INFERRING ECOLOGICAL NICHE MODEL INPUT LAYERS

摘要

An aspect includes aggregating a plurality of disparate datasets into a document store with semi-structured attributes that includes a plurality of documents specifying a plurality of different geo spatial locations and a plurality of different environmental parameters. Niche model layers are generated for the environmental parameters at the geospatial locations based on contents of the document store. The niche model layers include a model layer for each of the different environmental parameters. An additional niche model layer is created for a derived environmental parameter at the geospatial locations based at least in part on one of the previously generated niche model layers. A future geospatial location of a species is predicted based on environmental attributes of the species and contents of at least a subset of the niche model layers. The predicted future geospatial location of the species overlaid on a geographic map is output.
