National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) Version 5.1 - Australia - Key Layer for the Sources of Estimated Pre-1750 Vegetation Data

This key layer is the index to the input datasets collated into the estimated Pre-1750 (pre-clearing, pre-European) theme of the NVIS Version 5.1 dataset (from which the NVIS Major Vegetation Groups and Subgroups were derived).

The layer is intended to document and describe the input datasets and assist in dynamic analyses of data quality and gaps in the NVIS Pre-1750 theme dataset. Important information in the spatial feature class includes the dataset spatial extent (i.e. its "footprint"), dataset number and the source of the underlying dataset. Where more than one dataset have been combined within a region (mainly NSW & NT), a complex of footprints is the result.

A lookup table provides important information, such as dataset title, scale and the on-ground range of dates of the vegetation survey. Attributes in the lookup table NVIS5_1_LUT_KEY_DSETn (from the NVIS DATASET and VERSION_USAGE Oracle tables, where n = an incremental number for minor version updates) need to be attached to this spatial data via DATA_SET_NUMBER. See metadata for this LUT for more details.This data has been licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence.

Suitable for understanding and mapping various NVIS data source and quality attributes.

Applications involving futher use of the data may need to resolve the minor, but numerous, sliver and overlap issues.



In an attempt to mitigate this issue, artificial vector layers were created for SA and ACT by cutting present native vegetation into the Carnahan estimated pre-1750 data for these areas. This assumes no change in vegetation type - just whether the type remains (i.e. hasn't been cleared). 

No vector estimated pre-1750 layers are available for NSW and Tasmania. However, estimated pre-1750 layers have been developed under the Major Vegetation Group and Major Vegetation Subgroup products, using the same logic as above.

National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) Version 5.1 - Australia - Key Layer for the Sources of Present (Extant) Vegetation Data

This key layer is the index to the input datasets collated into the Extant (Present) vegetation theme of the NVIS Version 5.1 dataset, from which the Major Vegetation Group and Subgroup products have been derived.

The layer is intended to document and describe the input datasets and assist in dynamic analyses of data quality and gaps in the NVIS extant theme dataset. Important information in the spatial feature class includes the dataset spatial extent (i.e. its "footprint") and dataset number and the state of origin of the underlying dataset. Where more than one dataset have been combined within a footprint, the polygons from each data source are represented separately (particularly in NSW and NT); however, "veg clearing" datasets have not been included directly, to keep the number of polygons manageable. See the real NVIS vector or raster data for such data.

Important information in the associated lookup table (NVIS5_1_LUT_KEY_DSETn, where n is an incremental number for minor updates) joined via DATA_SET_NUMBER includes data source (e.g. State and Territory NVIS or gap-fill), dataset name, publication scale and the on-ground range of dates of the vegetation survey.CC - Attribution (CC BY)

National Intertidal Subtidal Benthic (NISB) Habitat Classification Scheme

It is widely known that classification schemes 'provide a framework to organize research and management efforts and to provide a common set of identifiers for those participating in these activities' (Tenore et al., 2006). At any scale of activity, an agreed set of identifiers or habitat classes facilitate and enable management actions and research and this becomes even more powerful the broader the agreement. This rationale provided the impetus behind the development and adoption of the National Intertidal Subtidal Benthic (NISB) Habitat Classification Scheme Version 1 in 2007 (Appendix 3; Mount and Bricher, 2008). The Scheme was originally designed by integrating existing classification schemes (e.g. Kvitek et al., 1999; Bancroft, 2002; Ball et al., 2006; Rule et al., 2007) and defining broad habitat classes which are hierarchical, comprehensive, mutually exclusive, relatively sensor independent and well defined. This allowed for national reporting and comparisons while simultaneously enabling States/Territory and regions to define finer levels of classes for particular purposes (for example, MPA planning). The coverage of the first version of the Scheme was between the Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) mark and the approximate outer limit of the photic zone (usually 50 – 70 m depth) and included all of Australia’s Coastal Waters (i.e. within the 3 nm boundary). This area includes a wide variety of habitat types ranging from intertidal mangroves and saltmarshes to nearshore subtidal benthic habitats such as seagrasses, reefs and macroalgae. A reference area of 9 m² (3 m x 3 m quadrat or its equivalent in transect mapping) was specified for determining dominance of substrate or biota (see Appendix 3; Mount and Bricher, 2008).Data to be available in the Public Domain under Creative Commons by Attribution Licensing Agreement.

National Flying-Fox Monitoring Program (NFFMP) - Flying Fox Census

National Flying-Fox Monitoring Program (NFFMP) Flying Fox Census. 
The national flying-fox monitoring program commenced in 2013 and is a collaborative project between the Australian, NSW, Queensland, Victorian, South Australian and ACT Governments and CSIRO Land and Water. It involves quarterly counts at all known daytime roost sites of grey-headed and spectacled flying-foxes across both species' national ranges, and at black and little-red flying-fox camps where those camps occur within the range of the previous two species or outside these ranges, where monitoring is possible. The aim of the program is to establish a reliable benchmark for flying-fox populations in 2013 and monitor trends in abundance and distribution in subsequent years. Counts are carried out using a robust scientific methodology developed by the CSIRO Land and Water (this method is described at http://www.environment.gov.au/system/files/pages/391f5fed-e287-4dd3-85ac-640037926ef5/files/310112-monitoring-methodology.pdf,  http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/publications/status-and-trends-australias-epbc-listed-flying-foxes). The first full NFFMP census of grey-headed flying-foxes took place on 14-16 February 2013 and was the most comprehensive survey ever undertaken for this species. 

The NFFMP is coordinated by CSIRO Land and Water and Department of Environment in collaboration with the participating state governments.

This dataset contains all the flying-fox census data collected under the NFFMP (up to and including survey results reflected in the data revision date).
Restricted
The long term ambition of the NFFMP is to make the data publicly available. However, at present the camps and counts data are not available for public release via direct data download. Aggregated data are displayed by an external facing WebGIS viewer. Data could be released for research purposes under standard licence by negotiation with NFFMP.
