Species distribution models (SDMs) are developed for nine major vascular plant taxa native to Macquarie Island, based on field data (point locations with three categories for each taxon: presence/ less than 25% foliage cover / greater than 25% cover). Spatial models of total range and core range (where the taxon is a dominant feature of the vegetation) for each taxon were used to predict the distribution of vegetation communities.
