• We calculate scores for individual cells, representing local habitat connectivity priority.
• Three primary radii analyzed: 250m, 500m and 1000m, representing different scales of surrounding habitat influence.
• Aggregation: Cell scores are summed to generate overall project scores.
• Prioritization principles include:

Parameters for Each Cell

1. Proportion of Existing Nature around cell \(i\) on a given radius \(\text{pEN}_i\).
2. Proportion of Existing Nature that is forested around cell \(i\) on a given radius \(\text{pEN}^f_i\).
3. Proportion of Forest not considered existing nature around cell \(i\) on a given radius \(\text{pEN}^f_i\).
4. Logarithm of the Sum of areas of existing nature polygons around cell \(i\) on a given radius \(\log(A_{\text{sum}})\).

• Equation 1:

  \[ CS_1 = \frac{\text{pEN} + \text{pF} + \log(A_{\text{sum}})}{3} \]

• Equation 2:

  \[ CS_2 = \frac{\text{pEN}^f + \text{pF} + \log(A_{\text{sum}})}{3} \]

• These equations ensure that each cell’s score ranges from 0 to 1, encapsulating both the proposed area and its quality.

• Max value of 250 radius is 0.763
• Max value of 1000 radius is 0.288
• Number of cells over 0 in 250 radius is 5,125,067
• Number of cells over 0 in 1000 radius is 8,937,661

• Same scale but more cells
• At higher radius area has increased influence

• Final Area score is calculated by summing individual cell scores:

\[ \text{AreaScore}= \sum_{i=1}^{n} CS_i \]

• Where \(n\) represents the total number of cells within the selected area.
• This provides a comprehensive measure of biodiversity potential for entire areas or landscapes.

• Check for Aarhus
• 12,000 new Nautre areas
• 8,000 Forest
• Discuss how radius size impacts area scores and implications for conservation planning. -Test for another country (my own goal)
