Purpose | Targeted aerial photography interpretation (API) was carried out within the BBS bioregion. Targeted API was essential to the project as it provided overstorey pattern information which could be used to constrain the vegetation model. Full API coverage of the BBS bioregion could not be achieved due to budget and time constraints. The JVMP TWG decided to undertake targeted API complementary to the NVMP;API. The NPWS WRA Unit Dubbo, supervised this work.;;Aerial photography was sourced from the relevant agencies or from Land Information Centre. Photographs were 1:50 000 scale or 1:25 000 scale and dated 2000/2001. API map attributes and mapping pathway. The development of the API mapping pathway was based on the specific requirements of the project brief, namely: to provide full floristic and structural data that met the NVMP. ;;Guidelines for mapping native vegetation.;The API pathway included vegetation cover with more than 10% canopy cover. The mapping pathway for targeted API within the BBS bioregion was based firstly on vegetation cover, then overstorey floristic, juvenile canopy cover (growth stage), understorey type, canopy height, disturbance and land use. Thresholds applied to canopy cover (10% ccp) and minimum polygon size (10ha), with exception for special features (2ha). The JVMP;;A number of map sheets were already planned for completion under the NVMP API program. After considering the requirements for additional API within the BBS bioregion, the JVMP TWG decided to target the Cobbora, Gulgong, Merriwa, Blackville and Murrurundi 1:100 000 map sheets in the south of the BBS bioregion and the Bingara, Yetman and Yallaroi map sheets in the north. |
