Erinus alpinus species occurrence dataset species occurrence layer A layer containing data about species ocurrence. 1 species ocurrence set 1 1 An species ocurrence set provides a set of species ocurrences required to generate a disctibution model. tiff dataset A dataset that is represented in TIFF format and provides the location where it can be retrieved, the units of the layers and the type code. unposted scenario A scenario that has not been posted and is composed by some scenario layer and has a JSON experiment specification URL. wcs response A response obtained from a WCS server, including the response manifestation, the experiment specification URL, layer units and type code.
