Microclimate dataset of the SAFE project landscape

Data was used to model the number of yearly life-cycle completions (LCC/year) of the disease vector Aedes Albopictus in order to study the impact of deforestation for oil palm plantation on microclimate-driven vector suitability. Dataset contains stacked raster files with a 50-meter grid cell resolution (n = 145,214 grid cells, equivalent to approximately 363 km2).

Microclimate data were projected using LiDAR-derived DEM, CHM and point cloud-derived metrics, combined with microclimatic data from dataloggers, as inputs (see associated doi for more information: Jucker et al (2018)).
