Spatial Threatened Species and Communities (TESC) NSW 20131129

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied



The data was extracted from the  NSW BioNet - Atlas system. Specifically the data table has been extracted from the Atlas of NSW Wildlife / threatened species profile module. This is the primary data that is displayed in the our TSp Web application 

http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedspeciesapp/profile.aspx?id=10616. 







We intend to complete revise the way we create, manage 

and maintain K&P distributions over the next 12-18mths.

## **Dataset History** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied:



(1) Could you please confirm following data table joining method?



\[OBJECTID\] in shape file "CMA_sub_regions" is joining with \[objected\] in sheet 

"ProfileDistribution" in "ProfileDistribution.xls" file. Then, \[ProfileID\] in 

sheet "ProfileDistribution" is joining with \[ProfileID\] in sheet "Profiles" in 

same "ProfileDistribution.xls" file.

For example, for ACT (OBJECTID:73),  I can find 39  ProfileIDs in  

ProfileDistribution using OBJECTID 73. If  I want to see details of those 39 

species or ECs, go to sheet "Profiles" based on these 39 ProfileIDs.



(2) For sheet ProfileDistribution,  What is the meaning of Occurrence and its 

content class such as K, P?



'K' (Known) indicates a confirmed record within any CMA sub-region. This data 

is stored as a distribution layer in the TS Profiles module of Bionet-Atlas. 

 'P' (Predicted) indicates that this threatened species or entity is likely to 

occur in a CMA sub-region . This is an expert opinion, managed in the TS 

Profiles module. We recommend you disregard all Predicted data.



(3) For sheet Profiles

     .          What is the meaning of ProfileType's class such as Other, 

Population, SpeciesCode?

     .          What is the meaning of SpeciesType's class such as FA, FL, FU?



 "ProfileType"  attributes the type of profiles:   SpeciesCode = threatened 

species;  Populations = threatened populations;  Other =  threatened 

ecological community, or Threatening process as Other. Simply ameans of 

systematicly separating off species and population distributions.

 "SpeciesType" is to indicate whether the threatened species or population 

profile is Flora (FL), Fauna (FA) or Fungi (FU).



(4) For shape file "CMA_sub_regions"     We are looking for a unique and 

meaningful name for the smallest spatial unit. Is \[DISPLAY2\] such a name?



 "DISPLAY2" that would be the shortest, unique name.



(5) I only found Threatened Ecological Communities under field "GeneralType" 

in "Profiles".  Could you please let me know where I can find the indicator 

for Threatened Species?



Your interpretation of TEC indicator is correct. Threatened Species are 

indicated in Profiles by ProfileType = SpeciesCode.
