Table BF Index BIOEUNIS contains the bee-friendliness index (BF Index) that corresponds to the contribution of each plant species in terms of bee-friendliness within a particular BIOEUNIS habitat (see Deliverable D3.1. section 2.4 of Methodology for further details). The BF index was calculated as the multiplication of the BF Value by occurrence and by average cover, i.e. BF Index = BF Value x Occurrence x Average cover. The higher the BF index, the greater the contribution of a plant species in terms of bee-friendliness within the habitat. This sheet has 7998 plant species (like the Species BF Value sheet) present at each EUNIS terrestrial Level 2 habitat. It is organized so the rows correspond to the plant species and the columns represent each BIOEUNIS terrestrial Level 2 habitat that is spatially explicitly defined at the EU scale in the Ecosystem Type Map (ETM) v3.1 (Weiss and Banko, 2018) and sub divided by Biogeographical regions (EEA, 2016) and that is defined in terms of vegetation composition.
