Spatial nestedness of conservation priorities

This dataset contains information on the degree to which fine-resolution priorities (determined with small planning units) were spatially nested within all coarse-resolution priorities (determined with large planning units). All coarse-resolution priorities were evaluated against two test scenarios, of the highest resolutions possible.

Coarse-scenario and test ("best") scenario codes reflect those used in publication to which these datasets relate. SF is an abbreviation for selection frequency; high-priority areas were defined at two levels. Percentage values represent the percentage small high-priority planning units from each of the test scenarios that overlapped with high-priority large planning units from the ten coarse scenarios that were tested.
