Species & Habitat

The terraPulse Species & Habitat dataset maps the spatial distribution of the environmental niche and/or spectral characteristics of each of hundreds of species. Each map is based on available records of species abundance or occurrence and coincident values of environmental predictors drawn from the terraPulse data cube. Depending on data availability, predictive maps of habitat suitability are available at up to daily, 10-meter resolution across the entire geographic distribution of the species. Data product certainty is represented by Root Mean Square Error.
