Terrestrial Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem (GDE) Density and Biodiversity Value

dataset: GDE_TERR_DENSITY_BIOD
This dataset is based on two primary inputs: (1) the Potential Terrestrial Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem (GDE) mapping undertaken by Dresel et al. (2010). See separate metadata record for GDE_TERR_DENSITY, and: (2) Natureprint V2.0 (DSE, 2011). NPv2 is a ranked surface of biodiversity values across Victoria implemented within the reserve design and spatial conservation prioritisation software package 'Zonation'. NPv2 attempts to efficiently rank places within Victoria in terms of their capacity to support multiple conservation assets while considering complementarity, landscape context and ecosystem integrity. NPv2 ranks birodiversity value on the following scale: 0 - Low Biodiversity Value --> 7 - High Biodiversity Value. Values of 55 & 66 relate to artificial impoundment and wetland habitat and were considere to equal 0 for the purpose of ranking terrestrial biodiversity value.

Terrestrial Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem (GDE) Density and Biodiversity Value

Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action
 

Description

Title
Terrestrial Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem (GDE) Density and Biodiversity Value 
Alternate title
GDE_TERR_DENSITY_BIOD 
Purpose
The GDE density grid was intersected with the Natureprint Biodiversity grid - such that a gridded dataset of density_value was generated (i.e. GDE_Dent_Value).
