Abstract |
Modelled pre-1750 Vegetation of Gundagai Shire. Pre-European vegetation was modelled to show the distribution of the major vegetation types across Gundagai Shire prior to clearance activities. Estimated current extent of the extant area of each vegetation community based on canopy layer only. The estimate was generated by overlaying the pre-1750 model with a woody/non-woody layer derived from satellite photography. It is important to recognise that the models are based on extrapolations from a few hundred plot locations, at which vegetation present was matched to numerous environmental parameters. The key parameters in determining vegetation within Gundagai Shire are soils, geology, topographic position and rainfall. Thus the model and map is only as good as the soil or geological mapping available for the Shire. The models have most use in providing the extent and context of a vegetation community across the landscape. They provide a strong indication of likely vegetation types present, but should not be regarded as a definitive guide. |

Lineage |
This dataset shows the modelled pre-European settlement (ie prior to clearance activities) distribution of the major vegetation types across Gundagai Shire. It is important to recognise that the models are based on extrapolations from a few hundred plot locations, at which vegetation present was matched to numerous environmental parameters. The key parameters in determining vegetation within Gundagai Shire are soils, geology, topographic position and rainfall. Thus the model and map is only as good as the soil or geological mapping available for the Shire. Modelling is about providing a general picture, not about being right all the time. The models have most use in providing the extent and context of a vegetation community across the landscape. They provide a strong indication of likely vegetation types present, but should not be regarded as a definitive guide. The mapping project involved initial stratification of the shire into units based on broad geological types, average annual temperature and average annual rainfall. Different environmental units were sampled by a vegetation plot survey. These surveys recorded all vascular plant species (ie herbs, grasses, forbs, shrubs, trees and ferns) and their abundance within over 200 plots, each with an area of 400m2 (ie 20m x 20m). The data was then used to identify plant communities within the shire and the distribution of these communities in relation to a multitude of parameters including geology, soil type, slope, topography, aspect, temperature and rainfall. |
