Raster layers depict results from drought prediction and estimation research performed by NatureScot. The data is associated with published research reports analyzing projected increases in extreme drought for Scotland up to 2040. The dataset originates from the Government Digital Service and is available as a ZIP file.
Use Cases
- Modeling habitat vulnerability based on projected drought frequency and duration
