This functor predicts the beta-diversity patterns by using environmental predictors. For more details, see: Ferrier, S., Manion, G., Elith, J., & Richardson, K. (2007). Using generalized dissimilarity modelling to analyse and predict patterns of beta diversity in regional biodiversity assessment.

| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Input Occurences | csv file | Csv file with species occurences (colunms sp, x, y). |
| Predictors | Map Type | Map of predictor variables in geoTiff format. |
| Output folder | Folder | Folder to save outputs. |
| Input Mask | Map Filename Type | The filename of the shape of area of study. |
| Hexagons As Sample Units | Boolean Value Type | Use hexagons as sample units to generate the species data table by location (recommended when data is sparse and with gaps). |
| Hexagon Size | Real Value Type | Value that define size of sample units. |
| Minimum Number Of Samples | Real Value Type | Minimum number of samples in hexagon |
| Project In Another Scenario | Boolean Value Type | Project GDM in another scenario (future or past) |

| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Explained of Model | Real Value Type | Percentage of explanation of model |
| Map | Map Type | Map of GDM prediction |
First, this functor verifies whether there is a valid input in “Possible Map 1”; if not, it chooses “Possible Map 2” as input. It is a convenient way to provide an alternate categorical map in case an execution pipeline does not return a valid data. If “Possible Map 2” is not set, the functor will return a void output.
