Alternative title(s)

GundabookaNP_2005_E_3969

Abstract

The vegetation of Gundabooka National Park in North Western NSW was assessed using intensive quadrat sampling and mapped using extensive ground truthing and interpretation of aerial photograph and Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite images in 2015. Two hundred and seventy six species of vascular plants were recorded from this survey from 62 families. Species recorded from previous studies but not noted in the present study have been added to give a total of 298 vascular plant species for the Park including 31 (10%) introduced species. Twenty one vegetation communities were identified and mapped, the most widespread being Eucalyptus populnea / Acacia aneura / Acacia excelsa open woodland and Acacia aneura tall shrubland.

Lineage

Following preliminary survey, 171 x 0.04ha (20m x 20m) quadrats were sampled.

All vascular plant species occurring in each quadrat were recorded along with a cover abundance value.

During surveys, ground truthing was undertaken by driven and walked transects.

Information from these was used in conjunction with the study of colour aerial photographs (Central Mapping Authority 1995) and Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite imagery (Scene 93-81, 21.10.2003) to produce a vegetation map at 1:100,000 scale. The mapped vegetation communities were defined by floristic and structural characteristics (Specht 1970). Most communities identified from the vegetation classification were mapped at this scale. Additional vegetation types of restricted occurrence, e.g. Hakea tephrosperma tall open shrubland and Melaleuca glomerata shrubland were located as points on the map. The classified image was transferred to the MapInfo Geographic Information System for final production of the vegetation map.
