Maximum habitat suitability map of Carpinus betulus (2006, FISE, RDS-MHSv0-3-2)

QR code

This dataset series shows the Maximum Habitat Suitability (MHS, also known as survivability) map of Carpinus betulus (raster format: geotiff). The survivability map is provided for Europe (EU28 plus part of other countries within the spatial extent), computed using the FISE harmonised European dataset of taxa presence/absence (based on the integration and harmonisation of the datasets by European National Forestry Inventories; BioSoil; Forest Focus/Monitoring; EUFGIS; GeneticDiversity). The survivability is estimated as the maximum extension of habitat suitability by means of statistical multivariate similarity analysis (Relative Distance Similarity, RDS) of the bio-climatic conditions where the taxon is observed in Europe (RDS Maximum Habitat Suitability, RDS-MHS). Available years: 2006. The maps are available in the Forest Information System for Europe (FISE). FISE is run by the European Commission, Joint Research Centre. See the field Lineage for further information.

Lineage information

The data refer to the European Atlas of forest Tree Species [1]. The survivability model (or maximum habitat suitability model) relies on statistical multivariate similarity analysis (Relative Distance Similarity, RDS) of the bio-climatic conditions where the taxon is observed in Europe (RDS Maximum Habitat Suitability, RDS-MHS) [2-5] as implemented by using the Mastrave modelling library [6,7] within the GNU Octave computational environment [8] and the GDAL library [9] within the Python computational environment [10]. Forest tree species presence/absence information has been used from the harmonised datasets in the Forest Information System for Europe (FISE).
