Baobab Distribution and Elephant Impact Analysis for Karingani Game Reserve

R scripts and data files enable replication of analyses for baobab mapping accuracy, landscape drivers, and elephant herbivory impacts. Field data were collected during June and July 2023 in Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. The dataset totals 504.5 KB and is authored by Audrey Chin.

Use Cases

• Validate aerial survey accuracy for baobab mapping based on ground-truth field data.
• Model landscape drivers of baobab distribution using environmental covariates.
• Assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobab trees based on field observations.

Strengths

• Includes R scripts for full analysis replication.
• Field data collection is temporally specific (June-July 2023).
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's 504.5 KB size indicates a limited scope of observations.
