Orthophotos and 2D hydraulic modelling results used for habitat suitability modelling of the River Inn section (river km 35.3-48) in SE Germany
<p>The aerial RGB picture acquisition was performed on October 7 (bypass channel) and 11 (side channel) 2022 using a DJI-Matrice 210 V2 RTK drone. For the image acquisition, the drone mounted the DJI Zenmuse X5S RGB camera. The flight was realized at an altitude of about 120 m, ensuring a lateral and longitudinal overlap of the images of about 80%. Gound Control Points (GCPs) have been disposed along the study site, and their position georeferenced using a Emlid Reach RS2 RTK GPS system. After data collection, an RGB orthomosaic with a spatial resolution of 25 cm was generated, using PIX4Dmapper v4.7.5 (www.pix4d.com).</p><p>The hydrodynamic simulations were performed with the freeware software BASEMENT v3.2 (https://basement.ethz.ch), which solves the 2D shallow-water equations using a finite volume approach over two-dimensional unstructured meshes. Computational meshes were created using the QGIS plugin BASEmesh 2, with spatially varying element sizes, which were set to be finer in areas expected to be suitable for spawning and as nursery grounds, or when needed to more accurately represent the local morphological complexity.</p>
Impact of modified caneberry trellis systems on microclimate and habitat suitability for Drosophila suzukii
<p>Caneberries are trellised to facilitate harvest and agrochemical applications as well as to improve crop yield and quality. Trellising can also increase airflow and light penetration within the canopy and affect its microclimate. We compared an experimental trellis that split the canopy into halves to standard I- and V-trellises, measuring <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> (Matsumura) fruit infestation as well as canopy temperature and relative humidity in raspberries at two commercial you-pick diversified farms. To evaluate the combined effects of trellising systems and pruning, we pruned one half of each row in blackberry plantings at two research farms and assessed <i>D. suzukii</i> infestation, canopy microclimate (temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity), fruit quality parameters (interior temperature, total soluble solids, and penetration force), and spray coverage/deposition. Trellis installation costs, labor inputs, and yield were used to further evaluate the trellis systems from an economic perspective. Fruit quality was not affected by trellising or pruning and lower total yield was observed in the experimental trellis treatment on one farm. Although <i>D. suzukii</i> infestation was only affected by trellising and pruning at one site, we observed a relationship between higher temperatures and reduced infestation on nearly all farms. Occasionally, lower relative humidity and high light intensity corresponded with lower infestation. Ultimately, the experimental trellis was less economically efficient than other trellising systems and our ability to successfully manipulate habitat favorability varied in a site-specific manner. <i>Drosophila suzukii </i>management approaches that rely upon unfavorable conditions are likely to be more effective in hot, dry regions.</p>
Data from: Better together? Assessing different remote sensing products for predicting habitat suitability of wetland birds
<p>This data repository contains the processed and extracted metrics from the Dutch land cover, country wide airborne laser scanning and Sentinel-1 and 2 datasets used as input predictor variables in the species distribution modelling step. The study area within the Netherlands comprised five Dutch provinces (Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Gelderland, and Flevoland) for which both ALS and Sentinel data were available for the same year. The land cover metrics were derived using the Dutch land cover map from 2018 (LGN2018 or LGN8). The country-wide LiDAR point clouds were derived from the third Dutch national ALS flight campaign (AHN3, Actueel Hoogtebestand Nederland). The AHN3 dataset is openly accessible data available from (<a href="https://ahn.arcgisonline.nl/ahnviewer/">https://ahn.arcgisonline.nl/ahnviewer/</a>). The Sentinel datasets were processed using Google Earth Engine. </p>
Data from: Predicting habitat suitability and connectivity for management and conservation of urban wildlife: A real-time web application for grassland water voles
<ol> <li>Natural habitats in urban areas provide benefits for both humans and biodiversity. However, to achieve biodiversity gains we require new techniques to determine habitat suitability and ecological connectivity that will inform urban planning and development.</li> <li>Using an example of an urban population of water voles (<i>Arvicola amphibius</i>) we developed a habitat suitability model and a resistance-surface-based model of landscape connectivity to identify potential connectivity between areas of suitable habitat. We then updated the environmental variables according to new urban development plans and used our models to generate spatially explicit predictions of both habitat suitability and connectivity.</li> <li>To make models accessible to urban and conservation planners we developed an interactive mapping tool that provided users with a graphical user interface (GUI) to inform conservation planning for this species.</li> <li>The model found that habitat suitability for water voles was related to distance from key environmental variables, such as built-up areas and urban green spaces, while the connectivity model identified important corridors connecting areas of potential distribution for this species.</li> <li>Future development plans altered the potential spatial distribution of the water vole population, reducing the extent of suitable habitat in some core areas. The interactive mapping tool made available suitable habitat and connectivity maps for conservation managers to assess new planning applications and for the development of a conservation action plan for water voles.</li> <li>Synthesis and applications: We believe this approach provides a framework for future development of nature conservation tools that can be used by planners to inform ecological decision making, increase biodiversity and reduce human-wildlife conflict in urban environments.</li> </ol>
Modelling the potential global distribution of suitable habitat for the biological control agent Heterorhabditis indica
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) <em>Heterorhabditis indica</em> is a promising biocontrol candidate. Despite the acknowledged importance of EPN in pest control, no extensive data sets or maps have been developed on their distribution at global level. This study is the first attempt to generate Ecological Niche Models (ENM) for <em>H. indica</em> and its global Habitat Suitability Map (HSM) to generate biogeographical information and predicts its global geographical range of prospective areas for its exploration and to help identify the suitable release areas for biocontrol purpose. The aim of the modelling exercise was to access the influence of temperature and soil moisture on the biogeographical patterns of <em>H. indica</em> at the global level. CLIMEX software was used to model the distribution of <em>H. indica</em> and access to the influence of environmental variable on its global distribution. In total, 162 records of <em>H. indica</em> occurrence from 27 countries over 25 years was combined to generate the known distribution data. The model was further fine-tuned using the direct experimental observations of the <em>H. indica</em>'s growth response to temperature and soil moisture. Model predicts much of the tropics and subtropics has suitable climatic conditions for <em>H. indica</em>. It further predicts that <em>H. indica</em> distribution can extends into warmer temperate climates. Examination of the model output, predictions maps at a global level indicate that <em>H. indica</em> distribution may be limited by cold stress, heat stress and dry stresses in different areas. However, cold stress appears to be the major limiting factor. This study, highlighted an efficient way to construct HSM for EPN potentially useful in the search/release of target species in new locations. The study showed that <em>H. indica</em> which is known as warm adapted EPN generally found in tropics and subtropics can potentially establish itself in warmer temperate climates as well. The model can also be used to decide the release timing of EPN by adjusting with season for maximum growth. The model developed in the current study clearly identified the value and potential of Habitat Suitability Map (HSM) in planning of future surveys and application of <em>H. indica.</em></p>
Data associated with: Climate change will likely threaten areas of suitable habitats for the most relevant medicinal plants native to the Caatinga dry forest
<p>Medicinal plants play an important role in providing ecosystem services, such as local cultural and economic value, and human well-being, especially in poor regions. The use of plants to improve living conditions and increase the chances of survival comes from the beginning of human life. Climate change has the potential to contract areas of suitable habitat for medicinal plant species across different regions. As a consequence of climate change, the possibility of treating diseases can be compromised, and even interrupted. <em>We collected data from the medicinal applications and the parts that are used of 10 species of medicinal plants native to the Caatinga dry forest [i.e., </em><em>Myracrodruon urundeuva</em><em> Allemão (Anacardiaceae), </em><em>Cereus jamacaru </em><em>DC (Cactaceae), </em><em>Neocalyptrocalyx longifolium</em><em> (Mart) Cornejo & Iltis (Caparaceae),</em><em> Maytenus rigida </em><em>Mart (Celastraceae), </em><em>Operculina hamiltonii</em><em> (G Don) DF Austin Staples, </em><em>Operculina macrocarpa</em><em> (L) Urb (Convolvulaceae), </em><em>Amburana cearensis </em><em>(Allemao) AC Sm, </em><em>Anadenantehra colubrina</em><em> (Vell) Brenan, </em><em>Bauhinia cheilantha</em><em> (Bong) Steud and </em><em>Erythrina velutina</em><em> Willd (Legimonosae). </em>In addition, we also collected precise georeferenced data (native occurrence) of these medicinal plant species, that was accessed in 1) The Global Biodiversity Information Facility platform (GBIF) is an international data network funded by governments around the world, providing open access to data on all life on Earth (https:// www.gbif.org, accessed May 2022); 2) REFLORA - Herbário Virtual, virtual herbarium network that contains information on Brazilian plants that are deposited in 63 herbaria in Brazil and 10 international herbaria (http://reflora.jbrj.gov.br/reflora/herbarioVirtual, accessed May 2022); 3) Botanical Information and Ecology Network Platform (BIEN), a global information network that helps to document patterns of plant diversity, trait records and distribution, which includes georeferenced plant observation data from herbarium records, plots, survey inventories (https://bien .nceas.ucsb.edu/bien/biendata, accessed May 2022) and 4) 95 botanical monographs and floras. We excluded all repeated and mismatch occurrence data for each species. We collected all the available points for the studied species.</p>
Data for: Forecasting shifts in habitat suitability of three marine predators suggests a rapid decline in inter-specific overlap under future climate change
<p><strong><span>Aim:</span></strong><span> To estimate spatiotemporal changes in habitat suitability and inter-specific overlap among three marine predators: Baltic grey seals (<em>Halichoerus grypus grypus</em>), harbour seals (<em>Phoca vitulina</em>), and harbour porpoises (<em>Phocoena phocoena</em>) under contemporary and future conditions.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Location: </span></strong><span>The southwestern region of the Baltic Sea, including the Danish Straits and the Kattegat, one of the fastest-warming semi-enclosed seas in the world.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Methods: </span></strong><span>Location data (>200 tagged individuals) were analysed within the </span><span>maximum entropy (MaxEnt) </span><span>algorithm to estimate changes in total area size and overlap of species-specific habitat suitability between 1997-2020 and 2091-2100. A total of eleven candidate predictor variables were considered </span><span>representing anthropogenic activity, environmental, and climate sensitive oceanographic conditions in the area. Sea surface temperature and salinity</span><span> data were taken from </span><span>representative concentration pathways [RCPs] scenarios 6.0 and 8.5</span><span> to forecast potential </span><span>climate change effects</span><span>.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Results:</span></strong><span> Model output suggests that habitat suitability of Baltic grey seals will decline drastically over space and time, largely driven by changes in sea surface salinity and a loss of currently available haulout sites following sea level rise in the future. A similar though weaker response was observed for harbour seals, while suitability of habitat for harbour porpoises was predicted to remain fairly stable over space and time. Inter-specific overlap in highly suitable habitat was predicted to increase slightly under RCP scenario 6.0 when compared to contemporary conditions but to largely disappear under RCP scenario 8.5.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Main conclusions:</span></strong><strong> </strong><span>Marine predators in the southwestern Baltic Sea and adjacent waters may respond differently to future climatic conditions, leading to divergent shifts in habitat suitability that are likely to decrease inter-specific overlap.<strong> </strong>We, therefore, conclude that climate change can lead to a marked redistribution of area use by marine predators in the region, which may influence local food-web dynamics and ecosystem functioning.</span></p>
Climate change effects on deep-water corals – habitat suitability model input data
<p>Deep-water corals are protected in the seas around New Zealand by legislation that prohibits intentional damage and removal, and by marine protected areas where bottom trawling is prohibited. However, these measures do not protect them from the impacts of a changing climate and ocean acidification. To enable adequate future protection from these threats we require knowledge of the present distribution of corals and the environmental conditions that determine their preferred habitat, as well as the likely future changes in these conditions, so that we can identify areas for potential refugia.</p> <p>In this study, we built habitat suitability models for 12 taxa of deep-water corals using a comprehensive set of sample data and predicted present and future seafloor environmental conditions from an earth system model specifically tailored for the South Pacific. These models predicted that for most taxa there will be substantial shifts in the location of the most suitable habitat and decreases in the area of such habitat by the end of the 21st century, driven primarily by decreases in seafloor oxygen concentrations, shoaling of aragonite and calcite saturation horizons, and increases in nitrogen concentrations. The current network of protected areas in the region appear to provide little protection for most coral taxa, as there is little overlap with areas of highest habitat suitability, either in the present or the future. We recommend an urgent re-examination of the spatial distribution of protected areas for deep-water corals in the region, utilising spatial planning software that can balance protection requirements against value from fishing and mineral resources, take into account the current status of the coral habitats after decades of bottom trawling, and consider connectivity pathways for colonisation of corals into potential refugia.</p>
