BetaBetaDataset
To quantify the impact of these human-induced stressors on human water security and riverine biodiversity.
All data are provided in 30' latitude-longitude (i.e., 0.5° degree) gridded format in the Geographic projection.
Incident and adjusted threat consist of: incident biodiversity threat, incident human water security threat, investment benefits factor, adjusted human water stress and patterns of threat. Driver scores are: cropland, impervious surfaces, livestock density, wetland disconnectivity, soil salination, Nitrogen loading, Phosphorous loading, Mercury deposition, pesticide loading, organic loading, sediment loading, potential acidification, thermal alteration, dam density, river fragmentation, consumptive water loss, human water stress, agricultural water stress, flow disruption, fish pressure, non-native fishes and aquaculture pressure.
Geospatial driver values converted into standardized driver scores needed to calculate the aggregate Human Water Security and Biodiversity threat indices.
