A key challenge in these landscapes is altering how we use the land for ongoing, viable production while increasing native biodiversity. The group: identified the major historical influences on Australian land use and the current social and economic drivers that are likely to increase in the future assessed the condition of five agro-climatic regions (adapted from Williams et al., 2002 and Hobbs and McIntyre, 2005) using a Delphi method. A small (4-person) expert panel scored the impact of historical and future scenarios on ten sustainability indicators (biodiversity, water, soil, social capital, built capital, food/fibre, carbon, energy, minerals and cultural). Five regions were chosen: Southern Mediterranean, Northern tropical, Central arid, North-east subtropical, and South-east temperate. This was an iterative process whereby scores were revisited until internal consistency between regions, scenarios, and indicators was achieved made projections of regional condition under the four global Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) based on van Vuuren et al. (2011) developed recommendations about land use and management, institutional and policy arrangements and social processes that will assist adaptation towards a values-rich vision of Australia in 2100.Progress Code: completedMaintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned&rft.creator=Meyer, Wayne &rft.date=2013&rft.edition=1.0&rft.relation=https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7996976&rft.coverage=Australia&rft.coverage=northlimit=-10; southlimit=-44.25; westlimit=110.25; eastLimit=156; projection=EPSG:4326&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0&rft_rights=TERN services are provided on an as-is and as available basis.
