| Title | ebi300 | |||
| Abstract | This Environmental Benefits Index (EBI) is a score of multiple ecological benefits on a 0-300 scale, 300 being the most valuable from a conservation perspective. It combines a soil erosion risk layer, water quality risk layer, and a wildlife habitat quality layer all scored 100 points each. | |||
| Purpose | This layer was created with the intention to rank CRP and other critical lands on multiple ecological benefits simultaneously. | |||
