High resolution mapping of population change in breeding birds in Wallonia (Southern Belgium)

Patterns of fine-scale change in bird abundance across different landscapes may inform about the driving forces behind bird communities evolution. We compare km²-resolution map of breeding birds in Wallonia (Southern Belgium) at 10 years interval. The maps are based on repeated sampling transects conducted inside a km²-grid. Spatial modelling techniques were applied on these two dataset using environmental variables produced by the LifeWatch-WB Project. Variables are issued from pixel-based land cover classification of orthophoto mapping and satellite images, with a resolution of 2 meters and... Mehr ...
