Preclearing Vegetation Mapping of the Brewarrina Shire, Northern Floodplains, Far Western New South Wales VIS ID 1659

Preclearing  Vegetation Mapping of the Brewarrina Shire, Northern Floodplains, Far Western New South Wales, Edition 3.
The vegetation communities of the north eastern section of Bourke Shire is a dataset that contains information about the distribution and status of existing and preclearing vegetation communities within the Northern Floodplains of Western NSW.
The data was compiled to assist the community in the management of Native Vegetation through Regional Vegetation Management plans. The attribute data contains information on Floristics, Existing and Preclearing Vegetation Communities, Modification types and Regional statistics. The mapping was commissioned by the Northern Floodplains Regional Planning Committee in June 1997, compiled by DLWC Far West Region June 1997-December 2003 and funded by the Natural Heritage Trust, Environment Australia, DLWC and the MBDC NRMS strategy. This data set is one of a set three vegetation map products produced by the Northern Floodplains Regional Planning project. Preclearing and existing vegetation maps for the Western Division section of Walgett Shire and Bourke Shire are also complete and compatible with the Brewarrina map products.

Warra National Park Vegetation 2001 VIS_ID 4761

Warra National Park Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2001 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Warra NP is located approximately 35 km south of Glen Innes and 5 km west of Mount Mitchell. Warra National Park lies withinthe New England Tablelands Bioregion, the Northern Tablelands Botanical division and the local government areas of the Guyra Shire and the County of Gresham and the Severn Shire north of the Sara River. At present the Park encompasses 2041 ha.
The vegetation of Warra National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000).
Nine communities are defined based on PATN analysis and a further two
communities are mapped based on information derived from previous investigations. These eleven communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are considered endangered and one should be considered vulnerable. Most communities are of open forest structure, although sedgelands, heaths, woodlands, mallee scrubs and tall open forests also occur. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types. Physiography was the major correlative influence on community distribution, however protection from the south west, time since fire, altitude were also strongly correlated.

Koala Modelling Regions

The Koala Habitat Suitability Models were developed across nine koala modelling regions. This was important because the environmental drivers that dictate habitat suitability vary across NSW. For example, koala’s prefer different tree species on the North Coast compared to the Southern Tablelands. By developing regional KHSMs that are independent of one another, users can consistently compare habitat suitability scores at any given location within a region. 
This dataset defines the region boundaries or study areas for the models. The regions were defined by an agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis of the turnover patterns of koala food and shelter species, where aggregation units were represented by local government areas (LGAs) on the coast and tablelands, and Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia (IBRA) subregions in western NSW.  The nine regions fall into two divisions and so eastern and western division values have been added to the attribute table.
Tree species patterns are likely to best capture changes in habitat choice and food selection at a regional scale, where it is expected that the key drivers of habitat suitability are much the same within a region (where food choices are similar) but may differ between regions (different food choices). 
The Koala Habitat Information Base can help prioritise the establishment of new koala reserves and private land conservation agreements, ensure local actions are based on the best available information, and improve the management of threats and disease. It will be an important resource to assist government agencies, local councils and private land holders with koala conservation decisions. The Koala Habitat Information Base is not a regulatory instrument, meaning the data layers do not categorise land for regulatory purposes. It does provide the best available scientific information to support decision makers, rehabilitators, land managers and community members involved in koala conservation.

Vegetation map - Breelong and Drillwarrina National Parks. VIS_ID 4529

Existing vegetation surveys and mapping were reviewed and supplemented with 16 additional full floristic vegetation plots and over 230 rapid data points (RDPs). Plant Community Type (PCT) mapping was undertaken at a scale of 1:10,000 using a range of datasets.
A total of 14 unique PCTs totalling 8,007 ha of native vegetation were mapped including four Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs) listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act) with three of these communities also being listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
A finer level of mapping detail was provided through the delineation of structural variants of PCTs across their mapped occurrences to facilitate park management activities. A total of 15 midstorey variants were identified resulting in a total of 50 unique units which demonstrates significant variation across PCTs in Breelong and Drillwarrina National Parks.

Clarence Valley Council - Likely and Occupied Koala Habitat

The spatial data maps koala populations and habitat for six study areas in the
Clarence Valley LGA of New South Wales. The six study areas defined by Council are Coutts Crossing, Shannon Dam, South Grafton, Waterview Heights, Lawrence and Ashby. All are irregular in shape and geographically separate. 
In terms of approximate area (ha) within each study area, Coutts Crossing is 3619ha , Shannon Dam is 2868ha, South Grafton is 4282ha, Waterview Heights is 9725ha, Lawrence is 7338ha and Ashby is 4230ha. The data maps both ‘Likely koala habitat’ and Occupied koala habitat’ on all lands except NPWS Estate and Forestry Corporation of NSW estate. ‘Likely koala habitat’ occurs where there is greater than 15% dominance of preferred koala food trees. ‘Occupied koala habitat’ is a spatial subset of ‘Likely koala habitat’ where koala populations are currently viable based upon known presence and their generational persistence over time. The maps were produced under the NSW Government's Koala Strategy in collaboration with Clarence Valley Council.

Fire Heterogeneity Index (FHI) 2006/07

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 Pre-clearing Natural Vegetation of the Southern Mallee Planning Region VIS_ID 1044

This paper outlines the background to the preparation of a digital pre-clearing vegetation map of the shires of Wentworth and Balranald (Southern Mallee). The data set was prepared in order to provide the Southern Mallee Regional Planning Committee with a platform from which to discuss the scope for any further clearing in tbe region. The Basin Care M305 Structural Vegetation digital coverage was used as the base layer, significantly modifying codes (1, 2, 3, 4, 7) that mapped areas where the native vegetation had been replaced. Satellite imagery, aerial photographs and historical reports where used to identify where and what the vegetation types were that had been cleared. A total of 33 1:100,000 M305 map sheets tiles were modified to complete the pre-clearing map of the region. A summary of the status of each vegetation community in the region is outlined showing the extent of clearing and reservation.

HEVAE Vegetation Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems Value - Murrumbidgee

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 (MDB and far west subdivided further into the IBRA Sub regions).
