Human influence |
Influence index created by combining scores across 9
global data layers covering human population pressure (population
density), human land use and infrastructure (built-up areas, nighttime
lights, land use/land cover), and human access (roads, coastlines,
navigable rivers). |

Land cover |
Global composites and land cover maps allocate land cover
into 22 categories, using input observations from the 300m MERIS sensor
on board the ENVISAT satellite mission. This data was reclassified into
a binary matrix to estimate the proportion of suitable (1) and
unsuitable (0) lynx habitat. |
