EcoCondition Toolset - A QGIS plugin for ecosystem condition assessments.

ABSTRACT: Ecosystem condition can be understood as the quality of an ecosystem in terms of its abiotic, biotic, and landscape characteristics. It is a measure of structural integrity, functional capacity, and resilience of any given ecological system. Its assessment is essential to support environmental objectives (e.g., nature restoration or sustainable use). Spatially explicit assessment of ecosystem condition requires integrating diverse geospatial data. Here, we present the EcoCondition Toolset, a QGIS plugin implementing a user-friendly GIS weighted-sum methodology for ecosystem condition assessments. It simplifies data preparation and analysis through five sequential toolsets: i) layer alignment and resampling; ii) no-data handling; iii) multicollinearity testing; iv) indicator normalisation a
