The resource is published by NASA GRACE Tellus. This data set
reflects on potential drought conditions in the shallow groundwater section
relative to a reference period spanning from 1948 to 2012.
It is available as a global raster with a weekly temporal resolution starting
with the year 2003. The value indicates the wetness percentile of a given
pixel with regard to the reference period.

Biodiversity areas, especially primary forest, serve a
multitude of functions for local economy, regional functionality of
the ecosystems as well as the global health of our planet. Recently,
adverse changes in human land use practices and climatic responses to
increased greenhouse gas emissions, put these biodiversity areas under
a variety of different threats. The present package helps to analyse a
number of biodiversity indicators based on freely available
geographical datasets. It supports computational efficient routines
that allow the analysis of potentially global biodiversity portfolios.
The primary use case of the package is to support evidence based
reporting of an organization's effort to protect biodiversity areas
under threat and to identify regions were intervention is most duly
needed.
