Shapefiles and climate data accompanying the original wiSDM workflow

This data set contains climate data and geospatial vector files that are essential for executing the original wiSDM species distribution modelling workflow, created as part of the TrIAS project and published here. It contains a set of 13 climatological variables at a spatial resolution of 1x1km for the historical period 1971-2005 (European layers) and for the future period 2041-2070 under emission scenario RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5 (Belgian layers). These variables were created by De Troch et al. (2020) and have been previously uploaded to ZENODO as .csv files. The primary goal of this dataset is to provide these files in .tif format, allowing their easy download and use in the wiSDM workflow. For more details, we refer to the data description provided by De Troch et al. (2020). In addition to climatic predictors, the dataset includes geospatial data for Europe and Belgium, which are necessary for constructing the European model and making predictions for Belgium under current and future scenarios. The names of the climatological variables correspond to those provided by De Troch et al. (2020), with the addition of a region argument at the end to distinguish European and Belgian layers: Climatic variables Variable (VariableName): Unit var1 (AnnualMeanTemperature): °C var2 (AnnualAmountPrecipitation): mm year-1 var3 (AnnualVariationPrecipitation): coefficient of variation var4 (AnnualVariationTemperature): stdev var5 (MaximumTemperatureWarmestMonth): °C var6 (MinimumTemperatureColdestMonth): °C var7 (TemperatureAnnualRange): °C var8 (PrecipitationWettestMonth): mm var9 (PrecipitationDriestMonth): mm var10 (30yrMeanAnnualCumulatedGDDAbove5degreesC): °C days var11 (AnnualMeanPotentialEvapotranspiration): mm day-1 var12 (AnnualMeanSolarRadiation): W m-2 var13 (AnnualVariationSolarRadiation): stdev All files varX_VariableName_ClimatePeriod_Startyear_Endyear_Region.csv: climatological data layers for the 13 variables listed above Geospatial vector data for Belgium (belgium_boundary) and Europe (EUROPE) are provided in shapefile format (.shp, .dbf, .shx) along with associated projection information (.prj), spatial index files (.sbn, .sbx), and geospatial metadata in XML format (.shp.xml).
