Fire Heterogeneity Index - Regions

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.

The extant native vegetation in the region covered by the Bellata, Gravesend, Horton and Boggabri 1:100 000 topographical map sheets VIS_ID 2133  VIS_ID 2134

"The extant native vegetation in the region covered by the Bellata, Gravesend, Horton and Boggabri 1:100 000 topographical map sheets was surveyed and mapped. The survey effort supplemented 15 pre-existing surveys which resulted in 18 distinct surveys contributing to the floristic data set. The mapped area incorporates considerable topographical and geological variation. Much of the Bellata and Boggabri map sheet areas include low relief of the Moree and Liverpool Plains. The Horton map sheet includes the Nandewar Range, which rises over 1500 m above sea level to Mount Kaputar. The assembled data set represented 919 sites and 1350 plant taxa of which 257 were exotic species. ;
;
Exploratory numerical analysis examined alternative subsets of the data in which various combinations of exotic, annual and uncommon taxa were removed. All exotic taxa and those with single records were eliminated, reducing the data set to 856 taxa. Numerical analysis indicated 23 community groups existed. An expert review differentiated sites within one of these groups to extend the number to 24. The spatial distribution of these groups was determined with the aid of aerial photographic interpretation (API).  A total of 24 vegetation units were identified and mapped.";

Successional Stages for CRA Lower North East. VIS_ID 3892

This data layer shows the distribution of Candidate Old Growth forest and other Successional Stages across all tenures in Upper and Lower North East New South Wales as required by the Regional Forest Agreements (RFA). An expert panel convened by the NSW Environmental Heritage and Technical Committee (EHTC) in 1997 developed a process for the identification and derivation of the following Successional Stages:;
;
Candidate Old Growth ;
Disturbed Old Growth ;
Mature Forest;
Disturbed Mature Forest;
Young Forest;
Recently Disturbed Forest;
Rainforest.;
;
This data layer is an update of the original Successional Stages layer produced during the U/LNE Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA) process in 1998. The Comprehensive Regional Assessment Aerial Photographic Interpretation (CRAFTI) data were crucial for Successional Stage derivation, however they were not completed in time for derivation on freehold land in Upper North East (floristics) and all tenures in Lower North East (structure and floristics). The U/LNE Forest Agreements stipulate that data on freehold land will be updated when CRAFTI data become available. With the finalisation of the digital CRAFTI layer in September 2000, Successional Stages could be derived across freehold lands. ;
;
The same methodology for deriving the original Successional Stages layer during the CRA (RACD 1999a) was used for this process. Distribution of Candidate Old Growth forest and other Successional Stages were derived by integrating structural maturity classes from 1:25,000 scale Aerial Photographic Interpretation (API), interpretability classes derived from vegetation mapping units, and disturbance history from CRAFTI and State Forests New South Wales (SFNSW) records. The rainforest component is an amalgamation of mapped data from SFNSW Forest Typing (Forestry Commission of NSW 1989) and CRAFTI taken from the Forest Ecosystems layer (RACD 1999b).;
;
RFA projects dependent on the completion of the Successional Stages layer include fauna and flora habitat remodelling and derivation of old growth forest ecosystems on freehold land. The data will also be of use to the Department of Land and Water Conservation and Regional Vegetation Committees in land management decisions.;

Historical Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM) - Statewide 2010-11

Fire severity is a metric of the loss of biomass caused by fire. In collaboration with the NSW Rural Fire Service, the department's Remote Sensing &amp; Regulatory Mapping team has developed a semi-automated approach to mapping fire extent and severity through a machine learning framework based on satellite imagery. 
The method uses standardised classes to allow comparison of different fires across the landscape. The FESM severity classes include: unburnt, low severity (burnt understory, unburnt canopy), moderate severity (partial canopy scorch), high severity (complete canopy scorch, partial canopy consumption), extreme (full canopy consumption). 
Here we provide statewide historical severity mapping of fires &gt;100ha for the 2010-11 fire year, which is based on Landsat satellite imagery (30m pixels). From 2016/17 to the current fire year is covered in the statewide FESM data, which is based on Sentinel 2 satellite imagery (10m pixels).

Coffs Harbour LGA Vegetation 1996 and 2005. VIS_ID 3910

The vegetation of Coffs Harbour City LGA, excluding National Parks and State Forest tenure, but including all remnant vegetation over 0.5 ha was mapped and classified into type and units in 1996 by Mark Fisher for CHCC.  In 2005 Penny Kendall mapped the LGA addition area in the north that took in part of the former Pristine Shire Council around Red Rock and Corindi.  Both mapping has been merged into this one dataset for ease of use. Note the source in the attribute table.   VIS_ID 3910

Grey-headed Flying-fox Camp Boundaries

This dataset contains information on grey-headed and black flying-fox camp boundaries for coastal New South Wales. The data represents locations that have been used by grey-headed flying-foxes or black flying-foxes since 1990. Flying-foxes change their use of these areas from season to season and year to year. Few sites will be occupied continuously, and some may only be used every few years. The use of sites by flying-foxes will generally reflect the availability of native food (pollen and fruits of native trees). It is intended to be indicative of the location of such camps and is not exact. ;
;
The majority of camp locations were documented during range-wide surveys of grey-headed flying-foxes conducted from 1998 to 2004. The dataset provides presence/absence data only, ie. it does not include abundance estimates. ;
;
The flying-fox camp database is an Excel spreadsheet which contains AMG Zone 56 Eastings and Northings.  The spreadsheet has been converted to a point locality GIS layer (ESRI shapefile) via these coordinates but then reprojected to GDA GCS.  The AMG coordinates in the table have also been converted to MGA coordinates. ;
;
A polygon shapefile which is described here is also provided for camp boundaries. Camp boundaries are only present if the coverage of the camp is known. There was no set cut off size however all boundaries would be &gt;10x10m.  Camp dimensions and boundaries vary through time with changing population size and movement of animals around the site. The boundaries provided are the greatest extent documented and are not static.;
;
In 2006/7 DEC engaged a contractor to update the Grey-headed Flying-fox (GHFF) and the Black Flying-fox (BFF) database for NSW.  The current dataset contains information on the locations of camps known to be used by grey-headed flying-foxes as of April 2008.

HEVAE Vegetation Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems Value - Northern Rivers

NSW DoI Water has adopted the Guidelines for Identifying High Ecological Value Aquatic Ecosystems (HEVAE) framework developed by the Australian Commonwealth Government. In the current assessment for NSW, the HEVAE consists of four key criteria which include diversity, distinctiveness, naturalness and vital habitat. Therefore, the HEVAE vegetation GDE value layer is a combination of four individual criterion layers. The final or overall HEVAE score was determined for vegetation PCT polygons which has a high probability of being groundwater dependent. This was calculated by adding together the final scores for each criterion (Naturalness, Diversity, Distinctiveness and Vital Habitat). This score was then standardised by dividing by the maximum combined HEVAE score for a whole catchment’s vegetation GDE polygons to provide an even spread of score outcomes between 0 (lowest) and 1 (highest). For ease of data modelling and management, the dataset was divided into the following catchment management areas; Border Rivers-Gwydir, Central Tablelands, Central West, Hawkesbury-Nepean, Hunter-Central Rivers, Lachlan, Lower Murray Darling, Murray, Murrumbidgee, Namoi, Northern Rivers, Southern Rivers, Southern Tablelands, Sydney Metro and Western Division (subdivided further into the IBRA Sub regions).

Soil and land constraint assessment maps: Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment

This dataset contains maps and data on soil and land constraints that may impact on a range of land uses throughout the Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment. It reveals the physical capability of the land for different land uses, together with a broad indication of potential economic costs associated with overcoming the constraints. It should assist in many planning and natural resource management processes throughout the catchment. 
Land uses dealt with include:
  development – standard residential, medium density, high density and rural residential
  agriculture – cropping and grazing
  wastewater disposal – surface irrigation, trench absorption and pump-out methods.
Background information and methodology is provided in the accompanying Technical Report DECCW (2010) Soil and land constraint assessment for urban and regional planning.

Lower Hunter and Central Coast Regional vegetation survey VIS_ID 2226

The NPWS were contracted by the Lower Hunter and Central Coast Regional Environment Management Strategy (LHCCREMS) to carry out vegetation survey and mapping across the region. The initial vegetation survey and mapping study formed the first major part of the data collection and analysis effort for this project.;
;
The primary aims of the study were to produce a detailed cross tenure map of the distribution of the vascular plant communities in the Lower Hunter and Central Coast region; ;
provide estimates of the distribution of the plant communities prior to the arrival of Europeans (pre-1750); ;
utilise project methodologies which are consistent with the Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA) work conducted on public land in the region so that the two surveys can be amalgamated into a single database to greatly improve the resolution and usefulness of each; and provide a context for future studies so that data collection is compatible with, and contributes to the on-going development of a comprehensive regional database.;
;
This work was then updated by Ecological in May 2003. This involved the integration of additional remnant mapping, review of mapping errors and correction, additional canopy cover mapping and other general refinements of the map layer, including information on canopy condition. Extant vegetation data mapped from aerial photos, combined with a pre1750 model of vegetation communities to produce an extant vegetation community map. Photos flown between 2000 &amp; 2001 to produce extant vegetation map. This map then combined with the existing pre1750 vegetation community mapping undertaken by NSW NPWS to produce an extant vegetation community map. (VIS_ID 2226)
