- Title
HABITAT CLASSIFICATION MODELING WITH INCOMPLETE DATA: PUSHING THE HABITAT ENVELOPE.

- Abstract
The article presents a study that incorporates biological knowledge of the species-habitat relationship into pseudo-absence points by creating habitat envelopes for species-habitat assessment in the U.S. The lack absence information in the species occurrence data prevents the use of robust statistical techniques for habitat classification models (HCM). The study defined habitat envelope as an ecological representation of a species, species feature's or observed distribution based on a single or multiple attributes. The habitat envelope-based models surpassed null envelope models, indicating that integrating biological knowledge into pseudo-absence point generation is a significant tool for species assessment.
