Living England
Benefits
National scale field data collection is expensive, resource intensive, access restrictive and not readily updatable. This project and the Living England tool allows us to take advantage of openly available satellite imagery to predictively model habitat presence given habitat labelled data collected through our ground datasets and their relationships with environmental variables. This is beneficial to traditional processes as it is cost-effective, reproducible and transparent, and can be readily updated providing full coverage across England. With this approach we can monitor habitats in the landscape and how they are changing over time.
