Description:
Aridity Index (FAO definition: bio_12/bio_23, x100). bio_23: Potential
Evapotranspiration (mm/annual).

Environmental dataset used by Frank Davis and Oliver Soong for modeling species distributions.

Data Quality: Unknown. Neither input environmental grids nor resulting distribution models have been subjected to rigorous accuracy assessment. Most input grids were obtained from public data providers. In most cases, the responsible agencies and organizations provide at least qualitative information on data quality and consistency.
