Cessnock Environment Layer

This single layer captures critical environmental features and biodiversity persistence for Cessnock Local Government Area (LGA) which covers 196,468 ha. The layer is in raster format with a 2 × 2 m cell size and is the result of consolidating layers that capture all aspects of biodiversity. Those consolidated layers contributed species composition information, structure/condition of habitat, and ecological function attributes at the same scale and with a common scoring. The common scale and scoring system allowed for direct comparison, making it possible to combine them into one single environment layer using a peer-reviewed scientific methodology.
