The values are typically classified logarithmically: 1, 10, 100, 1000... Alternatively, the exact reported coordinate uncertainty is used if available. For occurrences reported in WGS84 coordinates outside Finland, the calculation is based on the decimal difference of the bounding box edges. |

In some datasets, the geometry may represent the exact area where the taxon was observed (look for accurateArea: true in Additional Attributes), while in others it may only describe the broader area within which the occurrences took place. |
