EcoCommons use case estimating % of suitable habitat impacted by bushfires & utility of HCAS

We compare a variety of ways of estimating the percentage of suitable habitat impacted by the massive bushfires in eastern Australia (2019-2020), by comparing different SDM modelling algorithms, and inclusion of the Habitat Condition Assessment System (HCAS) derived variable.

Models were run using the EcoCommons point-and-click SDM tools, and overlayed with a burnt area map https://researchdata.edu.au/google-earth-engine-map-geebam/1441550 to estimate % of suitable habitat that was impacted. HCAS data available: https://doi.org/10.25919/5j5j-4p06
