Tackling the current global biodiversity crisis requires large-scale spatially accurate data to rapidly assess knowledge gaps and set conservation priorities. Obtaining such is often challenging because surveying across broad spatial scales massive logistical economic efforts. Here, we provide high-resolution (0.81 81 km2, depending on species ecology) habitat suitability raster maps for all 225 widespread breeding bird in Italy. Maps were generated by means of distribution models based ~2.5 million (≤1 km-scale) expert-validated occurrence records. Occurrence collected during seasons 2010-2016 over 3000 skilled observers, mostly through Ornitho.it web platform, with aim realizing second Atlas Breeding Birds Italy, released 2022. These will be useful ecologists, scientists practitioners investigating patterns avian diversity identifying We discuss potential applications this dataset inferring composition ecological communities distributions at Italian scale.
