Supplementary Material for SEALS v2.0 Land Use Projection Study

The supplement details the parameters and spatial inputs of the SEALS v2.0 model, including a resolution pyramid, calibration loss illustration, full habitat‑quality validation, comparison with related downscaling models, and discussion of limitations and extensions. It describes calibration using the ESA 2000 land‑use map to match the 2015 ESA map, out‑of‑sample assessment on the 2020 map, and application of SSP‑RCP changes to the 2015 map for 2030, 2050, 2070, and 2100, with spatial‑suitability variables listed in Table S1 and adjacency effects modeled at two scales.

Why it matters

The detailed calibration and validation methods support Swiss AI research into spatially explicit land‑use forecasting and ecosystem service assessment.
