Title

Wongarbon Nature Reserve vegetation map, 2014. VIS_ID 4212

Alternative title(s)

WongarbonNR_2014_E_4212

Abstract

The composition and extent of the present vegetation within Wongarbon Nature reserve is described and mapped. The existing plant community descriptions were classified into Plant Community Types. A total of 94.6 hectares were mapped and plant communities aligned. One quadrat-based site was sampled for full floristics, with an additional 2 condition-assessed sites, intensive field traverses, opportunistic sampling and aerial photograph interpretation. Three plant community types are described and 91taxa of vascular plants recorded from 32 families, including one listed threatened species. VIS_ID 4212

Lineage

Colour aerial photographs at approx.1:50,000 formed the basis of the vegetation map polygons, supplemented by 3D ADS-40 imagery (2008), orthophoto, SPOT satellite and other GIS layers. The images were interpreted stereoscopically for patterns of vegetation and geomorphology, and then matched to the vegetation site data via direct visual assignment of floristic group attributes on the remote imagery and pre-existing mapping that does not comply with current OEH classification and mapping standards. A provisional vegetation map was drafted and the study area traversed with particular sites investigated to confirm polygon labels and resolve vegetation boundaries. The final vegetation polygons were transferred and visually corrected (orthorectified) to the SPOT satellite images, ADS 40 imagery and topographic maps, then coded and digitised using ArcGIS. See Porteners 2014.
