Landuse/Landcover predictors for invasive species distribution modelling in Europe.
Description
Description
This data set contains a set of predictors characterizing land use/land cover derived from the CORINE dataset, anthropogenic pressure from the global terrestrial human footprint dataset, and the distance to the nearest waterbody, for continental Europe. All have been aligned with the 1 km2 EEA Reference Grid. The climate variables based on historical (1976-2005) and future (2040-2070) scenarios are available from De Troch et al., 2020 also via Zenodo. These rasters represent the habitat and anthropogenic predictors needed in the Tracking Invasive Alien Species (TrIAS) workflow for invasive species distribution modelling (wiSDM).
Geographic coverage
Europe
Methods
Land use classes were extracted from the CORINE06 100 m GeoTiff downloaded from Copernicus. The percentage of each 1 km2 EEA Reference Grid cell occupied by coniferous forest, deciduous forest, wetlands, grasslands and agriculture was calculated. Multiple land use sub-classes were aggregated for the following categories: agriculture, wetlands, grasslands (Table 1). These data layers have been processed in R to replace all NAs that are within the European landmass, with zeros to distinguish them from the ocean, which remain NA, as in the CORINE dataset. In this context, a zero reflects the absence of a given land cover attribute.
The mean anthropogenic pressure per 1km2 EEA Reference Grid cell was extracted from the global terrestrial human footprint dataset (Venter et al, 2016). Distance to the nearest waterbody within each 1km2 EEA Reference Grid cell was calculated using the 2016 Surface Water Bodies shapefile available from the EEA (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/wise-wfd-spatial/surface-water-body).
| Land Use Class | CORINE LABEL |
| Agriculture | Non-irrigated arable land (211), Rice fields (213),Vineyards (221),Fruit trees and berry plantations (222),Olive groves (223),Pastures (231),Annual crops associated with permanent crops (241),Complex cultivation patterns (242),Land principally occupied by agriculture, with significant areas of natural vegetation (243) |
| Coniferous forest | Coniferous forest (312) |
| Deciduous forest | Broad-leaved forest (311) |
| Grassland | Natural grasslands (321), Moors and heathland, (322) Sclerophyllous vegetation (323) |
| Wetland | Inland marshes (411), Peat bogs (412) |
