National Restoration Analysis Results

The file "NationalRestorationAnalysisHexbins" represents the output data file from WWF-Canada's assessment of the relative priority of restoring converted landscapes based on potential to store carbon over the long term, as well as enhance biodiversity through habitat provisioning. <br> The results are represented at the 100km^2 hexbins with the following fields. T_Carbon_P = Estimated net potential of converted lands in the hexbin to store carbon following complete restoration B_Carbon_P = Estimated net potential of converted lands in the hexbin to store carbon in biomass following complete restoration S_Carbon_P = Estimated net potential of converted lands in the hexbin to store carbon in soil following complete restoration E_STARr_P = Cumulative STARr metric calculated for all endangered taxa in the hexbin* T_STARr_P = Cumulative STARr metric calcualted for all taxa in the hexbin* LC_Wetland = Estimated area of converted lands in the hexbin which would natural support wetland habitat in km^2 LC_Forest = Estimated area of converted lands in the hexbin which would natural support forest habitat in km^2 LC_Grassla = Estimated area of converted lands in the hexbin which would natural support grassland habitat in km^2 LC_Shrubla = Estimated area of converted lands in the hexbin which would natural support shrubland habitat in km^2 LC_Lichen = Estimated area of converted lands in the hexbin which would natural support exposed lichen habitat in km^2 LC_Barren = Estimated area of converted lands in the hexbin which would natural support exposed barren habitat in km^2 Hexbin_are = Total area of hexbin in km^2 Human_area = Total area of hexbin represented by converted lands in km^2 Human_Prop = Portion of hexbin area represented by converted lands ROOT_5Mha = Output selection frequency of ROOT optimizer for an area-based restoration target of 5 million ha (50,000 km^2) , higher numbers indicating greater agreement ROOT_10Mha = Output selection frequency of ROOT optimizer for an area-based restoration target of 10 million ha (100,000 km^2) , higher numbers indicating greater agreement ROOT_15Mha = Output selection frequency of ROOT optimizer for an area-based restoration target of 15 million ha (150,000 km^2) , higher numbers indicating greater agreement <br> *for description of STARr metric see: Mair, L., Bennun, L.A., Brooks, T.M. et al.
