Abstract

Landmark Ecological Services Pty Ltd (Landmark) was engaged by the Nature Conservation Council (NCC) to conduct fine-scale mapping of vegetation, at Ngunya Jargoon, an Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) on the NSW far north coast. Initial air photo interpretation (API) had previously been undertaken by the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) for Ngunya Jargoon, including identification of recommended ground truthing points. The OEH mapping provided a base-map with linework based on obvious patterns in vegetation detected during API. The imagery used to map the communities included Land and Property Information high resolution digital photography (ADS40, Sept 2009) and Nearmap online high resolution aerial imagery. NCC then contracted Landmark to undertake the ground-truthing, further air interpretation and final production of the maps for this project. Ngunya Jargoon is approximately 850 ha in area and is located approximately 1km to the west of Wardell, a small village on the Richmond River in Ballina Shire. The landscape comprises a level to gently undulating sand plain with two small sandstone hills in the south-east of the IPA. The soils at Ngunya Jargoon are mapped as Warners Bay Coastal Sandplains with the exception of a small area to the south mapped as Birdsview Variant a Sedimentary High quartz and a small area mapped as Disturbed Terrain in the northwest.

Lineage

The data set relates to vegetation mapping coverage of Ngunya Jargoon covering an area of approximately 850 ha at 1:10,000 scale.

API used images of 2009 air photography in conjunction with an online provider of high resolution imagery, (Nearmap). API was undertaken to further refine the OEH outlines and to assign a vegetation type to each polygon.

Ground-truthing was undertaken between October 2014 and March 2015. Ground trothing was undertaken to inform and confirm (or modify) the mapped vegetation types, to document their structure and floristics in more detail, and to illustrate the range of variation within and between the polygons. Prior to API, ground-truthing was carried out at 38 separate locations using OEH recommended points as a guide. This information was used to inform the API. Further ground-truthing was carried out during and after the API process.

Field checking was undertaken by traverse, i.e. the vegetation was inspected by way of meandering transects within the polygon, or by remote inspection from roadsides or other vantage points, often using binoculars. Where inspection by traverse was undertaken, details of vegetation structure and floristics were recorded, including dominant species in each stratum.
