Motivation

edit

This property will be used to describe the ecosystem type (Q125824188) of coordinate locations and named geographic entities. It is useful for climate modelling, species distribution models, biological invasions and ecological research more generally. This will be broadly useful to Wikidata as it will be possible to describe the ecosystem types contained by given location entries like parks, rivers, towns and forests. Currently, some items use "instance of" or "part of" to link a location to its ecosystem type. We believe that a more specific property will aid in both the entry and retrieval of information on research sites and natural heritage locations. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 14:31, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
