The data folders contain summary statistics at the assemblage (grid-cell) level of estimated collision-mortality rates, calculated across 320 bird species and 22 bat species known to occur in Europe. For birds only, the folder also contains species richness by estimated vulnerability classes (species grouping: highly vulnerable, high latent risk, possible persisters, possible adapters; for the detailed Methodology, see Deliverable D1.6 of the WIMBY project).
The summary statistics are provided in separate raster (.tif) files birds and bats.
The raster files are cropped around Europe; the resolution is 10 km by 10 km and the projection used is Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection.
See Deliverable D1.6 of the WIMBY project for details on the Methodology.
Note on contributions:
Martin Jung (IIASA) contributed to these outputs by providing suitability maps for 320 species of birds and 22 species of bats.
The suitability maps were obtained following the Methodology described in Chapman et al. (2023), following Methods developed in Jung (2023).
These maps were developed as part of the BIOCLIMA EU-funded project.
