Data Supporting a Framework to Incorporate Established Conservation Networks into Freshwater Conservation Planning

This data set provides the results of a conservation prioritization analysis for wadeable streams in Missouri, USA. Higher values (Maximum of 1) represent higher conservation value. Conservation values were derived using Zonation conservation planning software which used species distribution models, a prioritization algorithm (either Core-Area or Additive Benefit), species weighting (None, Vulnerability, or Listing Status), connecitivity (Yes or No), and masks representing different conservation networks (None, Priority Watersheds, Conservation Opportunity Areas, and Existing Conservation Network).

本数据集提供了美国密苏里州可涉水溪流的保护优先级分析结果。数值越高（最大值为1），代表对应溪流的保护价值越高。该保护价值通过Zonation保护规划软件计算得到，该软件采用了物种分布模型（species distribution models）、优先级排序算法（核心区域法（Core-Area）或增值效益法（Additive Benefit））、物种权重设置（无、脆弱性等级或保护名录状态）、连通性设置（开启或关闭），以及代表不同保护网络的掩膜图层（无、优先流域、保护机遇区与现有保护网络）。更多详细信息可参阅尼古拉斯·西弗特（Nicholas Sievert）于2014年提交至密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的硕士论文《密苏里州溪流鱼类脆弱性评估与保护网络评价》（"An Assessment of Stream Fish Vulnerability and an Evaluation of Conservation Networks in Missouri"）。
