Climate Change Corridors (Coastal Habitat) for North East NSW

The data integrates best available information to delineate broad wildlife corridors, for fauna occupying cooastal habitat, along climatic gradients. The objective of the layer is to best delineate large-scale wildlife corridors that are significant for wildlife adaptation to the threatening processes of climate change. The work has been based on key habitats (Scotts, 2003), vegetation mapping layers, NSW Wildlife Atlas, VIS Flora records, recent aerial photography and recent outputs from the 'Spatial Links' tool (Drielsma et al, 2007) to represent areas of the landscape that contain high conservation values and fauna corridor values for a coastal assemblage of fauna.

本数据集整合现有最优信息，旨在勾勒沿海生境动物类群沿气候梯度分布的广谱野生动物廊道。本数据图层的核心目标是精准界定对动物类群适应气候变化胁迫过程具有关键意义的大规模野生动物廊道。本研究依托关键生境（Scotts, 2003）、植被制图图层、新南威尔士州（New South Wales）野生动物图集、VIS植物区系记录、最新航空摄影数据，以及空间关联（Spatial Links）工具（Drielsma等, 2007）的最新输出成果，用以表征兼具高保护价值与沿海动物类群野生动物廊道价值的景观区域。
