The objectives of urban forest strategies can influence ecosystem service supply and accessibility across urban landscapes

Data produced by Dade et al. (2026) "The objectives of urban forest strategies can influence ecosystem service supply and accessibility across urban landscapes". Ecosystem Services.The landcover raster files show the land cover maps generated for the Melbourne metropolitan area under 2019 conditions and the two 2050 scenarios (Scenario 1 - heat vulnerability scenario, and Scenario 2 - biodiversity habitat scenario). The associated excel file provide provides description of each land cover code in the raster files.The heat mitigation raster files show the results of the InVEST urban cooling model, under the 2019 conditions and both scenarios. Urban heat mitigation is represented as a urban heat mitigation index, where 1 indicates maximum urban heat mitigated, and 0 represent minimum urban heat mitigated. More information on the InVEST urban heat cooling model can be found here: http://releases.naturalcapitalproject.org/invest-userguide/latest/en/urban_cooling_model.htmlThe stormwater retention raster files show the results of the InVEST urban stormwater retention model, under the 2019 conditions and both scenarios. Stormwater retention is represented as the volume of stormwater retained (m3/yr) within a 10 x 10 m pixel.All datasets are at 10 x 10 m resolution and projected using the GDA94/MGA Zone 55 projection.
