Table 1.

List and description of Zonation runs. (The optimal prioritization can be altered using mask files, which tell the program that some areas have predefined hierarchy, and removes categories of grid cells in specified order.)

run mask files description
optimal solution none prioritize all of Victoria
optimal solution for remaining native woody vegetation 0—not native woody vegetation
1—native woody vegetation
prioritize remaining native woody vegetation in Victoria
evaluate conservation reserves 0—not native woody vegetation
1—native woody vegetation outside current conservation areas
2—native woody vegetation inside current conservation areas
prioritize areas inside and outside conservation reserves to determine how much PD is already protected and how much remains outside the current extent of the reserve systems
scenario 1: expand conservation reserves 0—not native woody vegetation
1—native woody vegetation outside current conservation areas
2—native woody vegetation inside current conservation areas
compare amount of PD protected in reserves with that protected if the area of conservation reserves was increased by 5 or 20%
scenario 2: tourism development in national parks 0—outside native woody vegetation
1—native woody vegetation outside national parks
2—native woody vegetation in national parks and open for development
3—native woody vegetation in national parks and protected from development
document the distribution of PD within national parks available for tourism and map vulnerable areas
