountain Herbarium (*-hrm.dbf files) and are
organized by the abbreviated name of each species.

Misc directory (miscellaneous files)
File

Description
metadata for potential distribution models (text file)
list of plant species that were modeled
detailed procedures for modeling the potential distribution of
plant species
reclassification tables (bedrock geology, biome, land cover, and
soil)
Models directory (potential distribution models)
This directory contains a subdirectory for each plant species that was modeled. The
subdirectories, which use the abbreviation for the species as the name, are ArcInfo workspaces
that contain the potential distribution model grid(s) and the point coverages that were used to
build and validate the models.
Summary_reports directory (summary reports for models)
The Microsoft Word documents in this directory are two page reports that summarize the
potential distribution models developed for each plant species that was modeled. The documents
are organized by the abbreviated names of the species.
