Habitat Suitability and Exposure for Vasconcellea Candicans in Lima, Peru

Current and future species distribution model projections under different climate scenarios and multi-temporal land-use/land-cover data for the endemic species Vasconcellea candicans. The dataset was authored by Rebeca M. Cruz-Zegarra and last updated on May 19, 2026. It is a 1.5 GB collection of geospatial files in formats including TIF and SHP.

Use Cases

• Modeling future habitat suitability for Vasconcellea candicans based on climate scenario projections mentioned in the description
• Assessing species exposure risk by analyzing multi-temporal land-use/land-cover change data
• Prioritizing conservation areas by overlaying habitat suitability maps with urban growth projections

Strengths

• Includes both current and future projections under different climate scenarios
• Combines species distribution models with multi-temporal land-use/land-cover data
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license
• Dataset size of 1.5 GB suggests detailed spatial data

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Lima, Peru study area
