Alternative title(s)

cape_byron_pre1750_VISmap_3805

Abstract

The pre-1750 vegetation of the study area (Cape Byron State Conservation Area & Arakwal National Park) was estimated and mapped to the level of subformation where possible. A preliminary map was derived from mapping extant remnant subformations in areas with little or no evidence of modern anthropogenic disturbance, and the extrapolation of derived subformations to more disturbed areas with similar environmental characteristics (ie; soil, aspect, elevation and drainage). The derived subformation distributions were then refined using a variety of methods, including historical API. VIS_ID 3805.

Lineage

Original Method: API phototyping & field verification of dominants species by collection of data using both quadrats and transect sampling, Aerial Photography Date: 16/02/02 Aerial Photography Scale (approx.) 1:2650 Aerial photos & overlays were converted to digital images & then orthorectified within ER Mapper 6.2. Line work was then stiched & edited within ArcView 3.2 utilising the extensions EditTools 3.1 & ShapeWarp. ; ; Latest combined layer is described as:; A vegetation survey, classification and mapping program of Cape Byron State Conservation Area and; Arakwal National Park was carried out during 2007-8.; The main aims of the study were to identify, classify and map all extant vegetation within the study; area, identify vegetation and flora of conservation significance, and also identify any processes; currently threatening the vegetation. To this end, all vegetation has been surveyed and mapped via; aerial photographic interpretation, exhaustive ground truthing and data analysis. Targeted sampling; was undertaken using 62 survey plots each of 0.04ha. Examination of floristic relationships and; refinement of the final classification was undertaken using the PATN hierarchical clustering program
