Brief description Beyond discrete landscape metrics: spatial analysis tools and surface textural measures for quantifying gradients in landscape structure. The project will make an important contribution to an Environmental Sustainable Australia, especially the sustainable use and management of Australia's biodiversity. The focus is Australia's biodiversity hotspots in northern Australia, where fauna species are threatened as a result of habitat modification and biological invasions. The landscape analysis tools and supporting knowledge will allow for more effective landscape-level conservation strategies to be developed in northern regions by assisting researchers and managers to answer key questions about how to manage the structure of native vegetation for the long-term conservation of fauna populations. The project will also deliver benefits for conserving marine biodiversity.
