    <descript>
      <abstract>These environmental raster covariate, geospatial vector data, and tabular data were compiled as input data for the Automated Reference Toolset (ART) algorithm.</abstract>
      <purpose>The purpose of these data are to validate the Automated Reference Toolset process.</purpose>
      <supplinf>These data are a subset of all the environmetal raster covariate data used in the ART algorithm. Users are advised to read the mansuscript, associated with these data and identified as the larger work citation. It is recommended that data users contact the data set author if they have any questions about the development, processing, contribution, and use of these data in the Automated Reference Toolset.</supplinf>
