Salinity Hazard for Catchment Action Plan (CAP) Updates: Hunter-Central Rivers CMA Area - July 2012

The thirteen NSW Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) are required to update their Catchment Action Plans (CAPs) in a process to be completed by early 2013. The CAPs are required to be "Whole of Government" in order to provide greater coherence between policies and plans as they develop strategic direction at regional levels. CAPs must align with or take into account common elements of agency activity, and require a high level of co-ordination. ;
A cross agency team was employed in December 2011 to produce a salinity tool for CAP updates, as a Salinity Hazard for CAP Updates project. This project has been funded by Catchment Action NSW.;
The primary output of the Salinity Hazard for CAP Updates project is a broad scale salinity hazard spatial coverage and report for each CMA. The product referred to in this metadata statement is produced for the Hunter-Central Rivers CMA Catchment Management Authority (HCRCMA) for use in upgrading its Catchment Action Plan (CAP). The Hunter-Central Rivers CAP is a cabinet approved document which outlines the investment priorities and delivery targets for natural resource management (NRM) across the HCRCMA area. The HCRCMA is currently reviewing and upgrading the CAP which was developed in 2004-05.

Fire Heterogeneity Index (FHI) 2013/14

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.

Soil and Land Information

Statewide soil and land information can be discovered and viewed through eSPADE or SEED. Datasets include soil profiles, soil landscapes, soil and land resources, acid sulfate soil risk mapping, hydrogeological landscapes, land systems and land use. There are also various statewide coverages of specific soil and land characteristics, such as soil type, land and soil capability, soil fertility, soil regolith, soil hydrology and modelled soil properties.
Both eSPADE and SEED enable soil and land data to be viewed on a map. SEED focuses more on the holistic approach by enabling you to add other environmental layers such as mining boundaries, vegetation or water monitoring points. SEED also provides access to metadata and data quality statements for layers.
eSPADE provides greater functions and allows you to drill down into soil points or maps to access detailed information such as reports and images. You can navigate to a specific location, then search and select multiple objects and access detailed information about them. You can also export spatial information for use in other applications such as Google Earth™ and GIS software.
eSPADE is a free Internet information system and works on desktop computers, laptops and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets and uses a Google maps-based platform familiar to most users. It has over 42,000 soil profile descriptions and approximately 4,000 soil landscape descriptions. This includes the maps and descriptions from the Soil Landscape Mapping program. eSPADE also includes the base maps underpinning Biophysical Strategic Agricultural Land (BSAL).

Soil Landscapes of the Wallerawang 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.
Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil and Land Resources of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment and Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW.
Online Maps: This and related datasets 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.

The Lot and Property data was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at the map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:00000 = 50m. A program of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway. Feature heights have been derived from LiDAR elevation sources including 1m and 2m DEMS. The data used to create the DEMs have an accuracy of 0.3m (95% Confidence Interval) vertical and 0.8m (95% Confidence Interval) horizontal.

Yengo National Park and Parr SRA Vegetation Survey, 1993. VIS_ID 1852

This survey drew together all survey data to form a comprehensive description of the vegetation of both Yengo National Park &amp; Parr State Recreation Area. The sampling approach for this 1993 survey was selected to be compatible with other surveys completed by NPWS. ;
;
As vegetation mapping was primarily for fire management purposes, the boundaries between forest types which behave in specific ways during wildfire were the most crucial to be mapped, and these different types will be related to moisture and structure characteristics. This was done with use of aerial photographs, enhanced Landsat TM imagery, partially completed draft mapping of Yengo, and local knowledge of NPWS staff. Limited ground truthing of these boundaries was also carried out, and the floristic details of completed plots were also used to validate the mapping.

Multi Attribute Data - Richmond River Catchment - Landform and Condition Dataset

The multiple attribute mapping process as applied in this dataset provides a vector based inventory of the landscape in terms of landuse, vegetation, presence of tree regrowth, tree and shrub canopy density, presence of understorey and soil erosion condition.;
It is referred to as Land Condition Mapping.  Mass movement is mapped where it exists as is a selected range of weed species.  These characteristics of the land are part of the larger dataset of characteristics that can be mapped using the NSW Dept. of Land and Water Conservation's full set of attribute codes.  Multi Attribute Data is a vector-based inventory of the landscape comprising polygon and linear features.  This system of mapping can describe a number of attributes (such as slope, terrain, landuse, vegetation community, presence of tree regrowth, soil erosion, rock outcrops, geology, Great Soil Groups, weed species and soil conservation measures) in to one polygon.  The value of attribute mapping lies in the fact that the data, which objectively characterises the land, can be used for a variety of purposes and is only limited by the scale of mapping and the classification used.  This translates into the availability of a range of derivative products.  Mapping is typically carried out at 1:25 000 scale using topographic maps as a base.  Outputs are most useful at a sub- catchment or regional scale but not generally at property level.

Associated Report:
"Kosciuszcko Resorts Vegetation Assessment", Ecology Australia 2003
Fieldwork was carried out on 19-29 March 2002.  A random sampling strategy was employed using the recent air photographs as a guide to the range of vegetation types present.  Sampling points were chosen to represent variation in the vegetation observed in the field.  Quadrat sizes were as follows:
*    25 m2: bogs, herbfields and grasslands
*  100 m2:  heaths and woodland.
A total of 216 quadrats were sampled.  The following number of quadrats were sampled at the respective resorts:
Thredbo         72
Perisher            54
Charlottes Pass 48
Bullocks Flat       14
Mt Selwyn       28
An additional 40 quadrats, previously surveyed at Thredbo in 2000 (J. Miles unpubl. data), were also analysed with the data set. In each quadrat all vascular plant species observed were recorded and assigned a visually assessed cover/abundance value from the modified Braun-Blanquet scale (Gullan 1978).
Vegetation mapping was based on Air Photo Interpretation (API) of 2002 1:8000 air photos, field checking and interpretation of the quadrat data.

Reconnaissance Soil and Land Resources of the Murray Catchment

This digital soil landscape product contains natural resource mapping for the Murray Catchment Management Authority area. It integrates numerous soil mapping datasets into a single seamless coverage and provides access to numerous layers of spatial information and reports on soil types, terrain and physical constraints to use for the one hundred and fifty one map units. This information will assist in informed natural resource decision making, planning and environmental modelling throughout the catchment such as help target investments in land management and future soil and land incentive projects for the catchment.
Each soil landscape mapping unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape constraints to be identified.
Constraints assessed in this dataset include shallow soils, steep slopes, mass movement hazard, non-cohesive soils, discharge zones, recharge zones, salinity, wind, sheet and gully erosion hazards, seasonal waterlogging and flood hazard. Soils are described using the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Groups systems.
Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW and Land Systems of Western New South Wales.
Online Maps: This and related datasets 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.

Western Riverina Endangered Vegetation, 2002. VIS_ID 4094

Endangered vegetation of the Western Riverina. The  2002 mapping of native vegetation depicts the native vegetation that currently exists within the WRNVR (Western Riverina Native Vegetation Region), according to the best and most recently available mapping products. These mapping products comprised several existing, modified and new spatial data sets compiled over the period from 1998 through to 2002. Decisions were made by the Western Riverina Regional Vegetation Committee (WRRVC) on the categories of vegetation types to be used to describe the vast ecological diversity of the WRNVR in a summarised format. These summarised vegetation types permitted the union of several disparate data sets. These broad groupings of vegetation types use the dominant overstorey species as the key label.VIS_ID 4094
