    This is the compressed Shapefile (ESRI) from the MARXAN optimization with 2216 rows (objects) and 18 columns (variables) with sf (simple feature) and data frame classes. Column description: X01 = Planning_units (PUs) X02 = incl.OS. number of times pu was selected in MARXAN when optimized for ecological costs X03 = incl.OS. number of times pu was selected in MARXAN when optimized for social costs X04 = incl.OS. ecological costs (ECUess) of pu when realizing the total energy (normalized) X05 = incl.OS. social costs (ECUsoc) of pu when realizing the total energy (normalized) X06 = incl.OS. total energy (MWh/a) X07 = incl.OS. energy from roof-mounted PV infrastructure (MWh/a) X08 = incl.OS. energy from wind turbines (MWh/a) X09 = incl.OS. energy from ground-mounted PV infrastructure (MWh/a) X10 = excl.OS. number of times pu was selected in MARXAN when optimized for ecological costs X11 = excl.OS. number of times pu was selected in MARXAN when optimized for social costs X12 = excl.OS. ecological costs (ECUess) of pu when realizing the total energy (normalized) X13 = excl.OS. social costs (ECUsoc) of pu when realizing the total energy (normalized) X14 = excl.OS. total energy (MWh/a) X15 = excl.OS. energy from roof-mounted PV infrastructure (MWh/a) X16 = excl.OS. energy from wind turbines (MWh/a) X17 = excl.OS. energy from ground-mounted PV infrastructure (MWh/a) geometry = Simple feature XY geometry (SFC_POINT) each representing the center of a 4x4km planning unit (PU) in EPSG 21781 (CRS CH1903 / LV03).
