Habitability has been generally defined as the capability of an environment to support life.Ecologists have been using Habitat Suitability Models (HSMs) for more than four decades to study the habitability of Earth from local to global scales.Astrobiologists have been proposing different habitability models for some time, with little integration and consistency between them and different in function to those used by ecologists.In this white paper, we suggest a mass-energy habitability model as an example of how to adapt and expand the models used by ecologists to the astrobiology field.We propose to implement these models into a NASA Habitability Standard (NHS) to standardize the habitability objectives of planetary missions.These standards will help to compare and characterize potentially habitable environments, prioritize target selections, and study correlations between habitability and biosignatures.Habitability models are the foundation of planetary habitability science.The synergy between the methods used by ecologists and astrobiologists will help to integrate and expand our understanding of the habitability of Earth, the Solar System, and exoplanets.
