Title

NSW Bionet Vegetation Classification Data Collection

Alternative title(s)

VIS Classification Database

Abstract

The BioNet Vegetation Classification Data Collection maintained in the BioNet - Vegetation Classification application http://www.bionet.nsw.gov.au/. The Collection contains:

  1. the NSW vegetation community typology including Plant Community Types, NSW Vegetation Formations and Classes;

  2. NSW Vegetation Integrity (Benchmarks); and many other characteristics of NSW Plant Community Types (PCT).

The PCT classification was developed in 2011 to establish an unambiguous master community-level classification for use in vegetation mapping programs, regulatory decisions, and as a standard typology for other planning and data gathering programs. With introduction of the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act in October 2018 PCTs superseded BioMetric Vegetation Types as the NSW regulatory vegetation classification. For more information go to http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/research/Visclassification.htm.

ACCESS: The Vegetation Classification Data Collection can be accessed through the BioNet - Vegetation Classification application: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NSWVCA20PRapp/LoginPR.aspx. or via the BioNet Vegetation Classification Web Service (an Open API) https://data.bionet.nsw.gov.au/

This Data Collection is maintained and improved on a regular basis, and is hence subject to change.

Lineage

In 2011 the PCT classification consolidated two existing community-level classifications: 1. The NSW Vegetation Classification and Assessment database (Benson 2006 & 2008; Benson et al. 2006 & 2010); 2. The BioMetric Vegetation Types database used in NSW regulatory processes including property vegetation planning, Bio-certification and BioBanking.

Since 2011, several quantitatively derived regional classification data sets have been into the PCT classification. These include Greater Hunter, Sydney Metropolitan area. Work is underway to integrate the new Northern Rivers vegetation classification. A quantitative re-analysis of the NSW east coast PCTs is due for completion in July 2017.
