NICHE Flanders: reference values for the (a)biotic requirements of vegetation types in Flanders, Belgium

This dataset contains site requirements/tolerance limits (or "reference values") for 28 vegetation types found in Flanders. It gives the lower and upper limits or the classes within which these vegetation types can occur, for 7 site factors that determine potential vegetation development. These reference values can be used to determine the potential distribution of the different vegetation types with the ecohydrological model NICHE Flanders (Callebaut et al. 2007, in Dutch).
