Olive Cultivar Distribution in Mainland Portugal on a 10 km Grid

Distribution data for olive cultivars in mainland Portugal, modeled on a 10 × 10 km grid. The dataset includes current occurrences, modeled distributions under present conditions, and future projections for the year 2050 under the RCP 4.5 climate scenario. It was authored by Inês Guise and last updated on March 26, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling current and future habitat suitability for olive cultivars based on climate projections.
• Analyzing patterns of intraspecific diversity and cultivar distribution across a 10 km grid.
• Assessing agricultural resilience and vulnerability to climate change for specific crop varieties.

Strengths

• Includes future climate projections for the year 2050 under the RCP 4.5 scenario.
• Spatial data is provided at a 10 × 10 km grid resolution for mainland Portugal.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is packaged in a RAR archive, which requires specific extraction tools.
