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 3859

Lineage

The mapping of pre-1750 vegetation involved tagging of soils mapping with vegetation codes at a scale of 1:100 000, guided by spatial modelling of vegetation groups using generalised additive statistical models (GAMS), and expert knowledge

DQ Completeness Commission

Effective date

2001-01-01

Explanation

Where possible every vegetation patch has been tagged with a unique vegetation code. The mapping of vegetation covers vegetation patches down to a patch size of 10 hectares in the case of forest, and down to 2 ha or lineal features wider than 100 metres,

Effective date

Explanation

Where possible every vegetation patch has been tagged with a unique vegetation code. The mapping of vegetation covers vegetation patches down to a patch size of 10 hectares in the case of forest, and down to 2 ha or lineal features wider than 100 metres,

DQ Topological Consistency

Explanation

The scientific paper in volume 2 of the journal Cunninghamia documents fully the processes used to derive the vegetation map. The vegetation groups in the vegetation map have been derived from a classification of field survey data across the study area, applied directly to API mapping data. The 194 vegetation groups have a detailed 3 level hierarchical classification, which has a logical structure from vegetation formation, vegetation class, down to the vegetation group. Each vegetation patch has a unique vegetation code. These vegetation groups are mapped from 99% of vegetation polygons on the API mapping layers. from which this raster grid has been derived.

DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy

Explanation

boundaries of vegetation are within 25 metres positional accuracy

DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness

Explanation

This vegetation map represents eight years of data collection, data analysis, and revision. Considerable effort has gone into checking the attribution of the vegetation patches throughout the region. There may be errors in the mapping of pre-1750 vegetation on cleared land because of the lack of survey data and lack of quality GIS layers for modelling pre-1750 extent of vegetation. The extant portion of the pre-1750 vegetation map has had considerable checking and revision. Over 10% of the extant vegetation has been checked and revised.
