SABINA is a research group focused on the multidisciplinary integration of various disciplines such as spatial ecology, biostatistics, predictive modeling, botany, and forest management. The outcome of this integration includes conceptual, methodological, and applied contributions across different research fields such as biogeography, bioinformatics, conservation biology, ecology, the effects of climate change on biodiversity, macroecology, ecological restoration, and more. Currently, we are developing innovative ecological models by combining different methodologies (Bayesian statistics, graph theory, etc.) and data at various scales (hierarchical models), which can be applied to improve species distribution atlases, climate change vulnerability studies, ecological connectivity analyses, and to design ecological restoration and conservation plans.
A Wide Range of Geographic Information
One of the main objectives of SABINA is to disseminate the results of our research and make the generated data available to the scientific community, as well as to managers, government technicians, and the general public. To achieve this, we have developed a comprehensive geoportal that allows access to and exploration of the information from two of the projects we are currently carrying out. If you would like to learn more about the methodology used in each project, we invite you to visit the projects section on this website.
The geoportal offers a wide range of geographic information organized around the following projects:
Proyecto NEXTDIVE
Additionally, the project will soon include an analysis of ecological connectivity for the Iberian Peninsula. This analysis evaluates the spatial interactions between different areas and ecological corridors, providing valuable information for planning conservation and restoration measures that promote ecosystem connectivity.
El geoportal también ofrece predicciones de distribución potencial para diversas especies forestales ibéricas, tanto árboles como arbustos, en una resolución espacial más detallada de 250 m. Estas predicciones permiten realizar búsquedas especiales por regiones, lo que resulta especialmente útil para identificar las especies más idóneas en el contexto de un plan de restauración ecológica. De esta manera, los gestores y técnicos pueden tomar decisiones informadas y adaptadas a las condiciones locales para promover la recuperación y conservación de los ecosistemas forestales.
Adicionalmente, el proyecto incluye un análisis de conectividad ecológica para la Península Ibérica. Este análisis evalúa las interacciones espaciales entre diferentes áreas y corredores ecológicos, proporcionando información valiosa para la planificación de medidas de conservación y restauración que promuevan la conectividad de los ecosistemas.
Proyecto Connect2Restore
In summary, our geoportal is a powerful and accessible tool for exploring the geographic information generated in the NEXTDIVE and Connect2Restore projects. We invite you to use this platform to access data, download available files, and perform spatial queries that can contribute to your research, environmental management, or general knowledge of biodiversity and the effects of climate change in the Iberian Peninsula.
