title: SHOWCASE Task 2.7 Biodiversity Indicators and Predictors data set

description: The dataset contains five biodiversity (0-1 interval normalised) indicators from five case study areas (HU, ES, PT, NL and CH): wild bees abundance (field "Ind_WBA"), wild bees species richness (field "Ind_WBR"), spiders abundance (field "Ind_SpA"), spider species richness (field "Ind_SpR"), and vascular plants species richnes (field "Ind_PlaR"). Data are georeffered (EPSG: 3035) and coordinates are provided (field:" xcoord_EPSG3035" and "ycoord_EPSG3035"). Data were collected in two sampling rounds (field "Round").  Additionally the data set contains a set of predictors for biodiversity indicators encompassing 27 variables, belonging to four different groups: 1.  Landscape elements: proximity to roads and proximity to Small Woody Features (SWF, Copernicus land Monitoring Services, CLMS 2018); 2. Terrain descriptors: elevation, aspect, slope, and their derivatives (8 variables); 3. Spectral signatures and Remote Sensing Indicatora (RSI) from Copernicus Sentinel 2 (14 variables); and 4.  Biodiversity management (3 variables, dummy coded 0,1).
