Assessment of drivers of habitat heterogeneity in a savanna ecosystem : Rao's Q and predictor variables
This dataset contains the Rao's Q values of each pixel (465 m x 465 m) covering the Kruger National Park. Each pixel also contains a value for each predictor variable (~ 12 variables). Var Rao's Q - variation in Rao's Q (Temporal heterogeneity) and Average Rao's Q - mean Rao's Q (Spatial heterogeneity).
