Strategic Biodiversity Values (SBV) is one of NaturePrint's decision-support products. It combines information on important areas for threatened flora and fauna, levels of depletion, connectivity, vegetation types and condition to provide a view of relative biodiversity importance of all parts of the Victorian landscape. This integrated information is important because decision-makers need access to an objective, comprehensive and spatially explicit view of the importance of biodiversity assets to enable comparison of locations across Victoria. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>The biodiversity information used in the SBV v4 analysis included:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>- species habitat distribution models</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>- models of uncertainty of the likelihood of modelled habitat (and, for fauna, habitat importance models) for VROTS</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>- models of vegetation types in Victoria</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>- a model of native vegetation condition.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The analysis first looked for locations with the least biodiversity value and then identified the location with the next lowest level of biodiversity value. This</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>process continued until there was a complete ranking of locations across the state. The biodiversity value that informed the ranking was based on the</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>modelled range and likelihood of species habitat or vegetation type in a location, compared to pre-settlement levels.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This iterative, bottom-up approach is used so that the analysis considers the connectedness and aggregation of habitat at the same time as the</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>representation of values.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This analysis results in the areas with little biodiversity value ranked lower, the most degraded and poorly located examples of the most common habitat or</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>vegetation in the middle of the ranking, and the best and most well-connected examples of VROT species' habitats across the state ranked higher. This</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>means that some locations with low condition vegetation can be more highly ranked because they provide links for habitats, or are the only remaining habitat</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>for certain species.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>For some species, significant areas of likely habitat may not be occupied, either due to insufficient recovery time since a disturbance event or due to</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>catastrophic historic impact that is beyond normal recovery capability. These factors are not yet included in Habitat Importance Models nor in the current</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>SBV map.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV> |
