Accurate estimates of species distributions are crucial for biogeography, spatial conservation, and for assessing the impacts of human activities on species. However, existing approaches to estimate species distributions have typically neglected the influence of land use intensity, potentially overlooking the negative impacts of high-intensity land uses on biodiversity. Here, we build a dataset documenting the habitat suitability of European land systems for terrestrial vertebrate species, based on a novel land system map of Europe that factors in land use intensity. Our database offers refined and up-to-date information on terrestrial vertebrate distributions in Europe by explicitly considering land use intensity.

欧洲陆地系统对陆生脊椎动物的栖息地适宜性


准确估计物种分布对于生物地理学、空间保护和评估人类活动对物种的影响至关重要。然而，现有的估计物种分布的方法通常忽视了土地利用强度的影响，可能忽视了高强度土地利用对生物多样性的负面影响。在这里，我们建立了一个数据集，记录了欧洲陆地系统对陆生脊椎动物物种的栖息地适宜性，该数据集基于一张考虑了土地利用强度的新型欧洲陆地系统地图。我们的数据库通过明确考虑土地利用强度，提供有关欧洲陆生脊椎动物分布的精细和最新信息。
