In order to assist end-users to synthesize the findings of the 3C modelling, we partially undertook the task of combining benefits mapping, based on simple rules. However there are many potential aggregations and no single correct way to do it, so if necessary end-users are encouraged to download the raw model outputs and undertake fit-for-purpose aggregations of their own. That being the case, the examples presented here may be a guide as to the possibilities. 

This map/data illustrates overlap across three native vegetation benefits: Conserve and Manage (Red); Restore and Revegetate (Green); and Connect or Link (Blue). Collectively the benefits combine conservation principles of representation, compositional similarity, connectivity, viability and ecosystem condition at this broad scale. Benefits were derived based on 1990-2050 climate projections using MPI, CAN and MIROC GCMs, each at 4.5 and 8.5 RCPs, topo-graphically downscaled to 250m resolution. Each benefit was calculated separately. For detailed planning purposes, refer to the individual benefit products.

The combinations of hues are shown in the legend. In addition, shades represent the strength of the benefits, where dark colour indicate low values and bright colours indicate high. NB: The legend is only indicative. Combinations of the three primary colours at less than full value are not shown on the legend. Map also features hillshading.
