Lion range changes through the late Quaternary, modelled using Global Environmental Stratification
This dataset projects the Global Environmental Stratification (GEnS) (Metzger, 2013) onto palaeoclimatic models of the mid-Holocene and Last Glacial Maximum. A Random Forest Classifier was applied to nine PMIP3 climate ... -
STREAMLINE - a visual interview methodology that makes semi-structured interviews, focus groups and stakeholder workshops more fun and accessible
STREAMLINE is a new tool for community engagement and participatory research. It is a bespoke interview methodology that can be tailored to the needs of individual research projects. STREAMLINE ... -
A high resolution economic density zone map of Europe
Available data for gross domestic product (GDP) and population density are useful for defining divisions in socio-economic gradients across Europe, since economic power and human population pressure are recognised as two ... -
Sub-regional classification of the IPCC Europe region
The IPCC sub-regional classification of the IPCC Europe region is based on a combination of the Environmental Stratification of Europe (Metzger at al. 2005), which covers the map up to 32° East, and an extension for Eastern ... -
Soil properties of lowland savannas of Belize
ARTICLE ABSTRACT A fresh approach is presented to address the increasingly urgent need for alternative land management strategies in savannas. We illustrate how fine-scale information of soil characteristics, can be used ... -
The Environmental Stratification of Europe
The Environmental Stratification of Europe (EnS) is a statistically derived land classification, providing a novel global spatial framework for the integration and analysis of ecological and environmental data. The dataset ... -
The Global Environmental Stratification: A high-resolution bioclimate map of the world
The Global Environmental Stratification (GEnS) is a statistically derived global bioclimate classification, providing a novel global spatial framework for the integration and analysis of ecological and environmental data. ... -
Five illustrated woodland expansion visions for Scotland
Despite woodland expansion being advocated via a number of policy documents, barriers to woodland creation in Scotland remain. These include contested views about land use amongst multiple stakeholders, concerns around ... -
Three illustrated land use visions of Europe for 2040
The continuously growing global demands on a finite land resource will require better strategic policies and management of trade-offs to avoid conflicts between different land-use sectors. Visions of the future can support ... -
Scotland's natural treasures - an illustrated ecosystem services map
Scotland is packed with natural treasures that provide endless inspiration, excitement, and enjoyment as well as supporting much of our economy. These benefits we get from nature sometimes referred to as ecosystem services, ... -
Europe's natural treasures - an illustrated ecosystem services map
Europe is full of natural treasures that provide endless inspiration, excitement, and enjoyment as well as supporting much of our economy. These benefits we get from nature sometimes referred to as ecosystem services, that ... -
Scenarios of shifts in GEnS bioclimate strata based on CIMP5 climate change scenarios for 2050
This dataset provides an alternative representation of global climate change projections based on shifts in the 125 multivariate strata of the Global Environmental Stratification (Metzger et al. 2013), which are characterised ... -
CRAFTY EU28 Land Use | version C001-G9-C3-I1 | IPCC Scenario A1 | runID 3
CRAFTY (Competition for Resources between Agent Functional Types) is a large-scale ABM (Agent-based model) framework of land use change. It has been designed to allow efficient but powerful simulation of a wide range of ... -
