GIS of the HDSS generates spatial data: geo-coordinates of each bari (group of households that share a common yard and whose heads are usually related by blood) and land marks (tube-wells, health facilities, schools, markets, mosques and temples) in degree decimal format.
Taxa, collection codes with sample sizes within parentheses for samples we collected, locations (degree decimals and geopolitical units) and geographic regions (with abbreviations in parentheses) of the samples evaluated using ITS (nDNA), trn D- trn T and trn H (cpDNA) markers.
Co-ordinates were recorded as degrees and decimal minutes, to 3 decimal places.
Clustering of disability degrees at decimal numbers may therefore also reflect rules of thumb that case workers use in the assessment of disability degrees.
For this reason, horizontal units are in decimal degrees, whereas surface heights are in meters.
First two columns contain longitude and latitude for the north-west corner a cell in decimal degrees.
All data are in shapefile or Geotiff format, in decimal degrees unit, WGS 84 Ellipsoid and WGS84 datum (Additional file 4).
In order to still achieve the calculation of slopes between the single grid cells, decimal degrees need to be converted to meters.
For all field measurements, see Additional file 1: Table SI-1 SAT saturation (overload) of the detector, °dec coordinates in decimal degrees.
Each household was geo-referenced, at a level of accuracy of 3 m, using a hand-held Global Positioning System (GPS) with coordinates taken in the WGS 84 geographical coordinate system in decimal degrees.
