Wallace v2.0: Helix climate based habitat suitabililty models for selected plants and animals

Wallace 2.0 uses new temperature time-series data for four RCPs provided by the UK Met Office Hadley Centre UK to model the distributions of plants and animals worldwide. Here we compared our projections to a small subset of plants and animals modelled with the High End Climate Impacts and Extremes (HELIX) projections to provide scientific rigour.
