A data frame of the predictors used in the eBird Status and Trends models. These include effort variables (e.g. distance traveled, number of observers, etc.) in addition to variables describing the environment (e.g. elevation, land cover, water cover, etc.). The environmental variables are derived by summarizing remotely sensed datasets (described in ebirdst_predictor_descriptions) over a 3 km diameter neighborhood around each checklist. For categorical datasets, two variables are generated for each class describing the percent cover (pland) and edge density (ed).
