Ecogeographical variable dataset for species distribution modelling, describing forest landscape in Latvia, 2017.

ABSTRACT: In this article, we provide access to, and information on the production of 42 ecogeographical variables (EGVs) used to describe the landscape of Latvia at three scales (local and two landscape). Layers are focused on the description of forest heterogeneity, but account for other ecosystems and land cover types as well. The more temporarily changing land use and land cover (LULC) types as forest and agricultural lands are described from 2017 databases. With most of the other LULC information was gathered from the topographic map (2016) at the scale of 1:10 000. All the raster layers provided here are in the Latvian projected coordinate reference system (epsg:3059) with a grid cell size of 25 ha. Each layer provides quantitative information on the area, shape, and edge of habitat classes an
