Abstract

Sugarloaf State Conservation Area Vegetation Map. A vegetation survey was undertaken within Sugarloaf State Conservation Area and adjacent lands, located near Lake Macquarie in the lower Hunter Valley of New South Wales. Multivariate cluster analysis and non-metric multi-dimensional scaling were carried out on plot-based data to classify the vegetation into twenty-four native communities, and each compared to a larger regional dataset to consolidate their regional affiliations. Although relatively small in size, this reserve conserves examples of five Endangered Ecological Communities, including Hunter Lowlands Redgum Forest, Lower Hunter Spotted Gum - Ironbark Forest, Lowland Rainforest, River Flat Eucalypt Forest on Coastal Floodplains, and Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains.

Lineage

Vegetation mapping process began with the generation of a base community layer in Manifold � GIS, extrapolating using Voronoi areas from 1691 Rapid Data Points (RDPs). Within MapInfo � GIS, this linework was then overlaid onto digital orthorectified aerial photographs. At all times in the vegetation mapping process, reference was made to the data collected during the RDP phase to confirm specific vegetation units. Final polygon attributes relied predominantly on ground data wherever possible, rather than remotely assessed data.
