Description:
The modelled suitability for some of the EUNIS terrestrial habitat types is an indication of where conditions are favorable for each habitat type based on classified sample plot data European Vegetation Archive (EVA), predictors, and the Maxent software package (https://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/maxent/). The modelled suitability maps may be used as a proxy for the potential geographical distribution of the habitat types in giv ...(continue reading)
