TL;DR: In this paper, the authors adapted the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment framework in the GBR's Tully-Murray catchment to identify trade-offs between linked ecosystem services and stakeholders, and applied four land use scenarios to assess outcomes for the ecosystem service of water quality regulation.

TL;DR: The Forests of East Australia Global High Biodiversity Hotspot corresponds with two World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Ecoregions: the Eastern Australian Temperate Forests and Queensland’s Tropical Rain forests as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed a simplified description of ecosystem functions and related processes, and identified the roles of the ecosystem service providers and beneficiaries, using the Tully-Murray catchment in the Wet Tropics as a case study.

TL;DR: In this paper, point location records for 226 anonymised species from six regions of the world, with accompanying predictor variables in raster (grid) and point formats, are published as a benchmark for modeling approaches and for testing new ways to evaluate the accuracy of SDMs.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple composite threat index was proposed for vegetation condition as a surrogate for biodiversity, and also incorporated threats at multiple scales using five indicators (forest cover fragmentation, urbanisation, weeds, feral animals and road density) identified from the scientific literature and selected in collaboration with natural resource management (NRM) stakeholders to reflect the state of vegetation condition in the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics Bioregion of Queensland, Australia.
