- Abstract:
- The project develops two new methods to model influences of climate and habitat variables on UK plant species distributions. The first method involves a genetic algorithm approach and the second is a spatial regression based approach. Models will be developed for Biological Records Centre plant distributions using current climate data along with derivatives of elevation models, soil maps and land cover data. The comparison of these approaches will allow the influences of spatial autocorrelation in such datasets on bioclimatic modelling efforts to be investigated. The models will then be used to project plant distributions under varying climate and land use change scenarios.
