This heat map corresponds to the OECM biodiversity value "Rare, threatened or endangered species and habitats, and the ecosystems that support them, including species and sites identified on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, Red List of Ecosystems, or national equivalents". Species and habitats which contribute to this layer were chosen based off of red lists, and other relevant Scottish or British lists, and weighted accordingly. The methodology uses a 1km x 1km grid across Scotland. Each species and habitat present in each grid square contribute to a final score for that grid square with their assigned weighting. Weights are added up for all species and habitats present in each square, only contributing to the value once if present, but a lack of presence for any species/habitat does not detract from the final score for a grid square. This gives each grid square a numeric value which relates to the contribution from that area to the corresponding biodiversity value. The BBL is going to be one tool which helps to inform decisions around 30x30, along with other tools and ground truthing of BBL outputs. It will provide a starting point, indicative of where we should explore for land which could potentially contribute to 30x30. This is caveated by data availability. If a BBL map shows an area of land to be contributing to a biodiversity value, then this is because the data is available for this land, and at some point the area has had attributes (species/habitats/other relevant data) which make it good for said biodiversity value. This indicates that areas could be good for this biodiversity value, and that an area should then be explored to realise this potential. On the flipside of this, are areas which do not come out as strong for a given biodiversity value. This would indicate that there is no data to suggest that this area contributes to the biodiversity value, but doesn't mean that it has no biodiversity value. There could be good biodiversity in the area, but a lack of surveys/visitors recording data, and thus it doesn't come out as high value on the BBL. These caveats should be kept in mind when using the BBL, and it should be used as a tool to inform decisions along with other evidence, and not alone.PA30X30BBL1WCSGeoTIFFhabitatsandspecies__pa30x30bbl1RectifiedGridCoverage5513.0 530310.0470513.0 1220310.0-9.229884599308031 54.5139477825364-0.703856784967519 60.8629129513612530 x 30 Big Biodiversity Layer TwoThis is the second heat map for the Big Biodiversity Layer project. This heat map corresponds to the Nature30 biodiversity value "Near natural and recovering ecosystems that are underrepresented in the Protected Areas suite". Habitats have been used as a proxy for ecosystems to map this value, as habitat areas across Scotland and within the Protected Areas suite could be estimated, to identify those which are currently underrepresented. Percentages were estimated for the proportion of each habitat type which is currently protected, and for the proportion of Protected Areas which are covered by each habitat type. Based on a combination of these two percentages, each habitat was assigned a weighting to correspond with how well represented the habitat is currently. Lower weightings equal a habitat type with better representation currently, and higher weightings equal a habitat type which is not as well protected currently.PA30X30BBL2WCSGeoTIFFhabitatsandspecies__pa30x30bbl2RectifiedGridCoverage5513.0 529310.0470513.0 1220310.0-9.229884599308031 54.505011771568455-0.703856784967519 60.86291295136125HabMoS EUNIS Base layerEUNIS level 1 habitat map of Scotlandhabmos_eunis_baseWCSGeoTIFFhabitatsandspecies__habmos_eunis_baseRectifiedGridCoverage5513.004 530237.9470333.004 1220317.9-9.230669667114759 54.513298928903076-0.7071531923195226 60.862962423763605Habitat and Land Cover Map 2019HLCM_2019WCSGeoTIFFhabitatsandspecies__HLCM_2019RectifiedGridCoverage5480.000118403 530219.99960375470359.999978941 1220319.99960375-9.231273024093616 54.51311331214972-0.7066556342870869 60.86298266132596Habitat and Land Cover Map 2020HLCM_2020WCSGeoTIFFhabitatsandspecies__HLCM_2020RectifiedGridCoverage5480.000118403 530219.99960375470359.999978941 1220319.99960375-9.231273024093616 54.51311331214972-0.7066556342870869 60.86298266132596Habitat and Land Cover Map 2022 EUNIS Level 1HLCM_2022_EUNIS_LEVEL1WCSGeoTIFFhabitatsandspecies__HLCM_2022_EUNIS_LEVEL1RectifiedGridCoverage5480.0 530220.0470360.0 1220340.0-9.231313192073657 54.51311331559853-0.7066483773591569 60.86316220182583Habitat and Land Cover Map 2022 EUNIS Level 2HLCM_2022_EUNIS_LEVEL2WCSGeoTIFFhabitatsandspecies__HLCM_2022_EUNIS_LEVEL2RectifiedGridCoverage5480.0 530220.0470360.0 1220340.0-9.231313192073657 54.51311331559853-0.7066483773591569 60.86316220182583Habitat and Land Cover Map Change 2019-2020HLCM_2019_2020_CHANGEWCSGeoTIFFhabitatsandspecies__HLCM_2019_2020_CHANGERectifiedGridCoverage5520.000118390951 530239.999949179470339.99997894594 1220299.999603745-9.230506717458399 54.51332313297066-0.70703094076871 60.86280254517358Habitat and Land Cover Map Change 2020-2022HLCM_2020_2022_CHANGEWCSGeoTIFFhabitatsandspecies__HLCM_2020_2022_CHANGERectifiedGridCoverage5480.0 530220.0470360.0 1220340.0-9.231313192073657 54.51311331559853-0.7066483773591569 60.86316220182583
