Vegetation survey and mapping of Carrabear NR in 2012, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Five communities were determined based on floristic analysis of 20 x 20 m survey sites, and described using dominant species and structural characteristics. Vegetation communities were mapped using ground truthing, position in landscape and stereo interpretation of aerial photos captured at 1:50,000. Lineage and attribution accuracy are unknown.

The composition and extent of the present vegetation within Cobbora State Conservation Area is described and mapped. Fifteen quadrat-based sites were sampled, with intensive field traverses,opportunistic sampling and aerial photograph interpretation. An additional twelve sites from previous vegetation surveys in the study area were incorporated into the data analysis. Four vegetation communities are described and 194 taxa of vascular plants recorded from 43 families, including three listed threatened species and a further six which are considered to be regionally significant. The reserve contains significant areas of open forest and woodland vegetation with a high species diversity, as well as an Endangered Ecological Community. VIS_ID 4014

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.

"Native vegetation is described and mapped for the Cobbora, Coolah, Coonabarabran, Mendooran and Tambar Springs 1: 100 000 map sheets. Vegetation patterns were recognised and delineated spatially using air photo interpretation (1:50,000 scale). Satellite imagery was used to geo-reference the API. A consistent provisional vegetation code was assigned to each unique vegetation pattern. Comprehensive floristic data was collected for 547 plots using a random stratified sampling procedure. A proportional sampling regime was applied to the stratification and plots randomly located within stratification units independent of land tenure. An additional mask layer was applied to distinguish between 'woody' and 'non-woody' vegetation to target survey effort toward wooded communities. ; ; Plot data was classified into 44 woody floristic groups using PATN. Additional analysis techniques included fidelity, homogeneity, nearest neighbour and indicator species analysis. Floristic groups are defined using structural dominance, diagnostic/indicator species and character species data. The provisional vegetation pattern codes from aerial photo interpretation were interrogated with respect to floristic groups to produce the map units. A generalised, additive model was used to investigate patterns in ironbark/redgum/pine assemblages in the south of the study area, where direct relationships between spatial and floristic data were unclear. ; ; A total of 24 woody map units were developed to represent woody assemblages and three map units spatially depict non-woody areas, non-native areas and regenerating vegetation (at time of mapping). These map units are described with respect to structure, floristic composition and landform unit on the accompanying five maps. Mapping of the non-woody environment was limited to recognising 'candidate' native non-woody vegetation."; ; VIS_ID 2104
