Fundamental niche of the trees in mangroves forests

The methodology consists in collecting biotic and abiotic information in the mangrove, integrate it in a Geographical Information System (GIS) and analyse this information in the light of species distribution modelling. In species distribution modelling two sets of input data are required: occurrence data and spatial information on the environmental characteristics of the species habitats. The species distribution modelling techniques are widely used by researches in rainforests.
