UK maps of habitat suitability surfaces at 1km resolution for mammals, lichens, bryophytes, plants and invertebrates 2000-2015

The dataset comprises one 1km habitat suitability surface for each of 5073 species of vascular plant, mammal, bryophyte, lichen, insect and non-insect invertebrate. The outputs are provided as .asc files denoting habitat suitability at a spatial resolution of 1km. The map projection is OSGB 1936 (EPSG:27700).
