Natural Values Atlas data provides point locations and attributes for over 20,000 Tasmanian species. The dataset, maintained by the Tasmania Government's The List Data, includes observations for plants, animals, and threatened species, searchable by name, location, date, and other criteria. It also contains habitat mapping for high-priority fauna and links to management documents like recovery plans.
Use Cases
- Model species distribution and habitat suitability based on point location data.
- Analyze conservation status and trends for threatened species based on listed attributes.
- Search and filter observation records by date, location, or project for specific research queries.
- Integrate habitat mapping data for high-priority fauna species into spatial planning.
Strengths
- Covers over 20,000 Tasmanian species.
- Includes point location data (Eastings and Northings) for spatial analysis.
- Provides access to management documents like listing statements and recovery plans.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Habitat mapping is described as available for a limited number of species.
