Basket Swamp National Park Vegetation 2002 VIS_ID 4709

Basket Swamp National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2002 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Basket Swamp National Park Basket Swamp National Park is located approximately 30 km north east of Tenterfield and 10 km west of the Mount Lindsay Highway. It lies within the New England Tablelands Bioregion, the Northern Tablelands Botanical division and Tenterfield Shire and County of Clive.

The vegetation of Basket Swamp National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25000). Seven communities are defined based on PATN analysis with a further four sub assemblages described. These seven communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are considered endangered or vulnerable and limited within the reserve system. Most communities are of open forest structure, although sedgelands, heaths, woodlands and tall open forests also occur. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types. Physiography was the major correlative influence on community distribution,however protection from the south west, time since fire, altitude were also strongly correlated.
