Description: Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBV) are state variables
        with dimensions on time, space, and biological organization
        that document biodiversity change. Freely available ecosystem
        remote sensing products (ERSP) are downloaded and integrated
        with data for national or regional domains to derive indicators
        for EBV in the class ecosystem structure (Pereira et al., 2013)
        <doi:10.1126/science.1229931>, including horizontal ecosystem
        extents, fragmentation, and information-theory indices. To
        process ERSP, users must provide a polygon or geographic
        administrative data map. Downloadable ERSP include Global
        Surface Water (Peckel et al., 2016) <doi:10.1038/nature20584>,
        Forest Change (Hansen et al., 2013)
        <doi:10.1126/science.1244693>, and Continuous Tree Cover data
        (Sexton et al., 2013) <doi:10.1080/17538947.2013.786146>.
