Species distribution modeling
Abstract
Species Distribution Modeling (SDM) can help understand a species distribution in relation to its environment. It can also attempt to quantify the impact of climate change on the species' habitat, direct conservation efforts and predict invasive species distributions. This is acheived by associating species occurrence (observations) data with a set of environmental data (such as temperature and precipitation).
