EC-M-1.1 v0.6.0 Coming

Species Habitat Suitability HSI

Per-species habitat-suitability scores for IUCN-listed taxa at parcel resolution.

Joins species-distribution models (GBIF + IUCN range maps) with EC-M-1.1's biological-composition dimension. Returns per-species suitability and a aggregate biodiversity-significance score for any parcel.

Twelve-month sample series

A representative parcel under EC-M-1.1, July 2025 through June 2026. The line is the published value at each monthly vintage; the band is the 95% confidence interval. Past vintages are immutable — this same chart, queried in 2040, returns the same values.

How to query

The signal is queried at the canonical /v1/signals/{id} endpoint. Required parameters are a location and an as-of date. The same query replayed in 2040 returns the same value.

curl https://api.earth-signals.com/v1/signals/habitat-suitability \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer es_preview_..." \
  -d "lat=44.4654" \
  -d "lng=-72.6874" \
  -d "as_of=2026-04-30"

Endpoint and tokens shown for spec illustration. The Earth Signals API is in private beta with named design partners; the underlying Earth API and Calculator API are live.

The full parameter table — point query, parcel id, polygon aggregation, methodology pinning — is in the API reference.
