Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts), Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013

The LTERN Desert Uplands Plot Network Vegetation Survey data contains presence data, species richness data and structural data for 50 permanent 1 hectare plots in Northern Queensland, Australia. This package contains data collected in 2013, a subset of a much larger dataset stretching from 2004 to 2016. The CSIRO permanent plots are situated in Tropical Ironbark Woodlands, and extend across four leasehold cattle properties that lie within an area approximately 50 km by 50 km. The plots represent three vegetation management strategies, namely: 1) clearing (where all trees and shrubs are removed); 2) thinning (where ground and midstorey vegetation is removed); and 3) unmodiﬁed native woodlands where signiﬁcant thinning or clearing has not occurred. The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2016. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Desert Uplands Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands

Globmap_unmapped

An accompanying dataset to Globmap, Swift Parrot Foraging Habitat, Globmap_unmapped comprises of polygons indicated areas where fieldwork was not carried out, within the natural distribution of blue gum (E. globulus) for the Globmap dataset.
The field work for Globmap was carried out in 2009/10 focussing on priority areas within the natural distribution of Blue gum forest, as not all areas were accessible or possible in time and resource constraints.
These areas represented in Globmap_unmapped still have some data represented in Globmap if available from existing datasets (e.g. TASVEG), but do not include the finer detail from fieldwork (i.e. presence and proportion of  subdominant E. globulus areas and predominant age of E. globulus present).

Correlated Reconnaissance Soil Map of Tasmania - Brighton

Digital representation of the revised Brighton Reconnaissance Soil Map, originally surveyed by CSIRO  in 1957. Original mapping scale was 1 inch to 1 mile (1:63360). The soil map covers the northern half of the Derwent 1:100 000 topographic mapsheet area. The revised map was digitally reproduced by DPIWE at a more reliable scale of 1:100 000. The soil map represents one in a series of Reconnaissance soil survey maps compiled by CSIRO for Tasmania. The data is comprised of lines and polygons.  Soil data attributes include soil mapping unit, unit code, unit description, and the Australian Soil Classification, Great Soil Group classification and soil profile class for the dominant soil. Additional soil information is displayed as annotation on both the Arcview version of the digital map and on the paper map. Attribute data for the soil profile description sample site locations displayed on the digital and non-digital map are stored in the DPIWE Oracle database. These sites were collected by CSIRO and DPIWE for a range of projects. They are listed as a separate 
metadata entry.
A written report describing the soil map data is available as 'Revised Brighton Reconnaissance Soil Map of Tasmania. Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment'.

Pressure from Pollution on Foreshores in the Southern NRM Region

This dataset is part of the assessment and mapping of foreshore value, condition and pressure in the Southern Natural Resource Management (NRM) Region of Tasmania. The 17 line maps produced in this study are intended to be used as a tool to assist managers and stakeholders in the identification of management issues with regards to foreshore planning, development, and natural resources. Assessment of the foreshore is based on the division of the high water line into 100m segments. Using a decision matrix and rule set, each foreshore segment is assigned a score for three main components: fields, attributes and indices. Segments are colour coded based on their attribute or index score to reflect the differing levels of overall natural value, human use value, condition, pressure or components thereof. This digital line map is a representation of the pressure placed on foreshores from pollution sources in the southern NRM region and is an attribute layer supporting the Pressure Index. Pressure from pollution is assessed based on the presence of pollution sources such as urban and suburban runoff, sewage, heavy industry, intensive agriculture, aquaculture operations and marinas within 500 metres and 1 kilometre of foreshore segments. An explanatory report is available from the data custodian which provides detailed methodology and further explanation of the dataset.

DRAFT - Special species timber - Blackwood

This layer (Blackwood) is a statewide mapping layer produced by the Department of State Growth as part of the implementation of the Tasmanian Special Species Management Plan 2017. This layer represents an indication of areas likely to contain blackwood trees. It has been created by selecting a subset of TASVEG categories whose floristic descriptions include blackwood as either the dominant or a component species. The layer is intended for use in planning for harvest of special species timbers and is indicative only. It does not provide information on land tenure, forest age or suitability of trees for special species timber products. Special species timber harvesting should only occur on appropriate land tenures with landowner permission, and follow proper planning and regulatory processes as described in the Tasmanian Special Species Management Plan 2017.

Modelled Land Capability of Tasmania - Tyenna 100,000 Mapsheet

A predictive model has been established and tested to account for variations in the landscape to reflect changes in agricultural land capability class (on a progressive rating of 1: good - 7: poor). This dataset (and map) provides a prediction of the most likely land capability class to be expected in a particular location based on several layers of readily available information. These layers included geology, rainfall, slope, elevation, forest cover and surface drainage status. These data layers were input into a Geographic Information System modelling framework. Using previous experience and limited visits in the field, the output has been produced as a digital dataset and 1: 100,000 map. It was found to provide a relatively good impression of the landscapes potential for agricultural persuits (ie cropping and grazing). It was found to represent changes in capability class very well where geology, climate or slope control capability. In those areas where subsurface drainage controlled land capability it was found to be less reliable. Overall however as these areas of the State were previously devoid of any broadscale land resource information for this purpose - this map provides a valuable fist step in discerning land capability.
