Input file of the "CIMPAL Calculator" service (step 6) of the Biotope vulnerability Workflow within the Internal Joint Initiative. It links a species impact to a given biotope using predefined weights (defined by the user own criteria / framework). A species can impact multiple biotope categories with different impact weights. If available, the strength of evidence of each specific species-biotope impact weight can be provided, which will allow to calculate an "uncertainty averse" version of the CIMPAL index, otherwise only a "precautionary" version is calculated. The biotope categories must match spatial layers habitat names in input file "Biotopes.zip". The structure of the file is as follows: - Species name (text) - Biotope category (text) - Magnitude of impact (numeric) - Strength of evidence (numeric) (optional)
