SoE2020 data from the Queensland government's Department of Environment, Science and Innovation identifies 34 major threats impacting threatened flora. The threats affecting the most species are 'inappropriate fire regimes', 'weeds', and 'clearing of vegetation'. Climate change impacts are also identified as a major factor in the risk of extinction for flora species in Queensland.
Use Cases
- Prioritize conservation interventions based on the prevalence of threats like 'inappropriate fire regimes' or 'weeds'.
- Model extinction risk for flora species based on the identified threat factors, including climate change.
- Analyze the co-occurrence of multiple threats, such as vegetation clearing and invasive species, on specific plant populations.
Strengths
- Explicitly identifies 34 distinct major threats to flora.
- Highlights the three most prevalent threats: 'inappropriate fire regimes', 'weeds', and 'clearing of vegetation'.
