Title

Nandewar WRA final vegetation layer - VIS_ID 12 & VIS ID 3881

Alternative title(s)

Nandewar_ext_VIS_12; Nandewar_p1750_VIS_3881

Abstract

This project constitutes the Vegetation Mapping and Survey component of the Nandewar WRA Biodiversity Surrogates Project. The Nandewar WRA follows that previously undertaken for the Brigalow Belt South Bioregion. The Nandewar WRA area encompasses parts of the Nandewar and New England Tablelands bioregions (within NSW only) which had not been previously assessed in either the Comprehensive Regional Assessments or the Brigalow Belt South WRA.; ; The final vegetation layer is a composite of 108 individual; modelled probability surfaces, each representing a derived; vegetation community.

Lineage

1) Full floristic plot data - 2,908 individual plots compiled from 36 flora survey programs.; 2) Abiotic environmental surfaces; 3) Derivation of probability surfaces; ; Plot data analysed using PATN statistical sofware to derive a set of vegetation communities, each represented by a group of floristically similar sites. Each group modelled across the landscape by reporting sites against abiotic surfaces. Both General Additive Models (GAMs) and General Dissimilarity Models (GDMs) derived for each community.; ; 4) Air Photo Interpretation (API); API used to constrain original models. A unique set of; candidacy rules was developed for each vegetation group; based on API floristics, API understorey, and 100K; mapsheet. The rule sets were applied spatially through a; set of candidacy matrices which acted to reduce the model; probability values in some areas. For any grid-cell of a; given probability surface, the final constrained value was a; product of the original value, canopy probability,; understorey probability, and mapsheet probability of that; community for that grid-cell.; 5) Model selection; GAMs and GDMs for each community were expertly; scrutinised, and one or the other selected as the final; model for integration.; 6) Model integration; 108 final surfaces were merged into the final vegetation; composite using a new approach called iterative partial; replacement, which was designed to replace the gridcells; of over-predicted map units with those of under-predicted; units in the composite.; The final composite layer shows the predicted and current; extent of each vegetation community.

Explanation

DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness

Explanation

A total of 696 canopy-only sites not used for modelling; were available to provide an evaluation against positive; diagnostic canopy species listed in each community.; Model accuracy is between 80-97% within the extent of; existing vegetation, indicating that on at least 4 of 5; occasions, a vegetation type on the ground will be; consistent with the model (on the basis of canopy; floristics).; Model accuracy is between 41 to 70% outside the extent; of mapped native vegetation, provide some level of; confidence in the vegetation model in terms of predicting; communities on cleared land.; A more suitable approach to model validation would; require comparison of model distribution against a new set; of survey sites (preferably full-floristic) across the region.
