CRAFTI - Floristics, Southern CRA, Tumut Subregion. VIS_ID 4141

CRAFTI stands for Comprehensive Regional Assessment Aerial Photograph Interpretation. In response to the National Forest Policy Statement, CRAFTI was designed as part of the CRA to provide raw data on growth stage and disturbance information of all Eucalypt forest and floristics over all or some defined regions as appropriate. This information was intended to contribute to 'old growth' assessments and also a floristics layer, which were required to satisfy aspects of the Regional Forest Agreement process. VIS_ID 4141

Flora of North Head VIS_ID 2333

The diversity, abundance and distribution of the flora that occurs on North Head is a result of the combination of several environmental influences including; soil type, topography, climate, marine (salt spray), isolation, fire history and human disturbance. Local extinctions of flora have occurred on North Head since European settlement.
The field survey of North Head used a variety of techniques including formal quadrat sampling, extensive opportunistic species identification, aerial photograph interpretation and targeted searches for threatened species.

Soil Landscapes of the Dungog 1:100,000 Sheet

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for all of central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map provides an inventory of soil and landscape properties of the area and identifies major soil and landscape qualities and constraints. It integrates soil and topographic features into single units with relatively uniform land management requirements. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Group systems.
Online Maps: This dataset can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.

NSW coastal nearshore reef extent 2017

Nearshore reef extent was classified for the NSW coast using best-available high resolution aerial imagery. Statewide mapping of nearshore reef extent was performed from 2010 to 2017 along the entire NSW coastline using aerial imagery from governmental and commercial bodies. An understanding of the spatial extent and distribution of coastal habitats contributes critical baseline information to inform decision-making and strategic planning processes.

Landscapes (Mitchell) of NSW version 2

NOTE: This dataset has now been superseded.
NSW Landscapes maps were constructed in 2002 from existing data and have a strong geologic, geomorphic and pedologic base. They do not include field validation/original mapping. Scale and reliability was constrained to 1:250,000 scale by the availability of suitable state-wide maps, although some source data (airphotos/maps) were more detailed. In the Western Division topography, geology and in particular land system mapping meant that landscapes mapping substantially better because a more uniform and informative data-base. Some blending of different environments may occur in the Riverina/eastern edge of land system maps where boundaries between different source materials were merged along subcatchment lines. In the Eastern and Central Divisions there was a patchy coverage of soil landscape, land system and vegetation maps of different scales and ages meant that these maps were largely used to verify interpretations. The weakest element of the interpretation in the Eastern and Central Divisions was the variable quality of geological maps. The source of some digital geology maps could not be determined, some map sheets differ greatly from paper maps and were abandoned. Also there is a large number of coding errors. Hard copy maps were used if they were more recent or in place of incorrect digital data. Even most recent maps contained errors. Some matching problems along boundaries occurred and if possible resolved using most recent or independent information. Independent knowledge of locations and or extensive field checking needed to correct these. A transect of map sheets was compared with other data during the mapping, it is believed reasonable product consistency has been attained.

High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - GEORGES RIVER LGA

A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the Georges River LGA was prepared by the Science Division of the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, with input layers and support for the map provided by the former NSW Department of Primary Industries-Fisheries and Department of Industry-Crown Lands and Water. The basis for the map arises from Science Division inputs to strategic planning processes. For example, the map has been included in the Land Use and Infrastructure Implementation Plans for the Wilton (Wilton2040, page 22) and Greater Macarthur (interim plan, page 36) Priority Growth Areas. This map was specifically developed for input to Local Government Local Strategic Planning Statements to support Council’s delivery of Strategy 25.1 of the Greater Sydney Region Plan.
The map shows areas where waterways and water dependent ecosystems are defined as high ecological value, based on definitions, guidelines and policies under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, Fisheries Management Act 1994 and Water Management Act 2000. Water dependent ecosystems are defined as wetlands, and flora and fauna that rely on water sources (including groundwater). The map represents an overlay of 39 indicators being used by the State Government to define high value, however, not all 39 indicators will be present in any one LGA (see Attachment 1 below). For example, there are 20 indicators making up the map for the Georges River LGA. It should also be noted that the individual indicators have not been ground-truthed and it is recommended that field assessments and/or a comparison to local mapping be undertaken prior to any decisions being made.
The map was created by initially placing a 1 ha (to correspond with a lot size) hexagon grid over the LGA, and attributing the grid with the area, length and/or frequency of occurrence of high value water dependent ecosystems. The purpose of the map is to identify strategic planning priorities for protecting and improving the health of high value waterways and water dependent ecosystems in the LGA. Once identified, the priorities can be used as a basis for identifying aquatic biodiversity refugia, stream rehabilitation efforts and setting management targets and/or land use planning controls that would protect or improve the health of waterways and water dependent ecosystems so they provide the essential services and functions expected of a cool blue-green corridor.

Expected survival of all known species 2024 data package

This is the data package for the indicator expected survival of all known species, supporting the NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024 and Expected survival of all known species: Report card for the NSW Biodiversity Program 2024. This data package reports on results for selected years between 2007 and 2020 (depending on biological group).
This data package is a snapshot of the data used to calculate indicators as reported in the NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024 and supporting report cards.
Expected survival of all known species indicator
This indicator reports on the likely long-term survival of all species, within a biological group, known to occur naturally in New South Wales. This includes species that have been formally assessed for risk of extinction and listed as threatened or extinct in New South Wales, as well as those species that have not been formally assessed for extinction risk in New South Wales.
NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program
The Biodiversity Indicator Program reports on the state and trends over time of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. The program was established by the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. We have developed a framework of indicators to help scientists, managers and policy-makers understand the current state of biodiversity, how it has changed from the past, and how it is likely to change in the future.
NSW biodiversity outlook report
The NSW biodiversity outlook report is a summary of the state of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. It is based on rigorous science and has been peer reviewed by recognised experts. New reports are published from time to time as data become available and are analysed. Each report covers the set of indicators from the framework that have been developed and are ready for publication at that time.
Report cards
Report cards are stand-alone documents that provide more detailed indicator results and commentary than the biodiversity outlook report.
Implementation reports
Implementation reports describe in technical detail how indicators are calculated. In combination with the corresponding data package, indicator results can be replicated by anyone with sufficient technical expertise.
Data packages
Each data package consists of tabular results and raw output such as spatial layers. Data packages provide supporting information for the NSW biodiversity outlook report and associated report cards. Data packages reflect results as presented in their corresponding report card and outlook report, creating an archive of the indicator results at the time of analysis.

Native Vegetation Map of Gundagai Shire. VIS_ID 3957

Current or extant distribution of native vegetation in Gundagai Shire. The mapping project involved initial stratification of the shire into units based on broad geological types, average annual temperature and average annual rainfall. Different environmental units were sampled by a vegetation plot survey. These surveys recorded all vascular plant species (ie herbs, grasses, forbs, shrubs, trees and ferns) and their abundance within over 200 plots, each with an area of 400m2 (ie 20m x 20m).

Fire Heterogeneity Index (FHI) - Myall Lakes Region

Remote sensing scientists from the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (NSW DCCEEW) Science and Insights Division have developed a new approach to mapping the landscape patterns of high severity fire, based on NSW Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM). 
High severity fire impacts an ecosystem by completely scorching or consuming the canopy biomass. Such impacts can be harmful to biodiversity, although some species benefit or even depend on this level of fire impact. 
Recent advances in remote sensing of fire and innovative computation solutions by DCCEEW Remote Sensing Scientists offer accessibility to data on fire severity and landscape patterns of fire heterogeneity across broad regions.

State Vegetation Type Map (SVTM) Modelling Grid Collection

The SVTM Modelling Grid Collection refers to a suite of around 80 environmental layers that are used for species distribution modelling (SDM). Environmental layers comprise climate, terrain and soil variables for the state of NSW. Layers are used as covariates for the modelling of plant community types within NSW.
Climate variables, such as annual temperature, precipitation, solar radiation and others are generated by ANUCLIM (Version 6.1 MTHCLIM module), and the Bureau of Meteorology, Gridded climate data (http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/climatology/gridded-data-info/gridded-climate-data.shtml). ANUCLIM input includes a digital elevation model - the elevation model used for these climate surfaces was the 1 second smoothed DEMS from the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM DEM-S see Gallant et al. 2011). The same DEM was used to create topographic variables, such as slope, aspect, roughness and topographic position index. Soil variables, such as clay, sand, silt content, organic carbon, pH, total nitrogen, and others are products of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia's, Australia-wide Soil Attribute Maps (https://www.clw.csiro.au/aclep/soilandlandscapegrid/ProductDetails-SoilAttributes.html). Soil attributes are modelled from measured soil attribute data from existing databases in the national soil site data collation and environmental parameters. 
All grids have a common projection, grid cell resolution and snapped to the same spatial extent. The grid cell resolution is 1 second or approximately 30m.
NOTE: This asset does not refer to a distinct layer, rather a collection of related environmental datasets used for vegetation modelling as part of the State Vegetation Type Map Modelling Grid Collection. This list of environmental datasets is attached as a resource. Further information can be found at https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/vegetation/state-vegetation-type-map.htm.
