Title |
Persistence of ecosystems (including undiscovered species) (vascular plants) |
Abstract |
This indicator measures the proportion of ecosystem diversity that is still existing or likely to persist based on a classification of known and undiscovered taxonomic groupings of species. The results presented here are for vascular plants. Future variants of this indicator will include results for other taxonomic groups. The persistence of ecosystems indicator 2.2c, reported here, is one of a series of indicators on the status of biodiversity and ecological integrity in NSW developed to contribute to assessing the performance of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. The overarching indicator framework which outlines how indicators are related and derived is presented in the “method to assess biodiversity and ecological integrity across New South Wales” (OEH 2018a). |

Lineage |
The biodiversity persistence family of indicators aim to report on the overall amount of biodiversity (genes, species and ecosystems), both known and undiscovered, that currently exists and what is expected to persist in the long term. The indicators are measured indirectly through a suite of models that integrate biological records with remote mapping of environment, satellite remote-sensing of land condition and landuse information, which are combined using process understanding of biodiversity persistence. The assessment is undertaken using the best available data at relatively fine spatial scales (c. 90 m and 250 m). Specifically, a generalised dissimilarity model-based ecosystem classification defines the potential pre-clearing distribution of ecosystems across NSW (OEH 2016); which is intersected with a model of ecological condition and carrying capacity (Love et al. in prep.). Ecological carrying capacity has generally diminished due to clearing and disturbance since pre-industrial times, with the degree of impact varying considerably across NSW. Models of ecological condition and carrying capacity belong to the set of ecological integrity indicators in the ecosystem quality theme of the indicator framework (see ( OEH in prep.) for details). For a detailed outline of source data, methods and processes refer to the Implementation Report at http://... The overarching indicator framework which outlines how indicators are related and derived is presented in the “method to assess biodiversity and ecological integrity across New South Wales” (OEH 2018a). |
