Abstract
AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: " InVEST models habitat quality and rarity as proxies for biodiversity, ultimately estimating the extent of habitat and vegetation types across a landscape, and their state of degradation. Habitat quality and rarity are a function of four factors: each threat’s relative impact, the relative sensitivity of each habitat type to each threat, the distance between habitats and sources of threats, and the degree to which the land is legally protected. Required inputs include a LULC map, the sensitivity of LULC types to each threat, spatial data on the distribution and intensity of each threat and the location of protected areas. The model assumes that the legal protection of land is effective and that all threats to a landscape are additive."
