Vegetation community mapping for both Columbey National Park and Columbey State Conservation Area by Stephen Bell, Eastcoast Flora, 2009. A Hunter NPWS Region contract. VIS_ID 3824.

This combined Bogandyera Nature Reserve, Clarkes Hill Nature Reserve and Jingellic Nature Reserve vegetation map was finalised in 2005. It is actually a subset of VIS_ID 4197 which covers a rectangle area of the central section of the Upper Murray River Catchment, clipped to these three reserves. NPWS Snowy Mountains Region, Upper Murray Area had sought tenders for vegetation mapping of these three new reserves in September 2003. The vegetation maps of the reserves were based on the analysis of pre-existing survey data (including Southern Comprehensive Regional Assessment CRAFTI mapping), new survey data acquired as part of this project, aerial photo interpretation, and field and office validation of the results of the air photo interpretation. The attribute table does not contain textual descriptions so its useability is questionable without a report or look up table. VIS_ID 4196

Maryland National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2006 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Maryland NP lies within NSW approximately 20km north east of Stanthorpe, Qld and comprises some 2,284 ha of lands. Parts of these reserved lands were once under the control and management of State Forests, while other more recent additions were free hold land used for grazing enterprises. The reserve lies along the NSW-Qld border and is half within the Northern Tablelands and half in the North Coast Botanical Divisions. The lands are incorporated entirely within the New England Tablelands Bioregion within the local government areas of the Parish of Marsh, County of Buller and Shire of Tenterfield. The vegetation of Maryland National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Six communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These six communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Almost all of the reserve is dominated by the Eucalyptus biturbinata, Eucalyptus campanulata and Lophostemon confertus. Much of the reserve has been disturbed in the past, particularly by Logging, clearing and grazing. The original mapping was recorded as VIS ID_457 and this version has the addition of PCT and fire veg classification fields. VIS_ID 4745

Mount Mackenzie Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2002 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. It is described in the Vegetation and Floristics of the Tenterfield Nature Reserves report which includes Bluff River, Bolivia Hill, Curry’s Gap, Gibraltar & Mt McKenzie. All reserves lie north of Glen Innes and south of Tenterfield in the New England Tablelands Bioregion. The local government area for all reserves is the Tenterfield Shire and the County of Clive. Mt McKenzie NR is approximately 5 km south west of Tenterfield. It encloses 141 ha. The vegetation of five reserves within the Tenterfield area is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Fifteen communities are defined based on PATN analysis and an additional community is mapped based on information derived from previous investigations. These fifteen communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Seven communities are considered of conservation importance with two of which were considered endangered and one should be considered vulnerable. Most communities are of woodland structure, although sedgelands, heaths, grasslands, open forests and tall open forests also occur. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types. Physiography was the majorcorrelative influence on community distribution, however protection from the north west and east, time since fire, grazing and geographic locality were also strongly correlated.

Vegetation Community Mapping for Coxcomb Nature Reserve and surrounds by Paul McDonald, 2002. Traditional API methodology was used to complete this job across five reserves for the Manning Area, Mid North Coast NPWS Region:; 1.Brimbin Nature Reserve and adjoining freehold lands.; 2.Coxcomb NR and Anderson VCA.; 3.Khatambuhl NR; 4.Two sections of Killabakh NR ; 5.Freehold purchase area on northwest corner of Goonook NR, around Mount Goonook.; The project consisted of fieldwork where possible and then interpretation of the photos to define the species types present. Some follow up fieldwork was undertaken.; Rather than assign a species type label to each polygon on the area, the polygon was given a number from 1 to n, for each area. A table for the area has a description of each polygon. VIS_ID 224.

This vegetation dataset covers a rectangle area of the central section of the Upper Murray River Catchment that falls within NSW. The rectangle encompasses Bogandyera Nature Reserve, Clarkes Hill Nature Reserve and Jingellic Nature Reserve. The map was finalised in 2005. There is also another dataset VIS_ID 4196 where this rectangle area of vegetation has been clipped to the three reserve boundaries. NPWS Snowy Mountains Region, Upper Murray Area had sought tenders for vegetation mapping of these three new reserves in September 2003. The vegetation maps of the reserves were based on the analysis of pre-existing survey data (including Southern Comprehensive Regional Assessment CRAFTI mapping), new survey data acquired as part of this project, aerial photo interpretation, and field and office validation of the results of the air photo interpretation. The attribute table does not contain textual descriptions so its useability is questionable without a report or look up table. VIS_ID 4197

Freemantle Nature Reserve vegetation mapping conducted in 1999-2000. This mapping was part of the vegetation survey of Mullion Range State Recreation Area, Wambool Nature Reserve, Freemantle Nature Reserve, Girralang Nature Reserve and Eugowra Nature Reserve undertaken for the Central West District of NSW by Marianne F. Portners in 2000. Report for the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The composition and extent of the present vegetation within Wambool, Freemantle, Girralang and Eugowra Nature Reserves and Mullion Range State Recreation Area (SRA), in the Central West region of NSW, is described and mapped at 1:25 000 scale (1:50 000 scale for Eugowra) from intensive quadrat samples, field traverses and aerial photograph interpretation. Eleven vegetation communities are described and 302 species (308 taxa) of vascular plants recorded from 70 families, several of which are at their geographical limits or regionally restricted. A significantly high proportion of species (19%) are exotic. VIS_ID 888

Vegetation community mapping for a small parcel of land abutting Goonook Nature Reserve by Paul McDonald, 2002. Traditional API methodology was used to complete this job across five reserves for the Manning Area, Mid North Coast NPWS Region:; 1.Brimbin Nature Reserve and adjoining freehold lands.; 2.Coxcomb NR and Anderson VCA.; 3.Khatambuhl NR; 4.Two sections of Killabakh NR ; 5.Freehold purchase area on northwest corner of Goonook NR, around Mount Goonook.; The project consisted of fieldwork where possible and then interpretation of the photos to define the species types present. Some follow up fieldwork was undertaken.; Rather than assign a species type label to each polygon on the area, the polygon was given a number from 1 to n, for each area. A table for the area has a description of each polygon. VIS_ID 314

Nullamanna National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2008 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Nullamanna NP is a small reserve of under 300 ha that occurs within the North Western Botanical District and the Nandewar Bioregion. The reserve lies closest to Kings Plains National Park. The vegetation of Nullamanna National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Five communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These five communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Much of the reserve is characterised by Callitris endlicheri, Eucalyptus dealbata, Eucalyptus crebra, Eucalyptus caleyi and Eucalyptus moluccana with a shrub layer of Leucopogon muticus, Notelaea microcarpa, Melichrus urceolatus and Leptospermum brevipes with a ground layer of Cymbopogon refractus, Cheilanthes sieberi, Austrodanthonia caespitosa, Aristida ramosa and Panicum effusum.
