Description: mean_summer9vars.tif: Habitat suitability raster layer with spatial resolution 30 x 30 m. Generated from GPS coordinates of Svalbard reindeer in July-August 2009-2017. mean_winter9vars.tif: Habitat suitability raster layer with spatial resolution 30 x 30 m. Generated from GPS coordinates of Svalbard reindeer December-April 2009-2018. The habitat suitability rasters are ensemble models generated from the study areas and projected onto the predictor layer with the largest spatial extent (NDVI layer). This is why not all of Svalbard is covered.
The predictor layers going into the models were: NDVI, biomass, moss tundra, heath, distance to bird cliffs, elevation, slope, terrain ruggedness. These were also used to project the ensemble models onto a larger spatial scale.
For all predictor layers and gps points: All pixels on glacier and in water was removed. The models going into the ensemble for each raster layer were determined based on calculations of the evaluation statistic Boyce Index > 0.9. Both rasters are in the coordinate system UTM33N WGS84.
