NZEnvDS_Geomorphons v1.0

New Zealand Environmental Data Stack (NZEnvDS) comprises a set of 72 spatial layers for environmental modelling and site characterisation. NZEnvDS includes the layers that informed the Land Environments of New Zealand (LENZ), additional layers generated for LENZ that were never publicly released, and additional layers generated since, all covering mainland New Zealand and surrounding inshore islands. The original/top copy of the dataset is available at (doi.org/10.7931/m6rm-vz40), but the layers are reproduced here for ease of access. See (newzealandecology.org/nzje/3440/) for a publication describing NZEnvDS. Generating using a geomorphon algorithm, which uses pattern recognition concepts to classify terrain based on a DEM. Individual pixels are allocated to one of the following 10 values:

1. flat
2. summit
3. ridge
4. shoulder
5. spur
6. slope
7. hollow
8. footslope
9. valley
10. depression.

Generated using r.geomorphon (Jasiewicz et al. 2013; Jasiewicz & Stepinski 2013) in GRASS GIS (Neteler et al. 2012). The NZEnvDS variable “elevation” was used as the DEM input.
