Percentage reduction in R0 across the river Severn (A) and the Solway Firth (B) due to their presence. For every farm i, we calculate 1 - ∑ j S j K(ri,j)/∑ j S j K(ei,j), where j is in the set of all farms within 10 km of i and on the opposite side of the estuary to it, S j is the susceptibility of farm j given by S j = Ns,j+ 10Nc,j[5] and ei,jis Euclidean distance and ri,jis shortest route. These values are Gaussian smoothed over a 5 km radius and then averaged. Blue: water, green: no farms.
