Title

NSW Murray Catchment Existing Broad Vegetation Types. VIS_ID 4161

Alternative title(s)

MurrayTreeCover_E_4161

Abstract

This is a derived data set from existing vegetation data. Mapped areas of tree canopy cover have been combined with broad vegetation community data. This resulted in areas of existing tree cover divided into eleven vegetation communities as well as wetlands and water categories. VIS_ID 4161

Lineage

This dataset was created by combining tree density mapping with floristic information sourced from PreEuropean vegetation data. (TreeCoverMRY and PreEuroopeanVegMRY). The two data sets were unioned using ArcGIS 9.2 (Union Tool). Areas that did not have a density attribute were deleted. Areas that did not have a community attribute were deleted. Metadata imported.

Scope

dataset

DQ Completeness Commission

Explanation

Mapping is complete. Some community consultation and user checking still to be done.

DQ Conceptual Consistency

Explanation

Good. All polygons attributed with density code, community, area and perimeter. Some other fields are partially incomplete.

DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy

Explanation

This is based on the parent data. (+-5Km for floristic information, +-10m for canopy density information)

DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness

Explanation

Based on parent data. Floristic is based on modelled data with limited checking. Canopy density is based on mapping from Air Photos (1:25000, 1:50000 scale) and SPOT Panchromatic imagery.
