Run Maxent using R to automate everything (model settings, creation and use of a bias file)

Please consider subscribing to my channel by hitting the "Subscribe" button. It is absolutely free and there are no charges.

I have created a single R script to automate almost every step of performing species distribution modeling using Maxent. The script even runs Maxent for you. No more running ENMEvaluate separately to find the right model settings, and then inputing them into Maxent. No more hassle creating a bias file and then trying to incorporate it into Maxent on your own (I know a lot of you have trouble with this).

With this script, all you need are your species occurrence points, your environmental layers, and the R script. The whole process is automated for you, from choosing the model settings, making the bias file, and feeding all this information into Maxent and then running Maxent.

As an added bonus, you can also use this script to automatically forecast your results into the future!

Thank you for the excellent video, I have a question for you. I have a set of points (15) where samples containing different bryophyte species have been collected. My question is whether it is possible to estimate SDM using only these points. The scale is an island.

Hello, does it includes tutorial for partition = block method?

Hey. First I want to thank you very much. Unfortunately, I get some errors when it runs the enmevaluate function in parallel. Memory errors and my PC shutted down one time (32Gb RAM, Ryzen 7 3700x). Do you have any idea? I am working in windows 11.
