SLATS - Woody Vegetation Change - NSW 2008-2014

Abstract

These layers show areas of woody vegetation change based on the analysis of multi-date SPOT5 imagery. Woody change is detected though a combination of automated and manual interpretation of the differences between images captured during summer of each year. Satellite images are selected as close as possible to the 1st of January each year and must have a clear view of the ground not impacted by smoke or cloud cover. This requirement can result in a range of imagery dates being selected for each SLATS year.

To reflect this, data naming previously included both years in which imagery was captured, for example 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2012-2013, 2013-14 and 2014-15.

For clarity data is now named using the year in which the majority of the clearing has taken place i.e. 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014.

The woody vegetation change is mapped using the SLATS (Statewide Land and Tree Survey) method which applies an automated change analysis process followed by visual interpretation of the results by experienced image interpretation staff. Landcover classes reflect the interpreted cause of woody vegetation change. Each change year has a single statewide point and polygon layer derived from approximately 310 SPOT scenes covering NSW.

Vector point format is preferred for analysis to prevent double counting when undertaking regional calculations. Points can only fall into a single region unlike raster pixels which can sit astride a vector boundary. This often occurs with analysis based on vector regions such as Local Government Areas or Bioregions.

The woody change data is also used for vegetation compliance analysis. Change statistics are available for all change periods.

Remotely sensed imagery is routinely collected by DPE and used to map vegetation clearing. This data is spatially explicit and can be used with other datasets to identify activity on individual lots. Please read the privacy collection notice for more information.
