Downscaling local distribution of cattle over Guadeloupe archipelago: An adapted method for disaggregating census data.

ABSTRACT: Gridded livestock distribution datasets have been produced for several years and are used in various fields, including epidemiology, livestock impact assessment, and territory management. Those datasets are based on census conducted at national/sub-national scale which are then downscaled using machine learning algorithm and relevant spatial-explicit environmental predictors. The most known dataset of livestock disaggregated observations is the Gridded Livestock of the World (GLW), which produces global maps of livestock density at 10 km spatial resolution for several livestock species. Though this spatial resolution can be appropriate to describe livestock distribution at the global scale, it inherently leads to a coarse representation of breeding species density for smaller territories s
