Description

SPECTRE is an open-source database containing standardised spatial data on global environmental and anthropogenic variables that are potential threats to terrestrial species and ecosystems. Its goal is to allow users to swiftly access spatial data on multiple threats at a resolution of 30 arc-seconds for all terrestrial areas. Following the standard set by Worldclim, this data allows full comparability and ease of use under common statistical frameworks for global change studies, species distribution modelling, threat assessments, quantification of ecosystem services and disturbance, among multiple other uses.

Notes (English)

  • SPL_001.tif is a raster with the number of layers containing information (non-NA) for any given pixel.
  • The archive ./file_scripts.zip contains the scripts used to construct the majority of SPECTRE layers. A simple step by step run should be standard in most scripts. However, there are some exceptions, like some climate layers and fire occurrence layers. These were in some cases processed over a week and made use of the Puhti supercomputer available at the CSC.
