Forest Ecosystems: Vegetation of the Southern Forests. VIS ID 3858.

Alternative title(s)

FE_CRA_STHN_Revised05_E_3858

Abstract

The Southern Forests region covers an area of south-eastern New South Wales south of Oberon and Kiama and east of Albury and Boorowa (between longitude 146o 56 and 147o 6 E, and between latitude 33o 2 and 37 o 6 S). The total area mapped was 3 086 200 hectares. Terrestrial, wetland, and estuarine vegetation of the Southern Forests region were classified into 206 vegetation groups and mapped at a scale between 1:25 000 and 1:100 000. VIS ID 3858.

Lineage

The vegetation classification was based on a cluster analysis of detailed field surveys of vascular plants, as well as field knowledge in the absence of field survey data. The original primary classification was based on 3740 vegetation samples with full floristics cover abundance data. Additional classifications of full floristics presence-absence and tree canopy data were carried out to guide mapping in areas with few full floristic samples. The mapping of extant vegetation was carried out by tagging vegetation polygons with vegetation codes, guided by expert knowledge, using field survey data classified into vegetation groups, remote sensing, and other environmental spatial data. Profiles of each of the vegetation groups can be found in the Volume 9 (2) of Cunninghamia on the CD-ROM attched with the scientific paper. The vegetation profiles provide key indicator species, descriptions, statistics, and lists of informative plant species.
