The map shows the projected climatic suitability index for 𝘈𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴 under RCP.8.5 scenario, NUTS2 level. The suitability index of 0 indicates that an area has no favourable environmental conditions for 𝘈𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴 presence whereas an area with an index of 100 is totally suitable. The climatic suitability index is determined by annual rainfall, summer temperatures and January temperatures. For annual rainfall, the suitability is zero when rainfall is lower than 450 mm; maximum suitability is reached when the annual rainfall is higher than 800 mm. For summer temperatures, the suitability is zero when temperatures are lower than 15°C and higher than 30°C, and maximum between 20°C and 25°C. For January temperatures, the suitability is zero when temperatures are lower than - 1°C and maximum when temperatures are higher than 3°C.

Additional information

Note: A suitability index of 0 indicates that an area has no favourable environmental conditions for 𝘈𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴 presence whereas an area with an index of 100 is totally suitable. The climatic suitability index is determined by annual rainfall, summer temperatures and January temperatures. For annual rainfall, the suitability is zero when rainfall is lower than 450 mm; maximum suitability is reached when the annual rainfall is higher than 800 mm. For summer temperatures, the suitability is zero when temperatures are lower than 15°C and higher than 30°C, and maximum between 20°C and 25°C. For January temperatures, the suitability is zero when temperatures are lower than - 1°C and maximum when temperatures are higher than 3°C.
