Hi all, What would be the benefit of using the suitability modeler/species distribution modeling tools over the classic intersect/union of vector data for a species (using layers such as land cover, proximity to water, etc.)?

Currently, my company uses the latter method, but I am wondering how the modeling can be applied/if it is more efficient or accurate? Thanks!

Hi, Dan! Thanks for the tip. I didn’t know it worked like that with cross-posting. Appreciate the comment as well about the weights.
