Data for manuscript: Exploring management strategies for open-country birds: A case study from a rice-dominated landscapes

This study presents a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) approach to identify optimal conservation management strategies for species of conservation concern among grassland and farmland birds in the Central Plains of Thailand. We integrate data from bird surveys conducted at 1,410 locations across an area exceeding 50,000 km², together with expert opinions on the potential consequences of seven proposed management options.The dataset includes: DistanceSamplingAllTargetSpecies.csv -- Distance sampling data for all target speciesSite.Covs1410.csv -- Habitat and observation covariates for 1410 survey locationsCombineResult_BBN_PlottingFigure5.csv -- Output used for plotting Figure 5BBN_model.neta -- Bayesian Belief Network model structure used in the analysis
