Abstract

Native Vegetation and Candidate Endangered Ecological Community mapping for Kempsey LGA East by GECO Environmental and Kendall and Kendall Ecological consultants in 2004. The study area covers an eastern portion of the Kempsey LGA, defined as the area of the LGA east of the Pacific Highway plus areas west of the Highway but within the Macleay Coastal subcatchment. The total area is approximately 990 km2, however approximately 140 km2 of National Park and 69 km2 State Forest were excluded. VIS_ID 373

Lineage

Aerial photograph interpretation and mapping of vegetation polygons was undertaken by Penny Kendall (principal Botanist, Flora Ecologist and Aerial Photograph Interpreter, Kendall and Kendall Ecological Services Pty Ltd). Compilation of mapping into a GIS framework was undertaken by Damon Telfer (GECO Environmental).

Derivation of Candidate Endangered Ecological Communities was undertaken jointly by Penny Kendall and Damon Telfer.

Roger Dwyer of Roger Dwyer and Associates Mapping Consultants assisted with scanning and vectorisation of the mapped vegetation polygons. Data was provided to the project under licence from the NSW Department of Environment and Conservation and NSW Department of Natural Resources.

Mapping methodology

Penny Kendall of Kendall and Kendall Ecological Consultants was subcontracted to undertake the Forest Ecosystem mapping for this Study. Forest Ecosystem mapping was undertaken wherever it was evident that vegetation areas in excess of 0.5Ha were not mapped, where post CRAFTI clearing had occurred, or where errors in the CRAFTI mapping were identified. Areas of National Park and State Forest were excluded from review.

The mapping methodology used to improve the existing vegetation mapping dataset (as described above) and to map gaps in the existing dataset was as follows.

Air photo interpretation (API)

Stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photographs was undertaken across the study area. The photography used was 1:25000 colour flown in August 2003. Clear overlays attached to the photos were marked using a fine (O.18mm) mapping pen. The line work was stereoscopically transferred onto Al sized plastic overlays, scanned, and vectorised to produce a GIS coverage of the mapped polygons. Polygons were individually labelled and then attributed using ArcView GIS. The API Pathway is outlined in Figure 2.

Floristic mapping

The floristic mapping was the primary attribute used to define the polygon location and extent. The forest ecosystem vegetation classification developed by RACD 1999 and refmed by DEC 2004 was used.

Structural mapping

Although the floristic composition of the polygons was the primary determinate for polygon location and extent, each polygon was also assigned a structural code based on several structural attributes. Structural mapping is important in determining the habitat and conservation values of vegetation communities. The structural attributes recorded include upper strata density and age, mid strata type and relative disturbance.
