27 Native Lebanese Trees Presence Point

Points collected nationwide to be used as inputs in a species distribution model. This dataset provides suitability maps for 27 native tree species in Lebanon, generated using Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM) with the MaxEnt software. It integrates climatic and topographic predictors, including novel factors like cloud coverage during summer, to understand the bioclimatic niche of these species at the edge of their distribution. The study aims to support forest management, reforestation programs, and conservation priority setting
