Abstract
In this Deliverable, the outputs from the BESTMAP biodiversity and ESS models, necessary for this Deliverable, are briefly described. Second, the data used for meta-modelling is listed. Third, the process behind meta-modelling - the main focus of this Deliverable - is described in detail, specifying the logic of the technique, the steps that were taken within the context of this work, and how the models were fitted and tested. Fourth, we present the results of the meta-models in terms of the number of times different predictors were significant, to give an idea of the important predictors. Finally, the challenges that were faced are discussed, as well as the final potential uses for the outputs.
