Description
The Persistence in the Landscape Project (PLP) produced climate-informed landscape capacity models for 75 threatened species in New South Wales. The dataset includes individual geospatial models for seven bat species across four epochs (1750, 2000, 2030, 2070) based on NARCliM 1.0 climate projections. The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water published these resources.
Use Cases
Identify climate refugia for threatened bat species based on mapped landscape capacity.
Model future habitat suitability for species conservation planning based on projections to 2070.
Analyze changes in landscape capacity for bats from pre-industrial times to the future based on the four time epochs.
Create multi-species conservation priority maps based on the aggregated refugia and landscape capacity data.
Strengths
Models 75 landscape-managed threatened species, including seven specific bat species.
Provides projections across four distinct time epochs (1750, 2000, 2030, 2070).
Includes consensus maps aggregated from 12 different climate models for the 2070 epoch.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
The individual species GeoTIFF files are grouped into large zip files that may take considerable time to download.
Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing solely on New South Wales, Australia.
