Title

Vegetation communities of the Gwydir Wetlands 2008 and 2015. VIS_ID 4686

Alternative title(s)

Gwydir_2008_15_E_4686

Abstract

The purpose of this study was: (1) to create maps of the distribution of vegetation communities in the Gwydir Wetlands at decadal intervals, (2) to define trends in the condition of key vegetation communities, (3) to establish a series of vegetation plots within key vegetation communities for more detailed floristic survey and as a benchmark for trend analysis, and (4) to interpret the changing extent and condition of vegetation communities.

Note that no quantitative accuracy assessment was undertaken in preparing the maps. Map creation relied on expert knowledge of vegetation communities in the region. Refer to the mapping report* for further information on methods and limitations.
