Title	Bald Rock National Park Vegetation 1999_2006 VIS_ID 4707
Alternative title(s)	BaldRockNP_1999_2006_E_4707
Abstract	Bald Rock National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 1999 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region along with Boonoo Boonoo National Park. The mapping was revised in 2006. Bald Rock National Park is located approximately 20 km north of Tenterfield and occurs in two sections. The vegetation of Bald Rock National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). This forms part one of the survey of lands within these two reserves with part two of the survey incorporating newly acquired lands. Ten communities are defined based on PATN analysis and one specialised community is as circumscribed by previous surveys. These eleven communities are mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and altitude. Most communities are of a Tall Open Forest structure, however Woodlands exist along with Heaths, Sedgelands, Shrublands and Closed Forest. The distribution of communities is related to drainage, aspect, slope and soil depth. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries. A number of specialised communities are thought to be restricted to the reserve. VIS_ID 4707

Lineage	The survey of the vegetation of the Bald Rock and Boonoo Boonoo National Parks was prepared by John T. Hunter. The Glen Innes District required that existing information from previous floristic surveys be collated and that up to 100 stratified sites be surveyed in order to complete a comprehensive survey of the vegetation and flora of the Bald Rock and Boonoo Boonoo National Parks. This report represents the findings of the survey. This 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 Bald Rock and Boonoo Boonoo National Parks. Data sources recovered included 38 full floristic sites: • Site descriptions conducted for a vegetation survey of granitic areas of the Northern Tablelands (Roberts 1983). • 14 sites from the NRAC vegetation survey of the Upper North East of New South Wales (1993). • 3 sites supplementary to the NRAC sites for incorporation into the same document above (1993). • 1 site conducted for the inventory of Clarence Valley Rainforest Remnants (Gilmour 1993). • Information compiled from University of New England student excursions in 1994 (Clarke 1998). • 21 sites conducted for the floristic inventory of the granitic outcrop vegetation of the New England Batholith (Hunter 1999). Flora Survey of the Bald Rock and Boonoo Boonoo National Parks 2 John T. Hunter (02) 6775 2452 • 30 (2 m x 2 m) fire trial plots sampled once a month for 12 months (402 temporal sites) conducted at Bald Rock and the Border Trail in 1996-7 (Hunter 1999). 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. 8. Provide management recommendations. 9. Collection of voucher specimens for reference.
