Layers List - Preliminary

This is a list of possible data layers, along with some key fields to fill in (availability, spatial resolution and extent, temporal resolution and extent). This is not an exhaustive list. It was generated at an EOL-sponsored BioSync working group meeting for the Map of Life project. Listed here for convenience as text but I will post the excel spreadsheet as well.
