description: This data package includes two related data files that can be used as input for habitat network analyses on amphibians using a specific habitat network analysis tool (HNAT; v0.1.2-alpha): 1. AmphibianHabitatNetwork_Parameters.xlsx 2. BiotopeMap_GothenburgRegion_withPondsRoadsAndBuildings.tif HNAT is a plugin for the open-source Geographic Information System QGIS (https://qgis.org/en/site/). HNAT can be downloaded at https://github.com/SMoG-Chalmers/hnat/releases/tag/v0.1.2-alpha. To run the habitat network analyses based on the input data provided in this package one must install the plugin HNAT into QGIS. This software has been created by Chalmers within a research project financed by the Swedish government research council for sustainable development, Formas (FR -2021/0004), within the framework of the national research program "From research to implementation for a sustainable society 2021". The Excel-file contains the parameters for amphibians and the GeoTiff-file is representing a biotope raster map covering the Gothenburg region in western Sweden. SRID=3006 (Sweref99 TM). Pixel size =10x10 metres. The pixel values of the biotope map correspond to the biotope codes listed in the in the parameter file (see column “BiotopeCode”). For each biotope the parameter file holds biotope specific parameter values for two alternative amphibian models denoted “Amphibians_NMDWater_ponds” and Amphibians_NMDWater_ponds_NoFriction”. The two alternative parameter settings can be used to demonstrate the difference in model prediction with or without the assumption that amphibian movements are affected by barrier effects caused by roads, buildings and certain biotopes biotope types. The “NoFriction” version assumes that amphibian dispersal probability declines exponentially with increasing Euclidian distance whereas the other set assumes dispersal to be affected by barriers. Read the readme file for details on each parameter provided in the parameter file. The GeoTiff-file is a bi…
