Introduction This report outlines a spatial analysis of conservation priorities across Tasmania. This exercise

differs from previous analyses in its coverage of the entire state, regardless of land tenure, at

a fine resolution incorporating a wide range of conservation values including landforms. For

target setting, this project considers “what nature needs” in comparison to the minimal area

targets typically used for policy and planning.

Conservation planning and prioritisation A spatially coherent conservation plan supports population dynamics, resilience and ecological

processes, and also is practical for effective land management (Williams et al. 2005). However,

spatial coherence is difficult to define and implement given the complexities and uncertainties

involved (Williams et al. 2005). Australia’s National Reserve System is based on representation

of biodiversity but does not take large scale ecological processes into account (Mackey et al.

2008).

In addition to defining conservation assets and targets, systematic conservation planning

requires explicit reserve design criteria for minimum size, connectivity and other factors

(Margules & Pressey 2000). Additional strategies such as representing geophysical diversity

(‘Nature’s Stage’ which supports the ‘Actors’, i.e. biodiversity), climatic refugia, regional

connectivity and ecological processes are necessary to provide resilience to climate change

(Soulé et al. 2004; Mackey et al. 2007; Groves et al. 2012). Spatial conservation planning in

practice involves a combination of objective methods (such as optimization using Marxan) and

subjective decisions by experts to incorporate design and socioeconomic objectives.

Landscape fragmentation One of the limitations of discrete protected areas is that they risk being ecologically isolated

with consequent decline in species and ecological processes - often with a substantial time lag,

or ‘extinction debt’ (Tilman et al. 1994). The advantages of an interconnected network of

natural environments in a partially transformed landscape are similar to those of large

uninterrupted expanses of natural land: migration of animals in response to seasons or

resource availability, improved gene flow and population viability, intergenerational migration

of plants and other less mobile species. Large intact areas have additional intrinsic ecological

values such as providing a greater diversity of vegetation types and successional stages,

natural disturbance regimes, larger and more viable populations, more rare and threatened

habitats and overall richness of species (Bennett 2003). These extensive wild areas are

irreplaceable and are a critical component of the reserve system in Tasmania.

However land clearing is concentrated in certain areas which are desirable for agriculture or

human habitation. Protection of large expanses of wilderness does not conserve the

biodiversity native to landscapes where soil and climate are suited to intensive human land

use (Klein et al. 2009). Native vegetation patches in modified landscapes are strongly

influenced by the surrounding agricultural land - the ‘matrix’. The impacts of fragmentation

can be somewhat ameliorated by management of the matrix to provide some habitat,

connectivity and buffering (Fischer et al. 2005).

Much of Tasmania’s landscape is relatively intact, with native vegetation covering 74% of the

state, but due to clearing bias one bioregion (Northern Midlands) and several catchments

have less than 40% native vegetation (Michaels et al. 2010). Remnant vegetation in

fragmented landscapes such as the Tasmanian Midlands risks declining in isolation as a

number of factors play out, including loss of viable populations of native fauna, invasion by

weeds and lack of natural disturbance regimes.

Connectivity Connectivity in fragmented landscapes allows for normal processes of migration, dispersal and

breeding and also provides opportunities for species to respond to environmental changes. At

shorter time scales it provides a means for animals to move through the landscape in

response to fire or drought and for foraging or breeding behaviour. For both animals and

plants, connectivity helps maintain metapopulation processes such as dispersal and gene flow

which increases the viability of species. For example, linear corridors between isolated

patches of habitat do increase movement of both plants and animals (Gilbert-Norton et al.

2010).

Most studies of connectivity in Australia have focused on mammals and birds in agricultural

landscapes with remnant forest and woodland habitat (Doerr et al. 2010). In these situations,

corridors or stepping stones tend to facilitate movement and provide habitat in their own

right, with effectiveness of connectivity varying with the configuration of structural elements

(Doerr et al. 2010). Different species have widely varying requirements for connectivity and

there are few studies on non-forest habitats.

Connectivity can be difficult to measure and implement (Beier et al. 2008). Connectivity is

scale and target dependent; as such there is no simple measure of connectivity (Crooks &

Sanjayan 2006). Some species will use ‘stepping stones’ of habitat to move through the

landscape, provided the distances are not too great, others require continuous corridors.

Knowledge of the requirements of individual species is very limited. The quality of the habitat

in the native vegetation and in the matrix makes a difference. However some general

principles (Bennett 2003) provide guidance:

Habitat quality (e.g. vegetation structure, shelter, food) in linkages must be sufficient

to allow movement of species,

Habitat diversity is needed to link areas of diverse habitat,

Existing native vegetation is preferable to revegetation,

Revegetation or restoration, if necessary, should aim to replicate native vegetation,

Generally, connectivity should be oriented perpendicular to environmental gradients

to provide continuity of habitat,

Connectivity along environmental gradients, such as altitudinal sequences, is useful for

providing climate change adaptation.

Connectivity is widely regarded as an important factor in improving the resilience of natural

systems to the impacts of climate change, particularly as a precautionary approach which

provides the best opportunity for species to adapt (Bennett 2003; Dunlop & Brown 2008;

Doerr et al. 2013; Heller & Zavaleta 2009). Maintenance of all kinds of ecological movements

and flows is crucial to long-term resilience (Soule et al. 2004).

While conservation planning generally aims for increased connectivity, potential negative

impacts need to be considered, such as allowing fire or disease or pest species to travel across

the landscape.

Off-reserve conservation Simply designating and managing protected areas is not sufficient to conserve all biodiversity.

Off-reserve conservation initiatives may be necessary to conserve rare unreserved species, or

to provide habitat and ecosystem services in largely modified lands (e.g. riparian restoration).

Maintaining options for future restoration, for example low intensity land use with remnant

habitat, provides the flexibility to adapt to future connectivity needs that are currently

unknown or uncertain (Lovejoy & Hannah 2005). Indeed, modified and unprotected lands are

fundamental to conservation of biodiversity under climate change (Lovejoy & Hannah 2005).

Policy Connectivity is endorsed by the IUCN under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as a

key strategy for nature conservation, particularly in response to climate change (Worboys et

al. 2007). The CBD recognizes landscape-scale conservation including the maintenance of

connectivity and ecological processes across protected areas and the wider landscape (Juffe-

Bignoli et al. 2014). This global vision for a protected area network is elaborated in Aichi

Target 11:

By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water areas and 10 per cent of coastal

and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem

services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative

and well-connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation

measures, and integrated into the wider landscape and seascape.

This project addresses the terrestrial aspects of Target 11, by identifying areas of under-

reserved values for potential reservation and, importantly, “other effective area-based

conservation measures”, which can include zoning under planning schemes to recognise and

manage areas of biodiversity value.

It also identifies potential restoration areas to contribute to connectivity, thereby progressing

Aichi Target 15:

By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks have been

enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent

of degraded ecosystems, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation

and to combating desertification.

Conservation planning in Tasmania Widespread adoption of systematic approaches to conservation planning in Tasmania

occurred with the implementation of the Comprehensive, Adequate and Representative (CAR)

reserve system. The intention is to capture the full range of biodiversity, yet because

information on biodiversity is incomplete even for well-studied taxa, it is necessary to use

surrogate measures.

Page 6: Priority areas for biodiversity conservation in Tasmania · PDF file2 Introduction This report outlines a spatial analysis of conservation priorities across Tasmania. This exercise

Vegetation communities form the basis of Tasmania’s CAR system, because they are relatively

easily mapped and conceptually they represent habitats in terms of a range of vegetation

structure, microclimates and disturbance regimes. However vegetation communities are in

reality often not well defined and are difficult to classify and place boundaries around, even in

the limited places where it is practical to ground truth the mapping. Vegetation communities

are also dynamic, particularly when subject to human influences. Furthermore, vegetation

communities are not a comprehensive surrogate for all biodiversity (MacNally et al. 2002).

‘Adequacy’ has proved difficult to define and implement, particularly in light of a rapidly

changing environment. Long-term data and advanced modelling are needed to determine

viability of populations and ecosystems to inform the adequacy threshold (Watson et al.

2009). In the absence of this information we can consider adequacy in terms of basic

ecological principles and the precautionary principle.

Additional principles beyond CAR have been identified including efficiency, flexibility, risk

spreading, irreplaceability, connectivity and shape (Possingham et al. 2006). Essentially,

conservation planning aims to make the best use of incomplete information to determine a

configuration of protected areas and other management tools to support the full range of

biodiversity now and in the future.

Other spatial data can be used in conjunction with vegetation mapping to better capture the

biodiversity of a region. Habitat mapping for fauna can be useful but given the lack of spatial

data for most species it tends to be restricted to a small subset of the regional fauna, typically

threatened species or animals which are large, iconic or keystone species.

Another approach is to use a landscape classification which characterises the variety of

environments in the region based on physical variables such as landforms, soils, and climate.

This essentially provides another ‘filter’ to represent the variation within vegetation

communities and to capture those parts of the landscape where native vegetation has been

largely lost, since these modified or fragmented environments may be important for

preserving and restoring biodiversity. For example, the presence of threatened flora species in

the Tasmanian Midlands is most strongly related to altitude and geology (Kirkpatrick &

Gilfedder 1994).

Tasmania’s bioregions The land area of Tasmania, including offshore islands, is around 68 400 km2. This project

considers the terrestrial and freshwater environment, bounded by the mean high tide mark.

Bioregions are areas with relatively consistent flora and fauna, with boundaries defined by

zones of rapid environmental change such as elevation gradients or geological boundaries

with consequent turnover of species and communities. Bioregions across Australia,

determined and refined using species distribution records and computer modelling, are used

for conservation planning purposes, including the National Reserve System (Environment

Australia 2000; Peters & Thackway 1998). This makes more sense than using political

boundaries which have no ecological relevance.

At the bioregional scale it is apparent that Tasmania’s reserve system is heavily biased toward

the least populated regions with limited agricultural potential such as Central Highlands, West

and Southern Ranges (Table 1).

The Northern Midlands region has been most extensively modified, with consequent loss of

native vegetation (64% cleared or converted) and species (an estimated 12% of the indigenous

flora) and problems of remnant viability and weed invasion due to fragmentation (Fensham &

Kirkpatrick 1989; Michaels et al. 2010).

Systematic Conservation Planning The use of representation targets for conservation assets is a well-established and widely-used

basis of conservation planning, allowing objective and repeatable analysis, but best practice

requires expert knowledge to supplement and validate the results before implementing a

conservation plan (Carwardine et al. 2009). This approach requires spatial data to represent

the occurrence of conservation features and a mathematical method which attempts to find

an efficient solution to the complex problem of achieving representation of all features while

minimising the area of land or the conflict with other land uses. Since there is no single

solution to this problem (unless it is very simple and small-scale) it is a matter of optimization

to select potential solutions. Marxan is a computer program designed to tackle this problem

by exploring multiple scenarios in order to find a near-optimum solution (Ball et al. 2009).

Marxan is used here to explore scenarios for Tasmania using multiple types of features:

Vegetation Communities

Special Elements

Focal Species

Land Units

Freshwater Values

Within each of these are multiple spatial layers, representing all of the conservation features

which together aim to capture the terrestrial biodiversity of Tasmania including both common

and threatened habitats and species.

Conservation Features Conservation ‘features’ are aspects of the natural environment that can be spatially defined

and provide a representation of the complexity and variability of natural ecosystems. They can

be mapped vegetation types, waterbodies, patches of species habitat or many other features.

The basis for the Wild Island Conservation Plan is the statewide vegetation map (Tasveg), the

Conservation of Freshwater Ecosystems Values (CFEV) project and a novel classification of

Tasmania's landscape (Land Units). Between them, these spatial datasets cover the entire

terrestrial and freshwater environment, including non-natural areas such as dams and towns.

Vegetation mapping units (Tasveg) provide a coarse filter or surrogate for biodiversity which is

consistent with existing conservation analysis and reporting (e.g. the Tasmanian Government’s

Conservation Information System). Vegetation communities are simply a way of categorising

the continuous variation in mixtures of plant species, so rather than homogeneous entities

they contain a variety of habitats occupied by different plants and animals.

In addition, other features of conservation significance are included, these are termed special

elements. These may be particular areas of native vegetation not captured in the Tasveg

classification, or known habitat for threatened animal species, or areas of biogeographic

importance such as refugia.

Vegetation Communities

Tasveg and Regional ecosystems

Vegetation communities are from Tasveg versions 2.0 and 3.0, the statewide 1:25,000 scale

vegetation map. Some Tasveg 2.0 mapping units have been discontinued in version 3.0 and

others are new. Some of these changes have been adopted and others have not depending on

whether mapping and analyses have been sufficiently revised. For example, discontinued

Tasveg 2.0 communities with recognised conservation priority have been retained consistent

with DPIPWE’s Conservation Information System and Natural Resource Planning’s APU layer.

Most of the changes between these versions of Tasveg relate to the classification of scrub

communities.

Since many communities occur widely across the state but may differ in reservation level

regionally it is useful to consider the communities at the bioregion scale rather than

statewide. This classification of bioregional occurrences of Tasveg has been termed ‘regional

Page 9: Priority areas for biodiversity conservation in Tasmania · PDF file2 Introduction This report outlines a spatial analysis of conservation priorities across Tasmania. This exercise

8

ecosystems’ (although they are mapping units rather than ecosystems in most cases).

Intersecting the 142 native vegetation communities with the nine bioregions results in 591

mapping units, after adjusting for recognized ‘fuzzy boundaries’ where a community has

distribution limits near the boundary of two bioregions (Knight 2012). Non-native vegetation

and non-vegetated mapping units from Tasveg are not included in the analysis.

Threatened Native Vegetation

The 39 threatened vegetation communities listed under the Nature Conservation Act cover

323,400 hectares with 46% in formal reserves (DPIPWE 2015). These communities are derived

from Tasveg 3.0, plus the addition of some legacy Tasveg 2.0 communities.

Special Elements

Biogeographical Features

These are biogeographical areas of importance for flora and fauna, largely derived by expert

analysis during the Regional Forest Agreement process (Tasmanian Public Land Use

Commission 1997) and subsequently incorporated into the Tasmanian Government’s

Conservation Information System. These include concentrations of endemic species, hotspots

of species richness and refugia. A newly created spatial analysis of flora species distinctiveness

is also included. Refugia are recognized as sites which are important for maintaining ecological

or evolutionary processes and biodiversity under environmental change.

Rare and unique habitats

Vegetation communities or habitat types which are rare, unique or have been heavily reduced

by land clearing are included as an additional filter, since they may not be adequately

captured by the standard analysis of vegetation communities.

Native vegetation on basalt and Native vegetation on floodplains

Basalt soils and floodplains have been preferentially targeted for conversion to agriculture

because of their high productivity (Woolley & Kirkpatrick 1999). Consequently native

vegetation from these high productivity sites has been heavily reduced and due to their

location are often outside of protected areas. One consequence of the loss of native

vegetation from high fertility lowland sites is loss and decline of associated native plants such

that threatened flora species are concentrated in the more fertile remnants (Kirkpatrick &

Gilfedder 1994).

Vegetation on ultramafic soils

Soils formed from ultramafic rocks have high levels of certain minerals and consequently often

have a unique flora which differs from surrounding vegetation and includes some rare

specialized species (Gibson et al. 1992).

Remnant rainforest

Rainforest is widespread and common in the west, far south and the north-east highlands but

is very rare on the East Coast. These small isolated remnant rainforest patches are important

refuges for rainforest species in a dry region (Neyland 1991).

Northwest coastal grasslands

Native grasslands are a relatively uncommon vegetation formation and some communities are

considered critically endangered due to historical and ongoing loss and degradation. A unique

9

subset of native grasslands which are rich in specific threatened flora species occurs at a few

sites on the Tarkine coast (Schahinger 2002). While some of these grassland patches are

mapped as the nationally listed Tasmanian Lowland Grasslands, others are not.

Important Bird Areas

Important Bird Areas are sites of particular value for birds across Australia (Dutson et al.

2009). 42 IBAs are mapped in Tasmania, including sites important for forest birds, seabirds

and waders. Seabird colonies have also been mapped (in Tasveg) and are included as they are

critical breeding sites for large populations of wide ranging species.

Mature forest

Mature forest, including old growth, provides a rich variety of habitats lacking in younger

forest and consequently supports a suite of specialist species which require features such as

tree hollows or large fallen logs. Tree hollows of various sizes are used by 42 vertebrate

species in Tasmania, including 20 bird species which are reliant on hollows for breeding (Koch

et al. 2008). Mature forest has been severely depleted in many parts of Tasmania due to

logging, land clearing and changed fire regimes. Since it takes many decades for forest to

develop mature features this habitat type is not readily replaceable and therefore is a priority

for conservation. Although estimates of the abundance of tree hollows across the landscape

mapped by interpreting forest structure from aerial photography overestimate the number of

hollows suitable for fauna, this method does provide a relative measure of hollow availability

(Stojanovic et al. 2014).

Threatened Species

Species of interest for conservation planning are typically threatened species (where the aim

is to prevent extinctions), ecologically important species (those which have a large influence

on ecosystem function, such as top-order predators), focal species (well-studied species with

specific habitat requirements which act as a surrogate for habitat quality and size and hence

for co-occurring species) or dispersive species (wide-ranging or migratory species where

habitat is dispersed across landscapes and tenures). Some species fit into more than one of

these groups. Wide-ranging species often can be focal species, as a surrogate for other

species, which is somewhat effective and, given limited information, is a useful conservation

strategy (Rodrigues & Brooks 2007).

Detailed habitat mapping is available for few Tasmanian fauna species. All of the species used

in this analysis are threatened fauna species with relatively well-known habitat preferences.

Two types of species with different conservation requirements are recognized: wide-ranging

and narrow geographic range. Wide-ranging species are highly mobile, have large home

ranges or are migratory and are habitat generalists (although they may have specific breeding

habitat). It is not practical to protect all of their habitat so the priority is to protect some

habitat across their entire range and to provide sufficient breeding habitat. This group

includes several top-order predators such as the masked owl, grey goshawk and spotted-tail

quoll. Narrow geographic range species tend to be much less mobile and to have very specific

habitat requirements. It is important to protect most or all of their habitat. This group includes

several rare wet forest invertebrates.

Page 11: Priority areas for biodiversity conservation in Tasmania · PDF file2 Introduction This report outlines a spatial analysis of conservation priorities across Tasmania. This exercise

10

Habitat mapping used here is largely derived from the Tasmanian Forest Practices Authority

which has mapped several threatened species using varying combinations of categories

including known range, core range and potential range (FPA 2008).

Land Units

Land Units are a classification of the geophysical landscape based on variables which are

ecologically influential. Geology, slope position, aspect and landform all influence species

turnover and the consequent distribution of ecological communities. A conservation analysis

which captures the full range of environmental variability should include the diversity of

vegetation types and species and allow for ecological processes (Beier & Brost 2010).

Importantly, conserving the variety of Land Units provides a basis for ecological adaptation to

future change, whereas other conservation assets (species and communities) are not static

(Lawler et al. 2015).

“Conserving nature’s stage” assumes that protected areas which represent abiotic factors (or

geodiversity) will represent biodiversity regardless of climate, yet while this approach is an

effective surrogate for plant species and vegetation it has produced mixed results in

representing other biodiversity features (Beier et al. 2015). Nevertheless it has proved useful

as an additional filter in conjunction with other conservation features, ensuring abiotic

variation is captured, typically with little increase in the land area required to meet targets for

biotic features (Beier et al. 2015; Lawler et al. 2015).

Land Units provide an additional coarse filter to capture variation in the landscape which may

be neglected by broad scale vegetation mapping. For example, within a single forest type

there will be variation in understorey plants and fauna habitat from a ridge to a gully and onto

the opposite slope.

These kinds of surrogate measures are important for capturing biodiversity in a changing

environment since representation of current communities is based on the assumption that

communities are discrete entities, yet species tend to respond individualistically to climate

change with consequent formation of non-analogue communities (Hannah et al. 2002).

A commonly used and intuitive method for classifying Land Units is the “overlay method”

where several environmental variables are split into ecologically meaningful classes and

overlaid resulting in a cross-classification of all combinations of variables (Beier et al. 2015).

This method proved more successful as a biodiversity surrogate than statistical classification

approaches such as multivariate clustering in testing by Ferrier and Watson (1997). Geology is

widely used as a surrogate for soil characteristics, however soils may differ greatly within a

single bedrock type due to confounding factors (Beier & Brost 2010). In the absence of

detailed soil mapping, geological maps provide the best indication of differences in soil type.

Topographic classification tools and slope classification in ArcGIS were used to classify

landforms based on the TasDEM Digital Elevation Model, a satellite-derived elevation surface

with a spatial resolution of 1 arcsecond (approx. 27 metres).

Slopes were classified into north- or south-facing based on mean annual solar radiation

calculated in ArcGIS. Geology was classified into broad classes based on the Mineral Resources

Tasmania 1:250,000 scale geology of Tasmania. Combining four elevation classes with

landforms, geology and solar radiation yielded numerous combinations which were

11

consolidated into 199 classes to represent the environments of the project area (see

Appendix).

Target setting Setting targets for reservation is problematic. Firstly, we don’t know how much nature needs.

Maintaining biodiversity means providing habitat of sufficient quality, size and connectedness

for all native species. Secondly, it is even harder to predict what nature will need in the future

with climate change and other environmental pressures (e.g. extinction debt). Thirdly, it

depends on the management of the entire landscape beyond the core protected areas.

Finally, targets are often compromised to reduce impact on human activities when what

nature needs is a more precautionary approach (e.g. in the Tasmanian RFA process;

Kirkpatrick 1998).

Australia is a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity including the Aichi target of

17% reservation of representative areas. However, this as a minimum target which will not be

adequate to halt the decline in global biodiversity (Larsen et al. 2014). Australia’s NRS target

of 15% is an arbitrary and minimalist figure which is inadequate for protecting biodiversity

under climate change (Mackey et al. 2008). Modelling of landscapes in south-eastern Australia

under projected climate change suggests a minimum of around 30% native vegetation cover

across whole landscapes (multiple catchments) is needed to maintain biodiversity (Doerr et al.

2013).

Three different scenarios are examined in this project: low, medium and high targets. Targets

vary between conservation features depending on their conservation priority. For non-

threatened vegetation communities the low target of 17% reflects the Aichi target, the

medium target of 30% is indicative of much of the research in landscape ecology, and the high

target of 45% is a more precautionary target to provide increased chance of persistence in the

face of unpredicted or dramatic change.

Methodology

Site Selection using Marxan Marxan requires several essential datasets. Firstly, the planning area is divided into planning

units, such as a regular grid, which determines the scale of the analysis. Secondly,

conservation features, such as vegetation communities or specific species habitat, are

mapped. Thirdly, conservation features are overlaid on the planning units to calculate the

spatial extent of each asset in each unit.

Additionally there are a number of essential and optional parameters which influence the

selection frequency and spatial arrangement of planning units in the analysis, such as site

cost, existing reservation status and boundary length.

Controlling compactness (via the boundary length modifier) allows Marxan to attain the

minimum area or cost within the constraint of achieving a compact and coherent result. With

no or minimal restriction on boundary length the Marxan algorithm will tend to select

scattered planning units with no spatial coherance, which meets the aim of satisfying

conservation targets for minimal cost but does not achieve realistic conservation goals of

identifying manageable, viable areas for conservation focus.

Page 13: Priority areas for biodiversity conservation in Tasmania · PDF file2 Introduction This report outlines a spatial analysis of conservation priorities across Tasmania. This exercise

12

Marxan selects sites with rare features since these are necessary to meet the specified

targets, such sites therefore have a high selection frequency (irreplaceability). Planning units

without rare features can also have a high selection frequency if they are critical to producing

a compact reserve design. In this way Marxan will preferentially select planning units which

fill gaps or buffer areas of high irreplaceability in order to meet targets for common

widespread features (Carwardine et al. 2007). Fragmented, isolated or irregularly shaped

patches are less likely to be selected.

Planning Units Planning units are the basis for selection of sites for each reserve design scenario. A grid of 1

km squares was created and clipped to the shape of the Tasmanian landmass. The resulting

70,107 cells ranged in size from a specified minimum 2000 m2 for fractions of grid cells, to 100

hectares for the vast majority of cells (i.e. a full 1 km square).

Planning units can be assigned a status which specifies whether they must be selected, must

not be selected or may be selected in the Marxan solution. Any planning units with greater

than half their land area mapped as an intensive land use were excluded from the Marxan

analysis since these land uses are not very compatible with conservation. Intensive land use

includes urban, industrial, utilities, transport, irrigated agriculture, perennial horticulture and

intensive agriculture. Conversely, planning units where more than half the land area is in a

formal reserve are locked into the solution since they are already devoted to conservation

and form the core areas for buffering or connecting. All planning units which are not

predominantly an intensive land use or a reserve then are available for selection by the

Marxan algorithm.

Marxan Parameters

Site Cost

Cost is represented here as the land area of each planning unit. That is, cost per hectare is

constant so as not to bias the result from the absolute priority of what nature needs. Marxan

projects sometimes incorporate a measure of the acquisition, management or opportunity

cost across different zones to understand the trade-off between conservation and competing

land uses. Cost estimates are inherently uncertain and have little influence on site selection in

areas of high or low irreplaceability, though sites with intermediate conservation value can be

sensitive to cost (Carwardine et al. 2010).

Conservation Features versus Planning Units

This matrix of conservation features by planning units provides the basis for the Marxan

analysis. The area of each conservation features within each planning unit is calculated in

ArcGIS using the Tabulate Area function.

Boundary File

This file identifies which cells have shared boundaries for the purposes of adjusting

connectivity in Marxan. It was created using the JNCC application in ArcGIS.

Species Penalty Factor

This parameter controls the penalty for any shortfalls in meeting targets for assets. This can affect both the comprehensiveness and the efficiency of Marxan results, depending on the costs and targets. For each scenario, a range of SPF values was tested (using the online cloud

computing implementation of Marxan, marxan.io) to find an appropriate value which promotes efficient solutions with minimal shortfalls.

Conservation Features The 917 conservation features are listed in a file and each is given a target which represents

the proportion of the total extent of the feature within the project area to be conserved.

Representation targets are a useful method for conservation planning but they are often set

too low due to compromises for social or economic reasons, and it difficult to determine with

scientific validity appropriate targets in each situation, though targets should reflect

biodiversity features such as rarity, viability, distinctiveness (Carwardine et al. 2009).

Targets were assigned according to a scheme based on the relative rarity and priority of

different features, with the highest applicable score attributed to each vegetation community

(Table 2). The full list of conservation features is in the Appendix.

Spatial Analysis Marxan was operated using the Zonae Cogito software which provides a graphical user

interface and manages Marxan inputs and outputs.

Trial runs were conducted with different values for the Boundary Length Modifier (BLM), the

parameter which controls the clustering of selected cells in the reserve design output, to

determine a range of suitable BLM values (Ardron et al. 2010). Too low values result in

Page 15: Priority areas for biodiversity conservation in Tasmania · PDF file2 Introduction This report outlines a spatial analysis of conservation priorities across Tasmania. This exercise

14

unconsolidated scattered cells that are not useful for reserve design, while if the BLM is too

high it forces the result to be excessively clustered with increased expense. After testing

numerous BLM values, a range of three reasonable values was selected based on the tradeoff

between cost and boundary length and with reference to the spatial configuration of results.

These BLM values of 0.0001, 0.001 and 0.01 were used to produce scenarios with different

levels of compactness. Each scenario was run 100 times. The best run out of each 100 was

selected as an example of a near-optimal reserve design for the given parameters. The

selection frequency for each cell (i.e. how many times it was selected in the 100 runs) also

provides a useful indication of conservation priorities, with high scoring cells likely to be

indispensable to achieving the reservation targets.

Scenarios To examine the effect of including Land Units in the spatial analysis, Marxan was run with and

without Land Units. The scenario without Land Units contained only the 718 biodiversity

assets. Each of these two scenarios was run with each of the three levels of targets (low,

medium, high), and each of these with three levels of compactness (BLM), resulting in a total

of 18 scenarios (Table 3).

Results

Marxan outputs For each scenario, Marxan performed 100 runs. The best solution out of the 100 is the one

which achieves the conservation targets for the minimum cost (i.e. the least area) within the

constraints of the boundary length modifier. However this may be one of several almost

equally good solutions and it may not be the most feasible to implement.

A more informative output is the selection frequency (or irreplaceability), which is the

number of solutions in which each planning unit features, between 0 and 100. Areas with a

high selection frequency (close to 100) are indispensable to achieve the conservation targets,

regardless of the configuration of the solution. These are areas with unique and irreplaceable

values, or with multiple coincident values. Areas with low selection frequency have few

conservation values or have values which are more likely to be represented elsewhere (e.g.

coincident with other values, or closer to higher priority areas). These may be areas which are

included to make the result more compact by filling gaps in higher priority areas rather than

having conservation values in their own right. Areas with intermediate selection frequency

have values which occur in other places where they may be captured in other solutions, so

they are dependent on the configuration of the solution and will not always be required.

Expansion of Existing Formal Reserves Existing reserves alone do not meet most of the conservation targets, however most of the

targets could be met by some enlargement of the existing reserves. Areas adjacent to existing

reserves frequently occur in the Marxan solutions, even with relatively low clustering (i.e. low

BLM values). With increased clustering the solutions become larger in order to reduce the

boundary length to area ratio.

Non-natural vegetation and restoration Since non-natural vegetation is not a conservation target, extensive areas of agricultural land

are never selected, however some areas of non-native vegetation are selected because they

contribute to representation of certain environmental domains or to connectivity. These

areas should be considered for restoration to native vegetation or managed for both

biodiversity and production.

Comparison of scenarios with different targets Increasing representation targets naturally increases the area required to meet those targets.

For scenarios with the highest targets much of the state is identified as a priority, particularly

when the BLM is also high. Whilst these scenarios might be politically unfeasible they do

demonstrate the presence of significant conservation values across most of the state,

including in agricultural and forestry areas. Active management of these areas for

conservation as well as production may well be needed to sustain nature and ecosystem

services in the face of environmental change.

Identifying priority areas Summing the results of multiple scenarios gives a more robust result than an individual

scenario. Areas which are selected in most or all of the scenarios are clearly important

because they are essential to achieve conservation outcomes under a wide range of criteria.

Page 17: Priority areas for biodiversity conservation in Tasmania · PDF file2 Introduction This report outlines a spatial analysis of conservation priorities across Tasmania. This exercise

16

Other areas which feature in fewer scenarios have definite conservation value but they may

be more exchangeable (in that there are alternative areas where they are also represented)

or their selection is driven more by spatial pattern (they contribute to clustering and

compactness of high priority areas).

Connectivity, compactness and buffering The influence of the Boundary Length Modifier is evident in the increasing compactness and

size of scenarios with higher BLM values when all other parameters are unchanged. The low

BLM scenarios produce results with very scattered priority areas, which become more

coherent at moderate BLM values and quite extensive at high BLMs. The medium BLM values

tend to identify priority areas which are of a manageable shape and size with a reasonable

amount of connectivity. Areas of degraded habitat or non-natural vegetation selected for

their role in improving connectivity or compactness are potential restoration zones and are

likely to be strategic zones for restoration to contribute to meeting Aichi Target 15 at a

statewide and national level.

Wilderness areas and cultural values This project focusses solely on biodiversity values, consequently it presents key priorities for

biodiversity conservation but does not consider other important values such as cultural

heritage, wilderness, aesthetic and recreational values. Land management and planning will

need to consider these and other relevant values. Wilderness values, or large intact

landscapes, are largely within existing reserves with the notable exception of parts of the

Tarkine in northwest Tasmania.

Integrated results Consolidation of the results of the various analyses provides a single map which represents a

middle of the road outcome (Figure 1. The results of any particular scenario are determined

by the particular parameters used in the Marxan analysis. Certain choices of parameters (e.g.

low versus high targets) might have a dramatic influence on the result.

Rather than simply using a scenario with intermediate targets and compactness, averaging

the results of the multiple scenarios gives a more robust outcome. In other words, a high

selection frequency across multiple scenarios indicates areas with high conservation priorities

regardless of the specific parameters used in a particular model.

The results of all 9 scenarios were combined by calculating the average selection frequency

for each planning unit across all scenarios. This was then aggregated into three classes: lower

conservation priority (selection frequency 0–30%), buffer and connectivity zones (31–70%),

and core conservation areas (71–100 %). This map provides guidance for the next step of

defining boundaries and management goals for different conservation zones based on land

tenure, natural features and other factors.
