How Much Does it Cost to Expand a Protected Area System? Some Critical Determining Factors and Ranges of Costs for Queensland
Figure 5
Maps of spatially variable coefficients based on geographically weighted regression conducted for coastal and non-coastal regions of Queensland.
Current protected areas are shown in black for reference. White areas in the north-west have no vegetation mapping. A) Coefficient of log(cleared area, ha) from the geographically weighted regression for coastal and non-coastal regions. White areas in the south-east are properties without remnant vegetation and are excluded from our analysis. B) Coefficient of log(land value per ha) from the geographically weighted regression for non-coastal regions. The additional, continuous white area along the eastern seaboard is coastal Queensland, excluded from this model. North of this excluded region is Cape York Peninsula, considered separately in the model. C) Predicted log(sale value per ha) for properties with remnant vegetation. White areas in the south-east are properties without remnant vegetation and are excluded from our analysis.
