Preliminary Terrestrial Ecological Systems Marxan Results
Results from the first set of Marxan runs for the terrestrial ecological systems. Two results are included: the "best" solution that best meets targets, and the "summed solution" that provides an indication of relative importance for meeting targets.

4.1 MB
Preliminary Coarse Filter Freshwater Marxan Results
Results from the first set of Marxan runs for the coarse filter freshwater portion of the project. Data used in this run include: wetland, river, and lake classes. Two results are included: the "best" solution that best meets targets, and the "summed solution" that provides an indication of relative importance for meeting targets.
