ACTGOV Connectivity Habitat Patches

Habitat Patches: The patches have been identified through use of an effective habitat area analysis. This analysis reflects the generalist habitat condition assigned to every 15m grid cell across the ACT region and the context or combined habitat values of the grids that surround it or are in its near vicinity. Patches are defined by polygons that include all adjoining grid cells that are in the highest 20% for spatial context for all grid cells across the ACT Region. The legend indicates patches that are >10ha or that are from 5 – 10 ha. Indicates resource availability for an animal at that cell. The ACT connectivity mapping was undertaken by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. A full study report has been produced, and is entitled Fine Scale Modelling of Fauna Habitat and Connectivity Values in the ACT Region. This study built upon an earlier report entitled the Ecological Connectivity for Climate Change in the ACT and surrounding region, commissioned by the ACT Government as part of Weathering the Change Action Plan 1. The report was undertaken by the Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University. It is recommended that both reports be consulted when use is being made of the connectivity mapping available. Reports can be downloaded from the EPD website at https://www.act.gov.au/environment/research-and-data/conservation-research-and-technical-reports (Technical reports 21 and 27). gen_blank20pc_ctx Gridcode 0 = <10ha 1 = >10ha Patchcode -1= Not a patch 0= Patch 5-10ha 1= Patch 10ha< Updates: This dataset is static. Fit for purpose: 2012 temporal coverage. This dataset should be used as a modelled tool for aiding landuse, strategic town planning, and conservation planning in the ACT including revegetation targets and informing environmental impacts of infrastructure and building projects. Cell size 15x15m. Disclaimer: While all care is taken to ensure accuracy, the ACT Government does not warrant that the map is free from errors.
