Southern Finland regional analysis

Transcription

1 Southern Finland regional analysis

2 Background for the exercise Training example and data created originally for training of regional council of Southern Finland 2013 Aims at presenting a realitic, yet simplified Zonation setup Note: Data has been generalised and is partially invented

3 Background for the analyses General plan process to be started for the region Aim: to ensure sustainable well-being and competitiveness Including: Safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystem services Zonation is used to identify important and less valuable areas for biodiversity and ecosystem services NOTE: this is a training example with simplifications and invented data J

27 What is the aim of the analysis? What BD features are needed for prioritization? Protection of certain species or balanced solution? - Data sets? - Weights? - Cell removal rules

28 Step-by-step development of the analyses Forest data only (UML_01_M_abf) Forests + other environments (UML_02_MSP_abf) Forests, other environments, forest connectivity (UML_03_MSP_mc_abf) Forests, other environments, forest connectivity + ecosystem services (UML_04_MSP_mc_ESS_L_abf) As previously + condition layer (UML_05_MSP_mck_ESS_L_abf) As previously + harmful land use and negative connectivity (UML_06_MSP_mcki_ESS_L_abf) As previously + current protection (UML_07_MSP_mcki_ESS_L_abf_HM1) As in UML_6 + current plans (UML_08_MSP_mcki_ESS_L_abf_HM2)

30 Codes in the names are interpreted as follows: UML = Uudenmaanliitto M = Forests (Metsät) S = Peatlands and wetlands (Suot ja kosteikot) P = Agricultural areas (Pellot ja perinnebiotoopit) ESS = Ecosystem services L = Species data (Lajiaineistot) mc = matrix connectivity k = Condition layer (kuntokerros) i = Interaction connectivity, negative landuse (interaktiot) HM1 = Hierarchical mask 1 (Regional zoning) HM2 = Hierarchical mask 2 (Protected areas) abf = Additive benefit function
