Lineage

The IBRA boundaries have varied mapping accuracy from a scale of 1:250 000 to 1:3 000 000. The compilation scale is 1:3 000 000 and should not be used for mapping finer than this scale. These data contain the biogeographic regions of Australia which were jointly defined by the State, Territory and Commonwealth nature conservation agencies. Some regions are at the scale of sub-regions or environmental provinces.

The minimum mapping unit is 2km x 2km;

The coverage includes the AUSLIG 1:100 000 coastline with islands greater than approximately 2km x 2km and State and Territory borders.;

Explanation

The attributes include:;

CONT_CODE: continental code from 1 - 80; REG: Region initials (generally 3 letters); CONT_NAME: Region name in full. Polygons with no CONT_CODE are small islands.; ST_NAME: State name; ST_NUM: State number; RES_CODE: Reservation status; BIAS_CODE: bias; 1 = Nil = All environments or land systems are represented in proportion to their occurrence; 2 = Low = Most land systems are represented, but not in proportion to their occurrence; 3 = Moderate = The land systems missed include some of the extensive ecosystems that characterise the region; 4 = High = Entire sub-regions, or many of the extensive ecosystems that characterise the region, are missed; 5 = No reserves = No reserves present within the IBRA region ; AEZ_REG: ?; OLD_PRIORI: ?; MEAN: ?; ECO_INTEGR: Condition codes; A = Modified ecosystems dominant, ie. only small areas of indigenous ecosystems remain; L = Indigenous ecosystems present but coexisting with pastoral / timber industries; M = Indigenous ecosystems dominant with no widespread degrading land use, however processes of disturbance (feral pests, fire, tourism, etc) present; H = Indigenous ecosystems dominant with no known risk; ECO_INTE_1: Condition codes (as per above) converted to a number. M = 1, A = 2, L = 3; CMM: Conservation Management Measures. 1 = Land purchase (including purchase of pastoral leases), 2 = Voluntary Agreements (Heritage Agreements, Covenants, Regional Forestry Agreements, inter-governmental agreements), 3 = Planning instruments (eg. Changing various types of Crown Reserves such as Vacant Crown Land, and Recreation Reserves to nature conservation vesting and purposes); CMM2: Alternate Conservation Management Measures. 1 = Land purchase (including purchase of pastoral leases), 2 = Voluntary Agreements (Heritage Agreements, Covenants, Regional Forestry Agreements, inter-governmental agreements), 3 = Planning instruments (eg. Changing various types of Crown Reserves such as Vacant Crown Land, and Recreation Reserves to nature conservation vesting and purposes); CMM3: ?; COND: ?; ECO_GAPS: ?; ECO_DEG: ?; NEW_PRIO97: Priorities for filling the gaps in the NRS; 1 = Priority 1 = No reserves or low reservation status; ni reserves and/or high bias, and; threatened by current land use management activities; 2 = Priority 2 = low to moderate reservation status; high to moderate bias, and; threatened by current land use management activities; 3 = Priority 3 = moderate to high reservation status; moderate to low bias, and; threatened by current land use management activities;
