Steps to reproduce

See method section of article. Individual datasets are integrated in a satellite data interpretation scheme to map unique, identifiable and repeatable patches of rangeland resource units on a landscape. Within this data interpretation scheme, GIS information layers are integrated with GPS photos in identifying plant functional types (PFT) of rangeland resource units.
