a Effective habitat area for biodiversity in 2020; b Habitat provision for terrestrial threatened species in 2020 in units of species.hectares; c Total vegetation carbon in 2020 including above-ground, below-ground and dead organic matter; d Net woodland carbon flux from 2004 to 2020 (n = 16 climate years). Negative values indicate a carbon source; positive values indicate carbon sinks. Effective habitat area reflects total habitat area available for biodiversity, accounting for habitat condition in each location (grid cell) and farm area. A larger value indicates greater contribution of the farm in supporting biodiversity. High quality habitat areas are those where habitat condition is greater than 75%. Threatened species habitat combines spatial information on the distribution of all 1466 terrestrial nationally listed threatened species and the habitat condition data in Australia86. Threatened species habitat was estimated by multiplying the number of threatened species that may occur in a location by the habitat condition in that location when habitat condition was above 50%. Aggregated values for each location provide the number of ‘threatened species hectares’. Higher values indicate a greater contribution of the area in providing habitat for threatened species86.
