Greater Short-horned Lizard Habitat

Greater short-horned lizard habitat dataset. Polygons were delineated based on observations from relevant databases in Alberta and suitable habitat (i.e., coulees, bearpaw shale dunes) with a 200m setback from the edge, as per the approved setback. Habitat Suitability Indices, Resource Selection Functions, and Ortho imagery were also consulted. Once a polygon was modified, its border was smoothed.
