Abundance patterns of mammals across Russia explained by remotely sensed vegetation productivity and snow indices

Predicting biodiversity responses to global changes requires good models of species' distributions. Both environmental conditions and human activities determine population density patterns. However, quantifying the relationship between wildlife population densities and their underlying environmental conditions across large geographical scales has remained challenging. Our goal was to explain the abundances of mammal species based on their response to several remotely sensed indices including the Dynamic Habitat Indices (DHIs) and the novel Winter Habitat Indices (WHIs).
