Abstract

Kings Plain National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2000 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Kings Plain National Park approximately 50 km north west of Glen Innes. The full extent of the reserve is within the Inverell Shire, the County of Arrawatta and the Parish of Kings Plains.

The vegetation of Kings Plains National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Seven communities are defined based on PATN analysis and one specialised community is as circumscribed by previous surveys. Eight communities are mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and altitude. Most communities are of a Woodland structure, however Forests exist along with Shrublands. The distribution of communities is related to past disturbances, soil depth, soil type, physiography, aspect, slope, altitude, and protection from the south west. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries. A number of specialised communities are thought to be endangered.

Lineage

The survey of the vegetation of the Kings Plains National Park was prepared by John T. Hunter at the request of the Glen Innes District of the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service. The Glen Innes District required that existing information from previous floristic surveys be collated and that 50 stratified sites be surveyed in order to complete a comprehensive survey of the vegetation and flora of Kings Plains National Park. This report represents the findings of this survey. The collated information is to be used as a guide for management purposes. The requirements of the investigation were: 1. Collate existing information from previous vegetation surveys conducted within the Kings Plains National Park. Data sources recovered included 21 full floristic sites: • Site descriptions conducted for a vegetation survey of granitic areas of the Northern Tablelands (Roberts 1983). • 19 sites conducted for the floristic inventory of the granitic outcrop vegetation of the New England Batholith (Hunter 1999). • 3 sites placed within close proximity to Kings Plains National Park during the survey of the proposed EASTLINK route (1996). • 6 sites placed within Kings Plains National Park for a survey of Astrotricha roddii (Nadolny et al. 1998). 2. Site placement to be based on selected environmental variables and be distributed based on the area they occupy. 3. Identify weed species and their occurrence. 4. Identify ROTAP and TSC Act species and their occurrence. 5. Identify regionally significant species. 6. Provide known fire ecology information on species and communities. 7. Construction of a vegetation map based on communities as defined by PATN analysis.
