Data Quality

Lineage:   The distribution of the 30 vegetation communities in the survey area was mapped by correcting the digitised vegetation layer in Hornsby Shire Council's geographic information system (GIS). The corrections were based on the GIS air photo layers. For the most part, these were high definition colour photos taken in October 2005. Also examined were hard copies of the photos at a scale of 1:11 000 (urban areas) or 1:18 000 (rural areas), using a 4X stereoscope for a three-dimensional image that greatly assisted in the delineation of vegetation boundaries. Recent air photo coverage was not available for some of the more sparsely settled areas (between Singletons Mill and Brooklyn, between Brooklyn and Cowan, and between Cowan and Berowra), and the mapping in these areas was based on less detailed 1998 GIS colour air photos, without hard copies of the photos for stereoscopic examination.
