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.

Generated as part of LENZ for the years 1950–1980 (Leathwick et al. 2002).

The precipitation layers weren’t originally included in LENZ but were generated as part of the project to create the LENZ vapour pressure deficit and annual water deficit layers.

These water balance layers were generated at close to the same time as the other LENZ layers, but weren’t included in the package.

A digital elevation model (DEM) indicating the elevation above sea level. This layer was generated by combining the New Zealand Digital Elevation Model (NZDEM; Barringer et al. 2002) tiles from the 25 m resolution North Island (Land Information New Zealand 2020c) and South Island (Land Information New Zealand 2020d) data sets, and resampling to the LENZ 100 m grid (Leathwick et al. 2002) using bilinear interpolation.
