Vegetation Type mapping by the SNW Dept of Environment and Conservation (NSW). Vegetation polygons attributed with dominant overstorey species and various land features through aerial photograph interpretation of contact prints at a scale of either 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 (availablility was 1995). The mapping covers parts of the Temora, Young, Boorowa, Cootamundra and Junee 1:100,000 mapsheets. Polygons were attributed using the API pathway described in Central West and Lachlan CMA Vegetation Mapping project (DEC 2006a and DEC 2006b). VIS_ID 4165

Vegetation mapping for part of the Peak Hill 1:100,000 mapsheet. Vegetation polygons attributed with dominant overstorey species and various land features through aerial photograph interpretation of contact prints at a scale of either 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 (1995). Polygons were attributed using the API pathway described in Central West and Lachlan CMA Vegetation Mapping reports (DEC 2006a and DEC 2006b). Extensive ground truthing was undertaken to attribute the polygons with species information. VIS_ID 4164

Vegetation map digitised from Lembit, R. & Skelton, N. (1998).; ; The vegetation of Copperhania, Barton, Dapper & Boginderra Hills NRs, located in central-western NSW, is described and mapped at a scale of 1:50 000 based on field survey quadrats, aerial photo interpretation and multivariate analysis. 25 communities in total are described for the four reserves, eight in Copperhania NR, six in each of Barton and Dapper NRs and five in Boginderra Hills.; ; VIS_ID 848

Six vegetation communities were mapped following field survey and full floristic sampling. Colour aerial photographs at 1:50 000 scale formed the basis of the vegetation map polygons. The images were interpreted stereoscopically for patterns of vegetation and geomorphology, and matched to the vegetation site data. A provisional vegetation map was drafted on acetate overlays and the linework and boundaries checked during ground-truthing. The study area was traversed and particular sites investigated to confirm polygon labels and resolve vegetation boundaries. The final vegetation polygons were then transferred and corrected to the 1:50 000 topographic map sheet and coded. Linework was transferred to hardcopy topographic mapsheets and digitised using a digitising tablet and ArcView 3.3. A code denoting the vegetation community was then attributed to each polygon based on the hardcopy linework. Dataset was reprojected by DECCW from AGD66 Zone 55 to GDA94 using ArcMAP 9.3.

Avondale State Conservation Area vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2014 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Avondale State Conservation Area is located approximately 36 km north east of Armidale and is accessed via the Rockvale Road. The reserve occurs on eastern side of the central New England Tablelands. The vegetation of Avondale State Conservation Area is described and mapped (scale1:10 000) based on ADS40 Imagery (2012). Six floristic communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association) and seven Plant Community Types (VIS) are mapped. These six floristic communities and seven PCTs were mapped based on ground truthing, ADS40 interpretation and landform. Two Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) were recognised and mapped also.

This polygon shapefile is a 1:25,000 vegetation mapping dataset combining 1999 CRAFTI and Forest Ecosystem mapping. Project undertaken by Kendall and Kendall Ecological Consultants and GECO Environmental for Kempsey Shire Council. The dataset covers the entire Macleay Coastal subcatchment (as per DLWC Stressed Rivers) and all areas south of this within the Kempsey LGA but east of the Pacific Highway. (VIS_ID 243)

Vegetation map digitised from Porteners, M.F. (1998). The composition and extent of the present vegetation in Weetalibah Nature Reserve is described and mapped at 1:50 000 scale from quadrat samples, field traverses and aerial photograph interpretation. Three vegetation communities are described and 125 species (127 taxa) of vascular plants recorded from 38 families, several of which are at their north-western geographical limit or regionally restricted. One species is listed under Schedule 2 of the 1995 NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act." VIS_ID 1014

This polygon feature class represents vegetation communities mapped at Arches National Park to an alliance or association level, depending on the photo signature. The polygons were generated using guidelines set by the Standardized National Vegetation Classification System (October 1995). Original lines were drawn on mylar overlays using the DOQs collected in June of 2002. Hard copy 9x9 photography was used for photo interpretation. Traditional image interpretation cues were used to develop the polygons, such as shape, size, pattern, tone, texture, color, and shadow. Additional data layers were used in aiding the interpretation, such as slope, hydrology, soils, geography, and ground-collected vegetation information. The minimum mapping unit was 1/2 hectare. The lines developed in the image interpretation step were scanned using a large format scanner. The resultant scanned image was converted into line work for use within ArcGIS. The line work was cleaned, polygons created and attributed. The attributed vegetation classes were subjected to an accuracy assessment, following which final adjustments were made to the vegetation classes. As with any digital layer, this layer is a representation of what is actually occurring on the ground. Errors are inherent in any interpretation of ground qualities. Due to the "snapshot" nature of the DOQs, this vegetation layer reflects conditions that existed when the imagery was collected.

The vegetation of Copperhania, Barton, Dapper & Boginderra Hills NRs, located in central-western NSW, is described and mapped at a scale of 1:50 000 based on field survey quadrats, aerial photo interpretation and multivariate analysis. 25 communities in total are described for the four reserves, eight in Copperhania NR, six in each of Barton and Dapper NRs and five in Boginderra Hills.
