Summary

This dataset contains 6 habitat networks (grassland, heathland, bog and fen, pond, wetland, and woodland), each of which are provided as a set of 10 x 10km tiles with coverage across the whole of Scotland. If a tile is not provided, no network is present.Each network is the result of a cost-distance analysis for generic focal species. This analysis used the Natural Capital Tool's habitat baseline, along with permeability scores taken from the EcoServ-GIS methodology & SNH Research Report 887. In addition, a minimum patch size (0.1 ha) was set. The analysis was run using three maximim dispersal distances, representing 'high', 'medium', and 'low' dispersal for the generic focal species, which are coded in the raster as 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The different extents are nested: 'low' is wholly contained within both 'medium' and 'high', and 'medium' is wholly contained within 'high'.
