  • GDM Classification of New Zealand Biotic Composition for All Forest Plants 5 groups

    Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research
    This layer provides a classification of New Zealand ecosystems according to plant composition. Generalized Dissimilarity Modelling was used to produce a model of biotic composition in relation ship to environment and biogeography. This model was used to transform and scale environmental layers to predict community composition. The transformed...
