Hello Sunita,
Thanks for your interest in MGET. The predictive modeling tools are species
and system agnostic. You can use them to model terrestrial plant
distributions. Basically, MGET's tools are a wrapper around R packages that
make them easier to use from ArcGIS or Python code. Since we are a marine
lab, we mainly advertise MGET to the marine community, but it has been used
outside the community as well. The most unusual application I have seen was
someone doing an archeological study that modeled the distribution of
Neolithic human settlements in Poland. Here is one example of a terrestrial
plant study: http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/abs/10.1139/x11-061.
Best regards,
Jason

Hello,
I am a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati in Biological
Sciences studying species distributions. Recently, I saw someone present a
talk at the Association of American Geographers meeting using MGET and was
wondering if I could use your program for terrestrial plant distributions or
whether it is only for marine systems. I am interested to use your species
distribution modelling feature using gam predictive models and the species I
am studying grows along coastal areas. If you need more information, please
let me know.
Thank you for your help.
