Bio-ORACLE offers essential physical, chemical, biological and topographic data layers with global extent and uniform resolution for modelling the distribution of marine biodiversity.
Bio-ORACLE provides essential physical, chemical and biological data layers for both surface and benthic marine realms.
The data are available globally at a spatial resolution of 0.05 degrees (approximately 5.5 km at the equator).
The Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenarios of CMIP6 are provided to model the implications of future changes.
The layers can be used in Species Distribution Modelling to predict the distribution of biodiversity, address niche-based questions, unravel biogeographic patterns, and support the conservation of global marine biodiversity at the global.
The availability of data under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenarios of CMIP6 allows projecting the implications of future change to marine biodiversity, contributing to inform climate policy.
