Description
European bison habitat suitability across Europe, based on our scale-integrated habitat model.(A) Year-round habitat suitability,
(B) Habitat suitability during the growing season.
(C) Habitat suitability during the non-growing season.
Values indicate relative suitability values, scaled between 0 and 1.
For reference, (D) Growing season length across our study area is shown. This data is based on CHELSA climatologies (Karger et al. 2017).
