Abstract |
Mummel Gulf State Conservation Area vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2007 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Mummel Gulf State Conservation Area lies approximately 60 km south-east of Walcha. Six distinct vegetation communities within Mummel Gulf SCA were recognised and mapped on the basis of aerial photo interpretation, analyses of site data, and ground truthing/personal observations. Three of these communities are subformations of rainforest/closed forest, while the other three are types of open forest dominated by eucalypts. Altitude and position in the landscape (topography) were found to be major factors influencing the distribution of each vegetation community. VIS_ID 4749 |

Lineage |
An examination of the relevant aerial photographs (API) of MGSCA revealed discrete patterns of different vegetation cover and composition. The rainforests, for example, appeared as a fine textured dark green with no visible separation of the tree crowns, while individual canopies of large eucalypts were often apparent in the open forests and these usually appeared as a paler grey/green. Boundaries around these basic vegetation units were initially drawn onto the aerial photographs then later redrawn onto the 1:25 000 topographical maps of the reserve. The existing rainforest layer in the DECC network was useful in determining the boundaries between rainforest and open forest but were still far from perfect. Some areas originally mapped as rainforest were in fact open eucalypt forest (e.g. where Daisy Patch Rd follows the reserve boundary) while other areas mapped as open forest ultimately proved to be rainforest (e.g. along Burns Ck in the far south-eastern corner of MGSCA). The vegetation communities recognised in the report were ultimately delineated, named and mapped by a combination of API, relating the defined communities from the data analyses to the vegetation units, and a series of observations of the vegetation structure and floristics during a final ground truthing stage. Following the completion of the draft vegetation map on the relevant topographical maps, the communities were digitised as shape files in ARCVIEW, a software package useful in producing detailed maps. ARCVIEW enabled the vegetation units/polygons to be given different colours/patterns for the map and also generated accurate areas for each polygon. |
