Native vegetation mapping in the Blue Mountains 1999-2002 VIS_ID 2239

Most of the native vegetation in the Blue Mountains City has been mapped using orthorectified infrared aerial photographs flown at a minimum resolution of 1:6000 from December 1998 to January 1999. The far western and southern parts of the Megalong Valley were mapped separately using orthorectified truecolour aerial photography flown at 1:50,000 in 1998. At Mount Tomah, mapping was undertaken at 1:2500 due to the complexity of the geology, disturbance histories and thus variations in vegetation structural classes. On the other basalt areas and in most of the sandstone terrain, a scale of 1:3500 -;
1:6000 was used. In the case of small, very linear and/or poorly delineated vegetation types, scales as fine as 1:750 were employed using the infrared imagery.;

Riverina Bioregion Vegetation Map (NSW component) VIS_ID 983

"Vegetation coverage derived for the NSW Component of the Riverina Bioregion (IBRA).    Data layer was prepared as part of the project ""A Foundation for Conservation in the Riverina Bioregion"" by K. A. Eardley (NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, 1999).;
NOTE: This map has a smaller coverage than ID 984.;
;
Riverina Bioregion Vegetation Map (NSW component) covers the following 1:250 000 map sheets: POONCARIE, BALRANALD, SWAN HILL, BOOLIGAL, HAY, DENILIQUIN, IVANHOE, CARGELLIGO, NARRANDERA and JERILDERIE.;
;
The vegetation coverage for the Riverina was derived from a number of map sources, mainly the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney (Porteners, 1993) Hay Plain: Booligal-Hay and Deniliquin-Bendigo 1:250 000 maps; (Porteners et. Al., 1997) Pooncarie 1:250,000 map; (Scott, 1992) Balranald - Swan Hill 1:250,000 maps; and     NPWS extension mapping from Landsat imagery for the northern periphery and eastern portion of the Bioregion within NSW. ;
;
This map was derived from mapping prepared by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney and therefore, the original publications should be reviewed.    The mapis reliable for information regarding woody vegetation but limited in its capacity to describe Grasslands. The extension mapping is  very broad due to the rapidity with which it was undertaken and the constraints associated with visual interpretation of satellite imagery and the lack of field survey. The main limitation to the extension mapping is the grouping of all Grasslands into one category. The constraint with using satellite imagery meant that native grasslands could not be accurately distinguished from improved pasture. Therefore, the 'Grassland' vegetation type includes the continuum from relatively undisturbed native grassland to improved pasture with few native species; similarly, Boree Woodland (Acacia pendula) with scattered individuals, is also classified as Grassland.;
;
Vegetation types were derived by omitting structural detail and grouping common floristic categories.   This was a pragmatic decision to provide consistency between the various maps and to enable comparison at the coarse level without losing floristic detail.  Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that the removal of the structural and species dominance information reduces the usefulness of the mapping for predicting species and habitat distribution. For example, it could not be used to predict Plains Wanderer habitat because this species is reliant upon vegetation structure as well as floristic composition.";

Climate Change Corridors (Dry Habitat) for North East NSW

The data integrates best available information to delineate broad wildlife corridors, for fauna occupying dry habitat, along climatic gradients. The objective of the layer is to best delineate large-scale wildlife corridors that are significant for wildlife adaptation to the threatening processes of climate change. The work has been based on key habitat habitats (Scotts, 2003), vegetation mapping layers and NSW Wildlife Atlas and YETI databases to represent areas of the landscape that contain high conservation values and high fauna corridor values.

Fire Heterogeneity Index (FHI) 2023/24

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.

Greater Sydney Region Tree Canopy to Modified Mesh Block 2019

The Greater Sydney Region Tree Canopy to Modified Mesh Block 2019 provides both an area and percentage of canopy for city blocks and infrastructure corridors in the Greater Sydney Region as of 2019. With this dataset users can estimate tree canopy for many geographic areas (map scales), from larger local government area and precincts down to mesh block (ABS) and modified mesh block (smallest scale). Having current and accurate estimates of tree canopy supports citizens and governments to reliably identify areas of tree canopy and confidently develop urban greening and heat island mitigation strategies and actions.
This dataset provides the user with information at a known spatial accuracy. The dataset uses vegetation information derived from 2m resolution Geoscape &copy; [Surface Features](https://geoscape.com.au/data/surface-features/)  data (commercial product) combined with boundary and land use information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Mesh Block polygon dataset. Mesh Block data is augmented with boundaries (road, rail, property & water) from the NSW Digital Cadastral Database and NSW Land Zoning to produce modified mesh block boundaries the ABS Mesh Blocks.
The modified mesh block are designed to assist the planning of tree planting based on land use.  The work was undertaken to support the NSW Government Greener City Program and 2021 [Government Priority of One Million trees project.](https://www.nsw.gov.au/premiers-priorities/greening-our-city)

Grey-headed Flying-fox Foraging Habitat

Mapping of the foraging habitat areas of the Grey-headed Flying-fox in New South Wales. The Grey-headed Flying-fox is listed as a threatened species under state and Commonwealth legislation. The key threatening process for the species is loss of foraging habitat, and recovery actions aim to identify and protect key foraging areas. This project defined foraging habitat for Grey-headed Flying-foxes, ranked native vegetation within the range of the species according to the quality of foraging habitat it provides.;
;
This merged shapefile contains topology errors where there was overlapping of vegetation datasets.  The attribute table however contains the original codes and detailed information, and it may be useful to use in conjunction with the grid.  The recommendation is to use the grid layer of the same name.  This was how it was originally meant to be supplied externally - as a broad indicative layer displaying the rankings.

Salinity Hazard for Catchment Action Plan (CAP) Updates: Lachlan  CMA Area - August 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 Lachlan Catchment Management Authority (LCMA) for use in upgrading its Catchment Action Plan (CAP). The Lachlan CAP is a cabinet approved document which outlines the investment priorities and delivery targets for natural resource management across the LCMA area. The LCMA is currently reviewing and upgrading the CAP which was developed in 2004-05.

Soil Landscapes of the Forbes 1:250 000 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, the Great Soil Group and the Northcote systems.
Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the 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.

Land Use: Hunter Catchment 2004 - 2005

Land use mapping encompassing the Hunter catchment commenced in February 2006 and was completed in September 2012. The project acquired aerial photography covering discrete areas and affordable high resolution SPOT 5 imagery, which was used to update the previous 2002/2003 land use maping.;
;
Land use is classified to three separate classification schemes. These classification schemes are:;
;
* NSW Land Use Mapping Program (LUMAP).;
* NSW SCALD  (Standard Classification for Attributes of Land) Classification;
* ALUM (Australian Land Use and Management) Classification.;
;
The LUMAP Classification is OEH's (formally DIPNR and DECC) most recent classification for mapping of land use classes for NSW. It is a simple numeric classification, open-ended to enable additional classes to be added.  ;
;
Prior to LUMAP, the SCALD classification was the standard for mapping of land use in NSW. It is a combined alpha-numeric classification system.;
;
The ALUM classification is based upon the modified Baxter &amp; Russell classification and presented according to the specifications contained in www.LUCs.gov.au/land&amp;water/landuse.  ;
Version 40 of the classification is used to describe the land use classes;
;
The date of the data set is set as the land use occurring at the time the aerial photographs were flown with minor changes that have been noted during field inspections and/or appear to differ on the SPOT 5 image.;
;
Mapping for this dataset is limited to the 100k topographic sheets of:;
Camberwell, Cessnock, Dungog, Gulgong (part), Howes Valley (part), Merriwa, Mt Pomany (part), Mudgee (part), Muswellbrook and Newcastle.;
;
Where full sheets have been completed the mapping will extend beyond the Hunter Catchment boundary.
