The dataset is classified based on Threat Level (%). It is included within the Ecosystem Mapping in Biodiversity group layer and serves as a feature layer for web maps in local mapping applications covering the Taranaki Region.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>LENZ is an environment-based land classification aimed at enhancing the management of New Zealand's environmental, conservation, and land resources. The classification process utilized fifteen spatially explicit data layers that describe various aspects of New Zealand's climate, landforms, and soils. These layers were selected based on their demonstrated functional and statistical relationships with the geographic distributions of widespread indigenous tree species.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The classification itself involved a two-stage multivariate procedure. Initially, a non-hierarchical procedure was used to allocate data points to nearly 800 environments across the nation. Subsequently, relationships among these 800 environments were analyzed using a hierarchical classification procedure, enabling the presentation of results at different levels of classification detail. Four classification levels were ultimately defined and extensively documented, encompassing 20, 100, 200, and 500 environments nationally. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>"The classification process utilized fifteen spatially explicit data layers that describe various aspects of New Zealand's climate, landforms, and soils.

The first document provides an overview of the foundational concepts of the classification, a description of the biological relevance of the underlying data layers, an overview of the first two classification levels, and practical examples of LENZ applications. The second document, more technically oriented, offers detailed descriptions of the processes used to derive the underlying data layers, the techniques employed in their classification, and case studies related to Levels II, III, and IV environments described in the initial volume."</SPAN></P><P><SPAN><SPAN>Leathwick, J., Wilson, G., Rutledge, D., Wardle, P., Morgan, F., Johnston, K., McLeod, M., Kirkpatrick.
