The R code might not run on your machine, which could be due to various reasons. Most importantly, the examples in this book refer to the MS Windows operating systems mainly. There can be quite some difference between MS Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, although the same functionality should be available on both MS Windows and Linux machines. SAGA GIS is not available for Mac OS X, hence you will need to use a PC with a dual boot system to follow these exercises.

The methods used in this book were developed in the context of the EcoGRID and LifeWatch projects. EcoGRID (analysis and visualization tools for the Dutch Flora and Fauna database) is a national project managed by the Dutch data authority on Nature (Gegevensautoriteit Natuur) and financed by the Dutch ministry of Agriculture (LNV). LifeWatch (e-Science and Technology Infrastructure for Biodiversity Research) is a European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) project, and is partially funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Programme under number 211372. The role of the ESFRI is to support a coherent approach to policy-making on research infrastructures in Europe, and to act as an incubator for international negotiations about concrete initiatives.
