Dataset for "Assessing the exposure of forest habitat types to projected climate change – implications for Bavarian protected areas"

This dataset relates to the publication C. Steinacker, C. Beierkuhnlein, A. Jaeschke (2019), "Assessing the exposure of forest habitat types to projected climate change—Implications for Bavarian protected areas", Ecology and Evolution. doi: 10.1002/ece3.5877.

The file contains:

the R script,

the model outputs (raster data of projected distribution of habitat types),

the results of the range change analysis,

the protected area shapefile with information on the elevational range inside of them and their projected environmental suitability for the corresponding habitat types.

The products build on freely available data (e.g. distribution data from the EEA under the Habitats Directive). All data sources are cited in the related publication. Methodologically, we applied correlative species distribution models and further spatial and geostatistical analyses. We used R (e.g. biomod2-package) as well as GIS-software to conduct the analyses. More detailed descriptions of the methodology are placed in the publication.
