N2 - <p>This dataset contains the data and R code used in the manuscript: <em>Effect of Upscaling Nature-Based Coastal Protection on Estuarine Biodiversity Using Foreshores and Transitional Polders</em>.</p><p>The study presents an integrated modeling approach to predict the long-term biodiversity outcomes of nature-based coastal protection schemes in estuarine environments. We employ a Bayesian hierarchical model as a species distribution model to estimate the distributions of plants and benthic animals under varying environmental conditions.</p><p>The dataset includes:</p><ul><li>Species distribution data: Observations of benthos and plant species collected from the Western Scheldt estuary, located in the southwestern Netherlands.</li><li>Environmental variables: Corresponding abiotic factors influencing species distributions.</li><li>R code: Scripts used for data processing, model implementation, and result visualization.</li></ul>
