Predicted suitability for EUNIS habitat types (100m resolution) for EU27 countries

by Stephan Hennekens

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)

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 given environmental and climatic envelopes. Note however that the suitability is not representing the actual distribution of the habitat types. Currently for one time period (2010-2014) models have been created. For each period different versions for some of the predictors have been applied (LAI, LULC, Phenology, Population density). Climate, soil and topography predictors are the same for the two periods. In Maxent the models have been ran using the predictors for the second period for the future predictions.

The method of production of the original data.
Hover to see a suggestion for a minimum description. For the modelling Maxent software package version 3.4.4 version was used (https://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/maxent/). Observation data for each EUNIS habitat was selected from the European Vegetation Archive, EVA (http://euroveg.org/eva-database). As predictors climate data, soil data, topographic data, population density and RS-EBVs like Phenology, LAI. LULC, NPP and Inundation have been used for the modelling. Besides statistical output of the model two distribution maps for each habitat type are produced. One binary map based on “10 percentile training presence” and one fraction map with values running from 0 to 1.
The coverage content type describes the general content type of the resource (multiple selection possible).
