The rarity-weighted richness for each species within a grid cell was calculated as the contribution of the cell toward the global distribution of the species. These scores were summed across all species present within a grid cell to give an overall score. High values show that a cell holds a large number of species and/or that the average ranges of the species present in the cell are small so that the cell represents a relatively high proportion of their range. Loss of species’ populations in such cells is therefore of disproportionate significance in terms of loss of global biodiversity (at least for the taxonomic groups considered). Rarity-weighted richness is also known as “range-size rarity” or “range rarity” and has been used as a metric of biodiversity significance as well as feeding into the Biodiversity Impact Metric.
