Georges River Vegetation, pre-1750. VIS_ID 4101

The Georges River Biodiversity Study comprises four main components, the mapping of vegetation communities within the catchment, habitat modelling for priority fauna and flora species and a conservation assessment to identify areas of likely high biodiversity value. The area of extant native vegetation was estimated for the Cumberland Plain using aerial photograph interpretation (API). Aerial photographs flown between November 1997 and March 1998 were interpreted at a scale of 1:16000 using a stereoscope. Remnants were classified into 6 classes according to remnant size and the density of Eucalyptus tree cover. The floristic composition of the overstorey was estimated for Classes A, B and C. Class C polygons included remnants with a non-Eucalyptus tree stratum and remnants with no tree stratum (eg shrublands). Descriptions of the understorey were mainly qualitative (eg presence/absence of shrubs, weeds, mesic species or vines), but dominance by particular genera was noted where possible (eg Casuarina, Melaleuca, Olea). Class B polygons of area less than 5 ha were mapped as class TX (scattered trees). Areas of scattered trees where agricultural activities were evident (eg heavily grazed areas, mustering yards, cropped land) were mapped as TXR. Areas of scattered trees with building structures present were mapped as TXU. VIS_ID 4101

Great Lakes LGA Vegetation 2003. VIS_ID 1287

Vegetation Mapping for parts of Great Lakes LGA undertaken by Kylie Marriot-Brown in 2003.  The study area for this Vegetation Strategy generally consists of the eastern two-thirds of the Great Lakes LGA.  Mapping has been completed for the entire 1:100,000 Bulahdelah Map Sheet.  In the south, vegetation description and mapping has been undertaken in the area that extends east from the Pacific Highway, incorporating the Viney Creek, Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens area through to North Karuah.  The mapping includes all private lands; council owned and managed lands and vacant crown lands.  National Parks and State Forests have been excluded from this study.
Due to the shortcomings of this broad mapping dataset and it’s collation methodology the council no longer considers the layer to be a reliable indicator of vegetation communities within the LGA.  However OEH has recently corrected the topology and coding of the dataset in the absense of more recent, finer vegetation mapping for the LGA area.  There are no plans by the council to redo the mapping however they have mapped vegetation communities in the Hawks Nest/Tea Gardens area and in some locations surrounding Forster/Tuncurry via API. Attribute information for that data is only partially complete as the opportunities to undertake groundtruth works are rare. VIS_ID 1287

Imbota Nature Reserve Vegetation 2003 VIS_ID 4739

Imbota Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2003 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region.  Imbota Nature Reserve is located approximately 10 km south east of Armidale and lies within the New England Tablelands Bioregion and the Northern Tablelands Botanical District.
The vegetation of Imbota Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Four communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These four communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are Endangered on state and federal acts (TSC &amp; EPB&amp;C Acts), the other two are considered poorly reserved. Most communities are of woodland and open forest structure. The communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types.

Mummel Gulf State Conservation Area Vegetation 2007 VIS_ID 4749

Mummel Gulf State Conservation Area vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2007 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region.  Mummel Gulf State Conservation Area lies approximately 60 km south-east of Walcha.
Six distinct vegetation communities within Mummel Gulf SCA were recognised and mapped on the basis of aerial photo interpretation, analyses of site data, and ground truthing/personal observations. Three of these communities are subformations of rainforest/closed forest, while the other three are types of open forest dominated by eucalypts. Altitude and position in the landscape (topography) were found to be major factors influencing the distribution of each vegetation community.

NSW Koala Tree Index 5m v1.1

This layer reflects the probability of finding a tree species that a koala is known to use for food or shelter.
The statewide Koala Habitat Information Base (KHIB) has been developed as part of the NSW Koala Strategy. It delivers the best available state-wide spatial data on koala habitat, likelihood, koala preferred trees and koala sightings for NSW.
It will be an important resource to assist government agencies, local councils and private land holders with koala conservation decisions.
The Koala Tree Index v1.1 is one dataset under the KHIB. Tree indices were developed for each of the nine Koala Modelling Regions and mosaiced together into a statewide raster. Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) individual tree species distribution models were developed for important food and shelter species, with each KMR possessing a characteristic set of species whose combined distributions added to create index. The choice which species to include in each region was determined by a process of expert elicitation. 
The statewide product is available for download below as a zipped 5m tif image readable in any spatial software package. An ArcGIS mxd is also supplied for suggested symbology.
All Koala Habitat Information Base datasets are available for download at the links below under 'Dataset relationship'.
For further information on the data layers and their development, please see the Koala Habitat Information Base Technical Guide.

Fire Heterogeneity Index (FHI) 2020/21

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.

Updated Native Woody Vegetation Mapping of the NSW Wheat-belt VIS_ID 1630

"This map and report (cited below) present the results of research on the rate of change of native woody vegetation in the Central New South Wales wheatbelt. The study was carried out over three years and analysed vegetation change between the 1980s and 2000. ;
;
The project tested methods to map changes in native woody vegetation using direct visual inspection of readily available Landsat TM satellite imagery. NPWS mapping of native woody vegetation types within the wheatbelt provided the 1980s baseline information for the study. Clearing was identified on the satellite images and digitised. The resulting clearing maps were used to produce updated maps of remaining native woody vegetation for each monitoring period.;
Systematic validation of the mapping was done by comparison with specially flown, fine-scale aerial photography. Validation results showed that the mapping consistently and accurately distinguished between clearing and areas of no-change with typical accuracy rates of approximately 95%."

Soil Landscapes of the Lismore-Ballina 1:100,000 Sheets

The soil landscape sheet provides a soil and landscape inventory of the area covering Mullumbimby, Byron Bay, Casino and Kyogle and identifies major soil and landscape limitations for both urban and rural development. This is a series of soil landscape maps based on the Land and Property Information 1:100,000 topographic map series and is designed to provide soil and landscape resource information which can be easily understood. The use of the soil landscape concept permits the integration of both soil and topographic constraints into one unit so that the map can be viewed in terms of limitations for urban and rural development. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Great Soil Group and Northcote soil classification systems.
Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping.
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.

Soil and Land Resources of the Merriwa Plateau

This digital soil landscape product contains natural resource mapping for the Merriwa. The Merriwa Plateau is located in the upper Hunter catchment including hills of the Southern Liverpool Ranges; grading to gently sloped plateau around Merriwa. The project was funded by the National Partnership Agreement to provide improved soil and landscape information for this highly productive agricultural area. It has enabled more accurate and better quality Land and Soil Capability and Soil Fertility information to be available for future updates of Biophysical Strategic Agricultural Land (BSAL) mapping under the NSW Strategic Regional Land Use Policy (SRLUP). This resource information will also assist other decision making, planning and environmental modelling throughout the catchment.
Forty soil landscape map units have been described for the Merriwa Plateau. Each unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape qualities and constraints to be identified. 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 Soil landscape 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 mapping series for the mapsheets of Dubbo, Singleton, Murrurundi and Blackville. Part of this area is also covered by the mapping of Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW.
