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).

Provenance & quality
The habitat suitability surfaces represent the average predictions from three species distribution modelling algorithms. The models were fitted to opportunistically collected species occurrence data. Predictors include 25 land cover, climate and topographic covariates.
