3. Biodiversity description andthreats
Cambodia has an area of 181,035 square kilometers.
Forms part of the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot.
Cambodia's landscape is characterized by a low-lying central plain that is surrounded by uplands and low mountains.

MARXAN: Input and Output
Use this slide and simple drawings or flow diagrams to explain the core concepts of MARXAN. You should not use the IDRISI dialogue boxes. Ensure you use proper annotation and include a descriptive caption.

20. SYSTEMATIC CONSERVATION PLANNING Explaining MarxanB.
- This is the MARXAN: Input and Output (A) which adds all species and ecoregions. It includes the target and SPF respectively as well as the Tenure File.
- The Marxan Parameters as explained on the next slide includes the boundary length modifier and run mode. This is followed by the threshold and the RUNNING OF MARXAN.

MARXAN Parameters
Iterative improvement type: normal iterative improvement
Cost threshold
Threshold Enabled
Threshold: 1600
Penalty Factor A: 9
Penalty Factor B: 2
Starting proportion is 0
RUN MRXAN
Boundary length modifier: 2
Repeat Runs: 1000

Annealing controls
Number of iterations:
Temperature decreases: 1000
Methods
In summarized point form describe the parameter options you should select for the final RUN of the MARXAN analysis. You may use dialogue boxes to explain this section. (You do not need to run MARXAN as it would take too long to do the runs).

Results expected to be obtained from MARXAN
Expected Results
Explain using Diagrams the results you would expect to obtain from MARXAN. They do not need to be the actual results rather the form of the MARXAN outputs you would expect. You may use more than one slide to prepare this section.
