Title

Climate Change Corridors (Moist Habitat) for North East NSW

Alternative title(s)

MOIST_HA_CC_CORRIDORS

Abstract

The data integrates best available information to delineate broad wildlife corridors along climatic gradients. The objective of the layer is to best delineate large-scale wildlife corridors that are significant for wildlife adaptation to the threatening processes of climate change. The work has been based on best available key habitat habitat, vegetation and corridors map layers and therefore represents areas of the landscape that contain high conservation values and high fauna corridor values.

Purpose

This project was commissioned by the Conservation Partnerships, Parks and Wildlife Division to identify land areas to develop a strategic approach to the establishment of protected areas on private and other public lands that complements the public reserve system and enhances the CAR design principles such as representation, adequacy and comprehensiveness. The strategy will be based on improving connectivity to address potential impact of climate change. The identification of wildlife corridors for climate change will contribute to the conservation and protection of landscape scale climate change corridors. The project has strong links to the recently announced "Alps to Atherton" (A to A) Climate Change Corridor and is essentially a finer scale interpretation of the A to A concept and function at a regional scale.

Lineage

Climate Change corridors was primarily delineated by using a visual assessment of the landscape based on the spatial mapping of moist fauna assemblage corridors as derived by the existing Key Habitats and Corridors for forest fauna (Scotts, D 2003). Scotts (2003) fauna assemblages that were grouped together to best represent general climatic corridors significant for wet, dry and coastal habitat assemblages. The initial design was then refined and analysed using habitat models (Scotts, 2003), habitat quality models (Scotts, 2003), vegetation mapping (Ecological 2005) and visual checking using SPOT5 (2005) satellite imagery. This stage of the project refined the boundaries of the broad corridors and assessed the significance of the corridors for forest fauna that were considered vulnerable to climate change effects. A process of expert review was carried out on the first output from the process. This was based on an analysis of: Analysis of Scotts, D 2003 spatial corridors Analysis of habitat models Analysis of vegetation patterns from the Forest Ecosystems vegetation map 2005. Recent fauna records from DEC wildlife atlas, liscenced records from State Forest, Australian Museum and Birds Australia within and around the corridors. ; ; Positional Accuracy:; ; 10 m to 100 m ; ; Attribute Accuracy:; ; The product is based on existing desk top data (best avaialbable). No groundtruthing of the attributes has been carried out. Much of the information is derived through analysis of existing data products and expert review of those products and decision making. Therefore it is likely that some area may be subject to review if adequate field checking were to be made. The data represents a regional scale assessment of landscapes in terms of their benefit to wildlife ecology and landscape connectivity. ; ; Logical Consistency:; ; Logical Consistency checks were done at various scales using Arv View GIS for all linework and attributes. All values and information is presented consistently and to specified standards and groups. ; ; Completeness:; ; The data layer is complete to the boundaries of the study area - NRCMA + HCRCMA regions. Equivalent to and slightly beyond the EPRD North-east Branch juristiction.
