In the Lifewatch-WB project, a database combining segmentation in homogeneous landscape units (called « ecotopes ») and environmental attributes derived from regularly updated remote sensing data (quantitative land cover attributes, solar energy,…) and other data sources (climate, topography,…) has been designed.

Species distribution modelling: a data hungry but useful tool for biological conservation

Species distribution model Species occurrences Environmental attributes

Climate Topography Land cover Soil

properties Hydrology … Invasive species management Habitat restoration Network design Wild fauna monitoring Natural reserve selection Identification of biodiversity hotspots

Objectives Study species

Study area: Wallonia

Three different databases were tested: the ecotopes, a grid with the same environmental variables and a categorical land cover database (COSW).

For each species, 5 modelling algorithms were tested. Model performance was assessed by 5-fold cross-validation using the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC), and the best models obtained with each of the 3 data sources were compared.

New variables derived from ancillary data were added when they significantly improved the AUC.

Results

No significant differences (p>0.05) between ecotopes, grid and COSW

However, ecotopes are better than COSW for species with relatively small sample sizes (<200 occurrences)

Distance to hydrological network Terrain roughness (MNT ERRUISSOL) Soil texture (CNSW) Soil drainage (CNSW) Soil marginality

The ecotopes database provided acceptable to good model quality (AUC>0.7) for all species

The quantitative land cover attributes of the ecotopes allow species distribution modelling with

relatively small sample sizes (<200 occurrences) while a land cover classification fails

Attributes related to soil, hydrology and roughness have been integrated in the ecotope database

• To assess the usefulness of « ecotope »

delineation and descriptors for species distribution modelling

• To propose further improvements of the

« ecotope » database
