ESDM-DEB Hybrid Framework: Species Habitat and Growth Models Under Climate Change

A code repository and package for a hybrid correlative-mechanistic modeling framework. The 15.3 MB archive integrates an Ensemble Species Distribution Model (ESDM) with a Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) model. Bing-xian Liu authored this resource, which was last updated on May 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Projecting species habitat suitability under climate change based on the Ensemble Species Distribution Model (ESDM) component.
• Simulating individual growth and bioenergetic dynamics based on the Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) model component.
• Assessing combined habitat and physiological constraints on species using the hybrid correlative-mechanistic framework.
• Creating spatially explicit maps of species vulnerability by integrating distribution and bioenergetic outputs.

Strengths

• Framework integrates two established modeling paradigms (ESDM and DEB) for a more mechanistic approach.
• The model outputs are spatially explicit, as mentioned in the description.
• The resource is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The 15.3 MB size suggests a small-scale or example dataset, which may limit direct application.
• Row count and specific column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or taxonomic bias inherent to the unspecified source models.
