Threatening processes to taxa of conservation concern in Northern Australia

This collection contains several spatial datasets describing the distribution and severity of key threatening processes to native biodiversity, and especially to threatened species, in Northern Australia. Where possible a measure of current and future (2050) threat intensity or probability is provided and an estimate of any uncetainties incorporated. These outputs were produced as part of a federally funded NESP project (NESP 3.3 Threatened species and threatening processes in Northern Australia). The main threatening processes addressed are 1. invasive weeds, 2. invasive/feral animals, 3. diseases, 4. changes in flow regime/runoff, 5. changes in fire regimes, 6. agriculuture, 7. grazing, 8. climate change, 9. overexploitation/hunting/illegal harvest, 10. mining, and 11. urbanization.
