Predicted suitability for EUNIS habitat types

by Stephan Hennekens

The modelled suitability for the EUNIS habitat types is an indication of where conditions are favourable for each habitat type based on classified sample plot data (European Vegetation Archive), predictors and the Maxent software package. 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 repre ...(continue reading)

The modelled suitability for the EUNIS habitat types is an indication of where conditions are favourable for each habitat type based on classified sample plot data (European Vegetation Archive), predictors and the Maxent software package. 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 two time periods models have been created, 2010-2014 and 2015-2015. 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. The available datasets comprise on the in-situ (plot observation) data of the various the various EUNIS habitat types and the various predictors: climate data, soil data, topographic data, population density and RS-EBVs like Phenology, LAI. LULC, NPP, Inundation. Some predictors are represented by two versions, one for the period 2010-2014 and one for 2015-2019.
