Conservation applications of niche modeling: Native and naturalized ferns may compete for limited Hawaiian dryland habitat

Climate data layer repository This repository contains data for the publication: Edwards-Calma, K., L.Jiménez, R. Zenil-Ferguson, K.Heyduk, M. K.Thomas, and C. M. Tribble. 2024. Conservation applications of niche modeling: Native and naturalized ferns may compete for limited Hawaiian dryland habitat. Applications in Plant Sciences 12(3): e11598. https://doi.org/10.1002/aps3.11598 The temperature and precipitation data layers (below) were accessed from the Hawaiʻi Climate Data Portal (https://www.hawaii.edu/climate-data-portal). They are included here in their original form and as the transformed variables used in the analysis. The transformation code is available on GitHub.
