The dataset is at 10x10 km resolution and covers the continent of Australia. It comprises predictive models for the following commodities: Cropping, Grazing and Avocado production.
The models were developed using Maxent, a species distribution modelling tool. Two Global Climate Models (GCM) and a range of climate and environmental variables were incorporated with the A1FI 'business as usual' emissions scenario to investigate spatial areas of highest probability (or suitability) for the three modelled commodities. The results were for the current climate and future climates at 2025 and 2035.
There was a general decline and shifts in highest suitability areas by 2035 for Cropping, Grazing and Avocado, with these results more pronounced under the 'worst case' GCM.
