Native Vegetation Management Benefits - Improve Benefits

Identifies areas across NSW where the greatest benefit to NSW plant biodiversity is achieved by improving the condition of extant native vegetation.\r\n\r\nThis layer is one of four approaches to vegetation management, comprising:\r\n\r\n- *Manage benefits* highlights remaining examples of highly cleared vegetation types\r\n- *Improve benefits* highlights where remaining examples of highly cleared vegetation types can be improved in condition\r\n- *Restore benefits* highlights where to restore highly cleared vegetation types in cleared landscapes\r\n- *Landscape benefits* highlights areas that contribute to the connectivity between extant native vegetation. Includes existing vegetation and locations to restore lost linkages\r\n\r\n### Version 1.0 (2012)\r\nproduced for the Draft NSW Biodiversity Strategy (see this report ). Data is relevant to 2012\r\n### Further updates\r\nImprove benefits are not routinely provided as a time series. For latter versions see NVMB Series 2 \r\n## More information\r\nFor more detail see NSW Native Vegetation Management Benefits Analyses\r\nTechnical report (2012) , this technical report (2020) , and this scientific paper on the method (2014) .
