Service Description: The Criterion 2: Ecological representativeness v1.0 raster (250 m resolution) represents relative scores across terrestrial Australia categorised into percentile-based thresholds that highlight areas that have comparatively low representation and/or protection status. It was generated using a reproducible MCDA workflow implemented in Python and ArcGIS Pro. The workflow includes: Criterion 2: Applied Comprehensive, Adequate and Representative (CAR) principles to assess ecosystem representation and protection across IBRA regions using National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) MVGs and the Collaborative Australia Protected Areas Database. The final raster reflects areas where this criterion is met with scores out of 1000 and protected areas masked (assigned value of 4000). Higher scores (between 0 to 1000) equate to areas that have low ecological representativeness and/or protection in current protected areas. Identifying biodiversity value and potential to enhance the representativeness of Australia’s Protected Areas using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Version 1.0. that describes the data and methods is available at: https://erin.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=6510ec40d81c43cda8d44e86b81adce2Criterion 2 Inputs: Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia - Regions Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia - Subregions National Vegetation Information System Pre -1750 MVG (100m) National Vegetation Information System Extant MVG (100m) Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database - Terrestrial Caveats The analysis only uses national data, which may have variable quality and availability across the country. Some of this data is derived from models with their own inherent uncertainty and levels of accuracy that should be considered when using this output. Outputs of this analysis should be considered alongside regional and/or local scale information, particularly when incorporated in the decision-making process. Species distribution models were used to derive multiple input datasets used in this analysis (e.g. species density and regional endemism). These datasets represent different information and use different methodology to derive results. This analysis uses the published Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database 2024, which does not include areas protected since 30 June 2024. There are caveats associated with the datasets used in this analysis. Please refer to individual datasets for further information.
