Native Vegetation Regulation (2013) Strategic Biodiversity Score version 3

dataset: NVR2013_SBS_V3
Obsolete. This is the updated version of NVR2013_SBS_V2. The NaturePrint Strategic Biodiversity Values dataset is an objective, comprehensive and spatially explicit view of strategic biodiversity values. This dataset does more than just recognise the presence of significant biodiversity characteristics at each site, it identifies the value of a site relative to the value of all other Victorian locations. DEPI's NaturePrint initiative coordinates the development and application of datasets and techniques to enable this view. Ideally, these analyses would be based on complete information on all biodiversity and relevant ecological considerations at all places in Victoria. Given this level of information is not available, the NaturePrint approach relies on robust modelling and extrapolation from available primary data. For use on the native vegetation permitted clearing regulations, the Strategic Biodiversity Value ranking is converted to a score that enables the strategic importance of different locations to be directly compared in numerical terms (e.g. such that a location with a score of 0.4 can be considered to be twice the strategic value of a location with a score of 0.2). Version 3 of this data set is used to determine the Strategic Biodiversity Value of potential loss for the purposes of the permitted clearing regulations.

Use limitation
. 'NVR2013_SBS_V3' is used in Mapshare, and is the exact same data used in NVIM as 'NVR2013_SBS_V2a', which is different from 'NVR2013_SBS_V2'. Version number was changed not to confuse users in Mapshare.

Supplemental Information
Current Design Issues: Post processing to create Strategic Biodiversity Score The NaturePrint ranking was squared to generate a Strategic Biodiversity Score. Areas with values below 0.10 in NVR2013_SBS_V3 have been assigned a value of 0.10. Future Design Issues: None Proposed Related Documents: None

Excess Data
Continuous grid attributes of 0.01 - 1.00 where 1.0 is the highest Strategic biodiversity score and 0.01 is the lowest. Post processing to create Strategic Biodiversity Score The NaturePrint ranking was squared to generate a Strategic Biodiversity Score. Areas with values below 0.10 in NVR2013_SBS_V3 have been assigned a value of 0.10. 
Attribute Quality
Locations can be directly compared in numerical terms, for example, a location with a score of 0.4 can be considered to be twice the strategic value of a location with a score of 0.2. Post processing to create Strategic Biodiversity Score The NaturePrint ranking was squared to generate a Strategic Biodiversity Score. Areas with values below 0.10 in NVR2013_SBS_V3 have been assigned a value of 0.10.

Description
NaturePrint uses Zonation conservation planning software to identify the relative value of all locations combining information on many different types of biodiversity and aiming for efficient and effective spatial coverage. The analysis is bottom-up and iterative. The lowest rank (i.e. the place which is the most degraded and poorly located example of the most common biodiversity type) is chosen first, then the analysis is rerun to identify the next lowest contribution. This enables the progressive identification of the most consolidated spatial configuration whilst ensuring simultaneous and equitable consideration of good options for each individual value. The analysis places all locations on a continuous spectrum of relative overall value, but does not identify how much of this spectrum can or should be managed for conservation. Post Processing to create Strategic Biodiversity Score The NaturePrint ranking was squared to generate a Strategic Biodiversity Score. Areas with values below 0.10 in NVR2013_SBS_V2 have been assigned a value of 0.10.
