Biodiversity impact assessment considering land use intensities and fragmentation

The data provide supplementary information for the paper entitled "Biodiversity impact assessment considering land use intensities and fragmentation". Coverage of the characterization factors5 species groups: plants, amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles5 broad land use types: cropland, pasture, plantations, managed forests, and urban areas3 land use intensities: minimal, light, intense (sometimes, intensity levels had to be merged because the data did not allow to differentiate between them)825 terrestrial ecoregions of the world (according to WWF / Olson et al. 2001) FilesMain dataCF.csv: characterization factors (CFs) for ecoregions and 5 species groupsTaxonomically aggregated dataCF_kingdom.csv: CFs aggregated from 5 species groups to plant and animal kingdomsCF_domain.csv: CFs aggregated from plant and animal kingdoms to the domain of EukaryotaSpatially aggregated dataCF_country.csv: CFs aggregated from ecoregions to countriesCF_global.csv: CFs aggregated from ecoregions to the globeTaxonomically and spatially aggregated dataCF_kingdom_country.csv: CFs aggregated to countries and plant and animal kingdomsCF_domain_country.csv: CFs aggregated to countries and the domain of EukaryotaCF_kingdom_global.csv: CFs aggregated to the globe and plant and animal kingdomsCF_domain_global.csv: CFs aggregated to the globe and the domain of Eukaryota UnitsCFs for land occupation: PDF/m2CFs for land transformation: PDF⋅yr/m2 Columnsrealm: 2-letter code to identify one of 8 biogeographical realmsbiome: ID to identify one of 14 biomeseco_id: ID to identify the ecoregion, combining numbers for the realm, biome, and ecoregion within each biome nested within each realmeco_name: ecoregion namespecies_group: species groupkingdom: kingdom as a taxonomic rankhabitat_id: ID to link to the land use type and intensity as used in land_use.tif.
