Tóm tắt

Mô hình hóa thống kê dữ liệu khảo sát sinh học liên quan đến các biến môi trường được lập bản đồ từ xa là một kỹ thuật mạnh mẽ để sử dụng hiệu quả hơn dữ liệu thưa thớt trong quy hoạch bảo tồn khu vực. Việc áp dụng mô hình hóa này vào quy hoạch tại khu vực đông bắc New South Wales (NSW) của Úc là một trong những nghiên cứu trường hợp lớn nhất và kéo dài nhất về phương pháp này trên toàn cầu. Kể từ đầu những năm 1980, mô hình hóa thống kê đã được sử dụng để suy diễn sự phân bố của hơn 2300 loài thực vật và động vật, cũng như một loạt các cộng đồng và tập hợp bậc cao hơn. Những sự phân bố được mô hình hóa này đã đóng vai trò then chốt trong một loạt các quy trình lập kế hoạch sử dụng đất lớn, dẫn đến những bổ sung rộng rãi vào hệ thống khu vực được bảo vệ của khu vực này. Bài báo này cung cấp cái nhìn tổng quan về phương pháp phân tích được sử dụng để mô hình hóa sự phân bố của các loài cá thể ở đông bắc NSW, bao gồm các cách tiếp cận: (1) phát triển một khung tích hợp cơ bản về thống kê và hệ thống thông tin địa lý (GIS) để tạo điều kiện cho việc điều chỉnh và suy diễn tự động các mô hình loài; (2) mở rộng cách tiếp cận cơ bản này để kết hợp xem xét sự tự tương quan không gian, lập bản đồ che phủ đất và kiến thức chuyên gia; và (3) đánh giá hiệu suất của mô hình hóa loài, cả về độ chính xác dự đoán và hiệu quả hoạt động của các mô hình này như những thay thế tổng quát cho đa dạng sinh học.
