Habitat Suitability and Biodiversity Metrics for 12 Hajar Mountain Stream Sites in Oman

12 stream sites in Oman's Hajar Mountains provide biodiversity and habitat suitability metrics. The dataset includes Habitat Suitability Index values, threshold classifications, and biodiversity metrics. Aziza S. Al Adhoobi authored this 5.5 KB Excel file, last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess habitat quality for aquatic species based on Habitat Suitability Index values
• Classify stream sites into suitability thresholds based on the provided classifications
• Compare biodiversity metrics across different freshwater sites in the Hajar Mountains
• Model relationships between habitat suitability and observed biodiversity metrics

Strengths

• Dataset is focused on 12 specific field sites, providing a clear spatial scope.
• Includes multiple metric types: HSI values, threshold classifications, and biodiversity metrics.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
