Mapping abundance distributions of allergenic tree species in urbanized landscapes: A nation-wide study for Belgium using forest inventory and citizen science data
science data. Following a two-step approach, we first built species distribution models (SDM s) to predict species habitat suitability, using environmental characteristics as predictors. Second, we used ...
