Fauna Corridors for North East NSW |
Alternative title(s) |
Upper North East and Lower North East Fauna Corridors |
Abstract |
Layer of regional and subregional linking corridors for fauna of the Upper North East (UNE) and Lower North East (LNE) NSW RFA regions. A new GIS program, NPWS CORRIDORS, was used to derive potential landscape linkages (habitat corridors) based on the predicted distributions of priority fauna species assemblages (see metadata for fauna key habitats). These ESRI grid outputs were refined, under a series of decision rules, to derive final corridor ESRI shapefile polygons. The final corridors map layer is a regional representation displaying the most likely occurrence of linking corridors for fauna consolidated at the regional scale. The mapping and derivation has been based on state-of-the-art data and GIS tools combined with qualitative interpretation based on ecological principles and expertise. As of April 2001, the mapping has not been formally field tested and the methods have not been peer-reviewed outside several conference and workshop presentations, all well received. A journal paper and project report are in preparation. |

DQ Completeness Commission |
|
Explanation |
The derived fauna key habitat grid is restricted to the extent of native forest defined by the Forest Ecosystems map layer derived for UNE and LNE RFA studies. For the purposes of this project these layers have been further restricted to delete areas mapped as forestry plantation, agricultural plantation, pasture and cropland, introduced scrub, cleared / partially cleared, camphor laurel. These were mapped categories that were not assigned a conservation target in the RFA process. |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Explanation |
Species assemblage distributions, key habitats and corridors have been derived from interpolated species distributions generated by modelling point locality species records (with a spatial accuracy of approximately 100m) in relation to mapped environmental layers (with a map scale of 1:100 000 to 1:250 000) (see additional metadata). The CORRIDORS analysis was undertaken at the 500m grid cell size in order to reduce computational burden. The outputs were re-sampled to 100m grid cell for display and storage. In applying and interpreting the key habitats map layer it should always be remembered that they are based on modelled data and have been developed at the regional scale, to inform regional land, water and vegetation reform programs. The mapped products represent a state-of-the-art consolidation of fauna information for UNE and LNE areas but should be interpreted in terms of a likelihood of occurrence of fauna key habitats; they are indicative representations (see mapping caveat). It should also be noted that the process of development of the key habitats layer has necessarily included qualitative judgements relating to interpretations and setting of thresholds; these have been made based on ecological expertise and explicit decision rules. |
