Switch to "Inspect location" and click a point on the map to see its individual environmental values next to the model's combined suitability score.

How the model works

Each occurrence marker records the temperature, precipitation, elevation and vegetation type found at that exact spot. The model averages those readings into a learned "niche signature" — a typical value and spread for every variable.

Every location on the map is scored on how closely each of its variables matches the learned niche.
The four per-variable scores are combined (geometric mean) into one suitability score — so a place needs a reasonable match on all variables together, not just one.
A spot can look ordinary — or even unusual — on a single variable and still score high overall once every variable is weighed together; that's the point of a multivariate model over a single-factor rule.
