Values are based on yearly planning for shared-use vs. intact habitat scenarios and for single population vs. spatial clustering approaches. Area available is the total amount of each land cover available based on all cells throughout the year where > 1 species was present. Not all land cover classes are included in the table and therefore individual land cover values do not sum to the total in each column. Land cover data was extracted from the global land cover map for 2015 (300 m resolution)55. See Supplementary Table 1 for equivalent land area estimates under weekly planning scenario
