Title 9 second substrate rasters for continental modelling of Australia's biodiversity patterns
 
Creator CSIRO, Australia
 
Subject Physical Geography and Environmental Geoscience not elsewhere classified
 
Description These data provide consistent rasterised layers of edaphic (physical and chemical conditions of the soil) and land surface physiography (landform and geomorphology) variables hypothesised to explain spatial patterns in biological diversity at continental scales for immediate use with statistical modelling tools. These data are intended to be used along with a similarly compiled and spatially standardised set of climatic layers. Consistent "stacks" of raster variables are needed for spatially-explicit biodiversity modelling using tools such as MAXENT or Generalised Dissimilarity Modelling (GDM). Full details of each dataset, with a list of data sources and bibliography, are provided in a table as part of the data collection. Additional information provided with the 1km gridded raster is relevant to some these data and provided here also. Each dataset will need to be separately cited. These data have also been made available for use in the Atlas of Living Australia's Spatial Portal.
