Lineage

The rapid data sites occur along linear transects that were designed using random stratified sampling. These reference sample-sites are termed 'rapid data points' or RDPs. The transect paths were designed using botanical expertise and the stratified data layers that were used in designing the full floristic surveys. The design and placement of transects was influenced by the following factors (in no particular order):; * Environmental stratification;; * Intensity of disturbance (i.e. accessibility);; * Proportional vegetation community sampling where practical;; * Time and resources;; * Targeted areas - remotely observed areas of anomalous texture, tone or pattern;; * Location of existing full floristic survey sites.; ; The design of the accuracy assessment comprises an evaluation protocol and a labelling protocol. The evaluation protocol specifies the type of information collected at each site; the labelling protocol is the assignment of an existing vegetation community classification to that site.; ; Each site location recorded with either SirfStar III or Garmin 60Cx GPS. The vegetation information is recorded on a hand held iPAQ with customised data entry forms via ESRI ArcPAD software. Species from all vertical strata were recorded within an approx. 10m radius of site.

Explanation

No systematic test performed No extra sites were collected beyond what was planned as part of the project.

Effective date

2001-01-01

Explanation

Sites along two transects were abandoned for logistical reasons. The selection of the transects to omit was based upon already replicated strata so that high priority sites were all captured.

Effective date

1900-01-01

Explanation

Sites were captured with both a Garmin 60Cx GPS and a SirfStar III GPS connected to a hand held iPAQ.; ; Garmin site accuracy estimated between 0-10m whilst SirfStar accuracy estimated between 0-15m.; ; Inaccuracies occur due to poor satellite coverage but mostly where dense forest canopy prevents signal access.

Effective date

Explanation

Floristic attributes collected from all vertical strata at each site were recorded by a situ botanical expert. Cryptic/ non-identifiable species in the field were identified later via samples and then that those confirmations were updated in the dataset.; ; Landscape characteristics at each site (aspect, terrain position etc) were entered via expert judgement.; ; The labelling of each site in 'degrees of correctness' to one of the 33 vegetation communities was performed by a botanical expert. Attribute accuracy in this case is not relevant as the labelling caters for 'fuzziness'. An advantage in terms of attribute consistency was that the same botanist did the full floristic surveys, derived the communities (PATN analysis) and recorded the degrees of correctness for this dataset.
