Version DOI Comment Publication Date
3 10.13012/B2IDB-0160590_V3 Correction of how townships (updated to township-ranges) are calculated. Previous datasets use political townships, while these updated datasets use the U.S. Public Land Survey System (PLSS) township-ranges, which are more uniform in size and stable in their spatial extent. 2025-03-20
2 10.13012/B2IDB-0160590_V2 Provided the annual data for all spatial levels and years, in addition to more metadata and file options. 2025-03-06

Dataset update: {"description"=>["This dataset contains white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) land cover utility score (deer LCU score) data for every TRS (township, range, and section), township-range, and county in Illinois, USA, based on annual National Land Cover Database (NLCD) data released for all years between 2000 and 2023. LCU data is provided in CSV files for each spatial scale, with TRS data split into 2 CSV files due to size limits. Rasters (TIF) showing all deer habitat in Illinois are also provided to show the location, quality, and quantity of deer habitat. A metadata file is also included for additional information. \r\n\r\n\r\nThe file is an Excel spreadsheet with a metadata sheet, separate sheets for the deer LCU scores for each spatial level, and a sheet with the data required to replicate how the deer LCU score approach was validated. The deer LCU score is a unitless value, with larger scores corresponding to a spatial unit with more and/or better deer habitat.\r\n\r\n* New in this V2: The National Land Cover Database (NLCD) released land cover data for every year, rather than every 2-3 years like the previous deer LCU metrics were based on, so updated datasets are provided for the annual data for all spatial levels and years. In addition, more metadata and file options are provided in this version.", "This dataset contains white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) land cover utility score (deer LCU score) data for every TRS (township, range, and section), township-range, and county in Illinois, USA, based on annual National Land Cover Database (NLCD) data released for all years between 2000 and 2023.
