Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA), Version 6.1 (Sub-regions)

Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) version 6.1 represents a landscape based approach to classifying the land surface of Australia.  85 biogeographic regions and 405 sub regions have been delineated, each reflecting a unifying set of major environmental influences which shape the occurrence of flora and fauna and their interaction with the physical environment across Australia.  
The IBRA Version 6.1 data consists of two datasets.  IBRA bioregions, which is a larger scale regional classification of homogenous ecosystems, and sub regions, which are more localised. 

IBRA Version 6.1 is the result of refinement of the IBRA Version 5.1 and version 6.0 boundaries due to better data availability amongst some states and territories and also based on alterations by the states/territories along the state borders.  The refined boundaries were jointly defined by the Commonwealth, State and Territory nature and conservation agencies.  Those jurisdictions to refine their data in this version of IBRA include New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia.  There are 53 newly named sub regions and 5 have been renamed from version 5.1.  Whilst there has been a refinement of sub-regional and associated bioregional boundaries in Qld, Vic and western NSW, the new sub-regions are found principally in eastern NSW.  In WA changes relate to moving the western boundary of Yalgoo bioregion to the coast, truncating the northern portion of the Geraldton Sandplains bioregion.

Nominal attributes that make up IBRA are: climate, lithology/geology, landform, vegetation, flora and fauna, and landuse.  The use of these attributes varies across the jurisdictions and for further information individual jurisdictions should be contacted.CC - Attribution (CC BY)

Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA), Version 5.1 - Sub-regions

IBRA version 5.1 Sub-regions, like their parent regionalisation IBRA version 5.1, represent a landscape based approach to classifying the land surface of Australia from a range of continental data on environmental attributes, at a finer scale.  354 IBRA Sub-regions have been delineated, each reflecting a unifying set of major environmental influences which shape the occurrence of flora and fauna and their interaction with the physical environment.
The IBRA Version 5.1 Sub-regions are the result of refinement of the IBRA Version 4 boundaries.  These refined boundaries were jointly defined by the Commonwealth, State and Territory nature and conservation agencies.  Following a DEH facilitated workshop on the revision of boundaries on 24 July 2000, spatial data refinements were undertaken by DEH in conjunction with relevant State / Territory agencies. 

Nominal attributes for the IBRA and IBRA Sub-regions are; climate, lithology/geology, landform, vegetation, flora and fauna, and landuse.  The use of these attributes varies across the States.CC - Attribution (CC BY)

Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia (IMCRA) v4.0 - Provincial Bioregions

A regionalisation of Australian waters (excluding waters adjacent to the Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands, and waters adjacent to the Australian Antarctic Territory) derived from deep-water demersal fish assemblages. A total of 41 onshelf and offshelf provincial bioregions were identified for IMCRA v4.0.

Onshelf provincial bioregions are based on the 17 IMCRA v3.3 demersal provinces and biotones identified in 1997.

Offshelf provincial bioregions were defined in 2004 as part of a program run by Geoscience Australia, CSIRO Marine Research and the National Oceans Office. They represent units that contain broad patterns in biodiversity, as represented by deep-water demersal fish assemblages, based on the assumption that the demersal fish distributions are a surrogate of marine faunal distributions. Below 2,000 m water depth, the boundaries of the benthic provincial bioregions are defined solely by the NMB (National Marine Bioregionalisation) geomorphic features data set. A total of 24 offshelf benthic provincial bioregions were defined on this basis, including 15 core bioregions representing areas of endemism, and 9 transition zones representing areas of faunal mixing.

For IMCRA v4.0 the coastline was replaced with the national 100k coastline to provide greater consistency. The Australian EEZ limit was sourced from AMB v2. Based on a decision by the Bioregionalisation Working Group, the shelf break from IMCRA v3.3 was largely retained, although in some instances the shelf break from the NMB (National Marine Bioregionalisation) provincial bioregions was used.This data has been licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia Licence.

Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia (IMCRA) v4.0 - Meso-scale Bioregions

An inshore regionalisation of Australian waters derived from biological and physical data, including the distribution of demersal fishes, marine plants and invertebrates, sea floor geomorphology and sediments, and oceanographic data.

The meso-scale regionalisation was compiled from information supplied to the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Energy and Heritage by the relevant State, Northern Territory and Commonwealth marine research and management agencies.

The seaward extent for the meso-scale IMCRA coverage is defined by the 200m isobath except where this boundary extends beyond the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone (AEEZ).CC - Attribution (CC BY)

Indicators of Catchment Condition in the Intensive Land Use Zone of Australia – Soil acidification hazard

    

It should be noted that this data is now somwhat dated!

Australia has naturally and widely occurring acid soils, but the extent has
been increased by agricultural practices since European settlement,
principally through the export of calcium in agricultural products, the use of
acid-producing fertilisers, the widespread use of legumes, the leaching of
soluble anions (particularly nitrates) below the root zone of annual crops and
pastures, and insufficient use of lime to replace lost calcium (SoE, 1998).

Acidification impacts on biophysical condition by producing soils that are
suitable only for a narrow range of plants and few crops (which typically
prefer a soil pH of 5.5 a 7.0) and limits crop productivity and agricultural
flexibility.

Drainage waters have a lower base status and are likely to have low biotic
richness.

The Digital Atlas of Australian Soils (1:2M) has been assessed in terms of
acid buffering capacity.

The NLWR land-use map (1:1M) has been used to determine areas of intensive
agriculture.

Intensive agriculture is defined as cropping and improved pasture practices,
as these land-uses tend to involve significant fertiliser use.

Where these land-use practices coincide with areas with an inherently low acid
buffering capacity (i.e. most vulnerable to acidification), a soil
acidification risk is defined.

The methodology is sound, but data reliability is low.

The indicator assumes that naturally acidic soils are at risk of greater
acidity through intensive land-use activities.

This indicator cannot be interpreted unequivocally because land management
practices are ignored.

The indicator has not been validated against the assessment question.

The main areas of acidification hazard are in the temperate and Mediterranean
climate zones of southern Australia.

The affected areas include most of the ILZ in Western Australia (Albany Coast,
Frankland, Donnelly, Blackwood, Busselton, Collie, Murray, Avon, Greenough,
Murchison basins) and Victoria (Campaspe, Loddon, Portland), southeastern
catchments in South Australia (Glenelg, Fleurieu Peninsula, Myponga and
Wakefield).

The tablelands and western slopes of New South Wales show areas of higher
acidity hazard in the finer scale assessments.

Tasmania, Queensland and the Northern Territory are rated in the better
categories.

Data are available as:

  * continental maps at 5km (0.05 deg) cell resolution for the ILZ;
  * spatial averages over CRES defined catchments (CRES, 2000) in the ILZ;
  * spatial averages over the AWRC river basins in the ILZ.

See [further metadata](http://data.daff.gov.au/anrdl/metadata_files/pa_iccilr9ab
