MD-WERP Theme: Environmental Outcomes
MD-WERP Research question: How can we best prioritise water-dependent ecosystems for management to ensure representative populations and communities of native biota are protected and restored?
Project title: A data atlas for conservation prioritisation
Research Lead: Griffith University
Authors: Jenna Wraith, Ali Chauvenet and Mark Kennard
The MD-WERP program encompasses several projects that utilise spatial datasets for analysis. To maintain transparency and reproducibility, a comprehensive spatial geodatabase is included, containing the data from project on Basin wide conservation prioritisation.
The user guide aims to assist users in accessing data within the spatial geodatabase and conducting analysis effectively. Its purpose is to provide step-by-step instructions and guidance for users to navigate and utilise the data for their analytical needs.
The data within these databases were used in the following reports:
-
Wraith, J., Chauvenet, JA and Kennard, M (2023). Conservation Prioritisation for the Murray-Darling Basin: Representation Gap Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment. MD-WERP Deliverable T3.10.2, Griffith University, Australia.
