This database presents INVEST model outputs for Sierra Nevada, Spain focused on Seasonal Water Yield, Sediment Delivery Ratio, Recreation and tourism and Crop Production.
The objective of building these models with INVEST is to compare these resulting models with locally adjusted models such as the WiMMed hydrological model. The outputs of the 4 selected models are presented in the dataset. In the case of Seasonal Water Yield, the values are presented for each year between 2016 and 2021. In addition, the input layers that were used in the models are included in the inputs folder, especially the local variables (such as study area, shape of subbasins, etc.)
The description of each model and its operation are presented on the Natural Capital Project website:
