Occurrence data

Occurrence data refers to information about the specific locations and times where a particular event or phenomenon has been observed or recorded. In fields like ecology, wildlife management, or environmental science, it tracks where and when species or environmental conditions are detected. This data helps scientists understand patterns, distributions, and changes over time, informing decisions and conservation efforts. Essentially, it’s a record of “where and when something happened,” providing valuable insights into the presence or behavior of living organisms or environmental factors across different areas.
