Status and Binary Maps for Pterocles alchata and P. orientalis in Spain (2005-2022)

This dataset contains spatial and quantitative data summarizing the status of habitats and populations for two species (P. alchata and P. orientalis), as well as a sandgrouse status file. The dataset includes:Sandgrouse_Status.rar – A shapefile summarizing the overall population status for sandgrouse.Binary_P_alchata.rar – Binary maps for P. alchata, representing presence/absence across the study area.Binary_P_orientalis.rar – Binary maps for P. orientalis, representing presence/absence across the study area.The binary maps have been used to calculate class-level landscape metrics, including:AREA_MN – Mean patch areaED – Edge densityLPI – Largest patch indexNP – Number of patchesCA – Total class areaFinally, sectors have also been identified:RegSect – Regional sector identifier
