Dataset was scientifically peer reviewed
- Description:
- The compiled dataset consists of several spatial layers related to infrastructure such as roads, railroads and settlements, and natural elements such as lakes, rivers and forests that are undisturbed by human influences. All layers were weighted according to their naturalness. Terrain roughness was incorporated as proxy for physical landscape heterogeneity. Each layer was weighted either positively or negatively except for terrain roughness that was weighted based on three states, low roughness as negative, medium roughness as neutral and high roughness as positive. Data were transformed to a standardized scale based on their maximum values. Hence, all values range between 0 and 1.
