DESCRIPTION/REPRODUCIBILITY: 

- This dataset contains rasters of landscape robustness for the Bern Landscape Change Explorer project.

- All rasters are projected in the CH1903+ / LV95 coordinate reference system and share the same extent and resolution (1 hectare).

- For detailed descriptions of the data generation process, raster value interpretation and suggested colour scheme, please refer to the accompanying metadata files:

-  BeschreibungMetadatenRobustheit_DE.pdf

-  BeschreibungMetadatenRobustheit_ENG.pdf

 

Two raster-based indicators are provided for each topic for the robustness evaluation: performance and

stability. The performance indicator is stored in files with the prefix Mean_sum_of_change_ and

describes the mean cumulative change value across all scenarios and future points in time. The

stability indicator is stored in files with the prefix Undesirable_deviation_sum_of_change_ and

describes the extent of undesirable negative deviations across all scenarios. Both indicators are

available for biodiversity (BD), ecosystem services (ES), and the combination of biodiversity and

ecosystem services (BD-ES). The robustness classes on the platform are derived from the joint

classification of these two indicator grids and are therefore not included as a separate grid layer.
