Service Description:

We prioritized among examples of the same setting using two categories of physical characteristics that increase resilience. The first, landscape diversity, refers to the number of microhabitats and climatic gradients available within a given area. Landscape diversity is measured by counting the variety of landforms, the elevation range, wetland score, and soil diversity. Because topographic diversity buffers against climatic effects, the persistence of most species within a given area increases in landscapes with a wide variety of microclimates. Local connectedness, the second factor, is defined as the number of barriers and the degree of fragmentation within a landscape. A highly permeable landscape promotes resilience by facilitating range shifts and the reorganization of communities.

Resilience Stratified by setting and ecoregion is a 30 meter grid that combines landscape diversity and local connectedness, stratifies the scores by setting and ecoregion, and then applies a regional override (to ensure that a good site isn't penalized by the stratification).
