Smith, Robert J. (2019) The CLUZ plugin for QGIS: designing conservation area systems and other ecological networks. Research Ideas and Outcomes, 5 . E-ISSN 2367-7163. (doi:10.3897/rio.5.e33510) (KAR id:81448)

Abstract

Background

Systematic conservation planning is the most widely used approach for designing conservation area systems and other types of ecological network. Thus, user-friendly decision support tools are needed to guide conservation planners when using this approach.

New information

CLUZ is a QGIS plugin that can be used for on-screen conservation planning and also acts as an interface for Marxan, the most widely used spatial conservation prioritisation software package.
