Replication data for: Threats to cassava production: known and potential geographic distribution of four key biotic constraints

The potential distribution map of the Cassava Greenmite is the result of a weighted overlay combination of several ecological models and a set of environmental variables. Models used were Environmental Distance, Genetic Alrgorithm for Rule-set Production and Support vector Machines . Environmental variables include: Bioclim dataset, number of consecutive dry months, aridity index, potential evapotranspiration and altitude. The potential distribution map of whitefly (Bemisa tabacci) provides a global potential distribution in order to know the places where this species has habitat suitability. The potential distribution map is the result of weighted overlay combination of several ecological models and a set of environmental variables.

木薯绿螨（Cassava Greenmite）的潜在分布图谱，是多种生态模型与一组环境变量经加权叠加组合得到的研究结果。所用模型包括环境距离法（Environmental Distance）、规则集生成遗传算法（Genetic Algorithm for Rule-set Production）以及支持向量机（Support Vector Machines）。涉及的环境变量涵盖生物气候数据集（Bioclim dataset）、连续干旱月数、干旱指数、潜在蒸散量与海拔高度。烟粉虱（Bemisa tabacci）的潜在分布图谱可提供全球尺度的潜在分布信息，用于明确该物种具备生境适宜性的分布区域。该图谱同样由多种生态模型与一组环境变量经加权叠加组合生成。
