0.01 degree stack of edaphic and physiographic layers for continental analysis of biodiversity pattern, version 1.0

These data provide rasterised layers of edaphic (physical and chemical conditions of the soil) and land surface physiography (landform and geomorphology) attributes hypothesised to explain spatial patterns in biological diversity at continental scales for immediate use with statistical modelling tools. These data are intended to be used along with a similarly compiled and spatially standardised set of climatic layers (See " 0.01 degree stack of climate layers for continental analysis of biodiversity pattern: version 1.0 " in related materials).NOTE: Full details of the data, with a list of data sources and bibliography, are provided in a PDF file included as part of the data collection.
