Climate informed modelling of landscape managed threatened species

Modelling of landscape capacity for 76 landscape-managed NSW threatened species.

Landscape capacity is a measure of how usable habitat is for supporting populations based on the quality of habitat and how easily species can move across the landscape to access sufficient resources to support a population. This project maps climate-informed landscape capacity. This mapping shows how well NSW landscapes can support fauna populations into future climate. The location of climate refugia are identified. These are areas that support species populations through time, from pre-industrial times and into the future.

Two page species forecasts summarise results for each species.

Each species model is projected into NARCliM (v1.0) climate futures. The dataset comprises: individual models for 1750, 2000, 2030 and 2070 epochs; 'consensus' maps across 12 climate models for 2070; and multi-species refugia and landscape capacity across time maps (for the 76 threatened species, and also including site-managed species here).

The individual species geotiff files are grouped into zip files which are large and may take considerable time to download.

These resources are outputs of the Persistence in the Landscape Project (PLP).

The methods and descriptions of outputs are provided in the DRAFT project report, also provided here.
