EUNIS vegetated man-made habitat types, predicted distribution of habitat suitability - version 1, Nov. 2021
This metadata corresponds to the EUNIS Vegetated man-made habitats types, predicted distribution of habitat suitability dataset. Anthropogenic habitats which are dominated by vegetation and usually subject to regular management but also arising from recent abandonment of previously cultivated ground. This includes areas cultivated for crops, orchards and grasslands such as lawns and sports fields which are a result of reseeding and often heavily fertilised together with planted and managed forests and other anthropogenic habitats with trees such as avenues. Non vegetated anthropogenic habitats are Constructed, industrial and other artificial habitats (Y). The modelled suitability for EUNIS vegetated man-made habitat types is an indication of where conditions are favourable for the habitat type based on sample plot data (Braun-Blanquet database) and the Maxent software package. The modelled suitability map may be used as a proxy for the geographical distribution of the habitat type. However, note that it is not representing the actual distribution of the habitat type. As predictors for the suitabilty modelling not only Climate and Soil parameters have been taken into account, but also so-called RS-EVB's, Remote Sensing-enabled Essential Biodiversity Variables like Landuse, Vegetation height, Phenology, LAI (Leave Area Index) and Population density. Because the EBV's are restricted by the extent of the Remote Sensing data (EEA38 countries and the United Kingdom) the modelling result does also not go beyond this boundary. The dataset is provided both in Geodatabase and Geopackage formats.

This metadata corresponds to the EUNIS Vegetated man-made habitats types, predicted distribution of habitat suitability dataset. Anthropogenic habitats which are dominated by vegetation and usually subject to regular management but also arising from recent abandonment of previously cultivated ground.
