Abstract We provide a global, spatially explicit characterization of 47 terrestrial habitat types, as defined in the International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN) classification scheme, which is widely used ecological analyses, including quantifying species’ Area Habitat. produced this novel map year 2015 by creating global decision tree that intersects best currently available data on land cover, climate and use. independently validated using occurrence 828 species vertebrates (35152...
Area of Habitat (AOH) is "the habitat available to a species, that is, within its range". It complements geographic range map for species by showing potential occupancy and reducing commission errors. AOH maps are produced subtracting areas considered unsuitable the from their map, using information on each species' associations with elevation. We present 5,481 terrestrial mammal 10,651 bird (including 1,816 migratory which we separate resident, breeding non-breeding areas). Our have...
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) is defined as the “habitat available to a species, that is, within its range” and calculated by subtracting areas unsuitable land cover elevation from range. The International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN) Habitats Classification Scheme provides information on species associations, typically unvalidated expert opinion used match land‐cover classes, which generates source uncertainty in AOH maps. We developed data‐driven method translate IUCN classes...

Abstract. Area of habitat (AOH) is a deductive model which maps the distribution suitable habitats at altitudes for species inside its broad geographical range. The AOH have been validated using presence-only data small subsets different taxonomic groups, but no standard validation method exists when absence are not available. We develop novel two-step protocol includes first model-based evaluation prevalence (i.e, proportion within species' range), and second point localities...
Abstract Area of Habitat (AOH) is defined as the ‘habitat available to a species, that is, habitat within its range’ and produced by subtracting areas unsuitable land cover elevation from range. associations are documented using IUCN Habitats Classification Scheme, unvalidated expert opinion has been used so far match land-cover classes generating source uncertainty in AOH maps. We develop data-driven method translate based on point locality data for 6,986 species terrestrial mammals, birds,...

The passive remote sensing of Landsat images gives a great opportunity to look at the glaciers and glacial lakes in Himalayas construct time series assess changes which has occurred over years. After analyzing different methods map clean glaciers, debris covered lakes, method combining supervised classification image morphometric parameters (slope aspect) derived from global digital elevation model (ASTER GDEM) was applied northeastern Nepal bordering areas Tibetan plateau. Furthermore,...
