These data provided here are for the western Mogollon Plateau area only. Please contact us to receive a copy of the available data products on CD or DVD for the White Mountains region in eastern Arizona (GIS Data List) or the North-central New Mexico area (GIS Data List). Additional descriptions and maps of the available GIS data for these study areas can be found in their respective Data Atlas. These are downloadable from our documents web page under the "Major Reports" section.

These data layers are the property of the Forest Ecosystem Restoration Analysis (ForestERA) project, the Ecological Restoration Institute (ERI), and Northern Arizona University (NAU). They are provided free of charge to the public. However, we request that users carefully review the metadata provided with the layers and consult with the ForestERA project in advance of using these data in publications and/or presentations to ensure that the strengths and limitations of the data are considered.

Publications and presentations that include these data should acknowledge the ForestERA project. Citations for published manuscript that describe the creation and assessment of these layers are listed with their appropriate spatial layers and on the documents page. Remaining layers should be cited using the following references:
