Potential natural vegetation for Ashford, Bingara, Inverell and Yallaroi VIS_ID 3795

Potential natural vegetation is mapped to local scale plant community level in the Ashford (NSW portion), Bingara, Inverell and Yallaroi 1 : 100 000 mapsheets. The mapsheets fall within the Border Rivers/Gwydir Catchment Management Area. The mapping methodology involved: (i) using full floristic data to derive a plant community classification, (ii) deriving numerous environmental spatial layers, (iii) combining floristics and environmental layers in a statistical model i.e. generalized dissimilarity model (GDM), (iv) constraining model results with aerial photograph interpretation (API) linework and a constraints matrix, and (v) combining individual community probability layers into one natural vegetation map based on the highest probability per grid cell. Mapping was conducted at a 25m grid cell resolution

Purpose To provide a resource for vegetation conservation and sustainable management at the local and regional level. To provide a baseline for monitoring vegetation change over time. To understand floristic diversity, composition and structure. This mapping finalised several incomplete Native Vegetation Mapping Program (NVMP) map sheets, and was conducted under the NAP/NHT funded NSW VIS Project.;Credit to: Ross Peacock; Andres Rolhauser; Jillian Thonell; Glenn Manion.
