Description

This repository contains all input data required to run the habitat conversion, collision, and electrocution LCIA models and reproduce the results, as well as all output data generated in various formats. The models are described in the paper "Biodiversity on the Line: Life Cycle Impact Assessment of Power Lines on Birds and Mammals in Norway" (https://doi.org/10.1088/2634-4505/ad5bfd).

"The files "01_Get_GBIF_points.R, "02_SDMs_maxent.R" describe how to create the species distribution maps.

"03_Data_preparation.R", "04_Pylon_cleaning.py" are to prepare and modify the raw data for the analysis. The raw data are not provided, yet links to the sources are provided either in the R codes or the paper.

To run the models, run the "05_SHR_modelling.R" and "06_Collision_electrocution_models.R" files.

To calculate characterization factors, run the "07_Characterisation_factors.R" file.

To export the tables in the Supporting Information 1, run the file "08_Supporting_Information.R".

Finally, the file "09_Sensitivity_analysis.R" performs the sensitivity analyses.
