Lord Howe Island vegetation map. Numerous traverses made to sample the vegetation, quantitative data recorded from sites. Map prepared from API, field checking and reinterpretation combined with map correcting.Pickard, J (1983) Cunninghamia 1 , 133-266. (VIS ID 1068)

Fine scale vegetation communities mapped at 1:1,000 resolution across the Lord Howe Island Group (LHIG) are based on 2012, ADS40 digital aerial imagery captured at 10 cm resolution (LPI). The updated vegetation data and report will assist the LHI Board to better manage vegetation communities across the World Heritage Area, particularly within the settlement area where spatial accuracy in the delineation of native vegetation is critical and will assist and inform actions undertaken in delivering biodiversity management.

Vegetation association mapping undertaken as part of a resource and fire behaviour assessment for Pilliga Nature Reserve and Warrumbungle National Park in 1990. Existing datasets were collated and field survey undertaken to inform air photo interpretation of vegetation patterns. 36 field survey sites were sampled in the Pilliga. Number of sites sampled in the Warrumbungles is not recorded. Specifications of aerial photography is not provided, however 1:50,000 air photos were flown over the Pilliga and part of Warrumbungles in 1989, and 1:50,000 photos captured in 1982 exist for the remainder of Warrumbungle NP. The purpose of the project was to provide an overall picture of the vegetation types and to sample fuel loadings stratified by vegetation type/physiology/aspect for incorporation into the NPWS FIREMAPS (Fire Mapping and Prediction System) and ERMS databases. VIS_ID 969.

Vegetation Classification of the area bounded by the Curlewis 1:100,000 scale mapsheet (8935). Vegetation classified by floristic groups and structural characteristics. (VIS_ID 803)

Vegetation Map of Quanda Nature Reserve with Millyvale Addition. Original reserve area mapped 1998, Millyvale addition mapped 2003. The composition and extent of the present vegetation within Quanda Nature Reserve, including the recently acquired Millyvale property, is described and mapped at 1: 50 000 scale from intensive quadrat samples, field traverses and aerial photograph interpretation. Map digitised from Porteners (1998) & (2003). VIS_ID 800

Survey and mapping was commissioned by NPWS Western Branch Macquarie Area, Bathurst office. Six floristic quadrats were sampled to further describe the vegetation communities. Walked transects and topographic maps were used to delineate vegetation boundaries. The author correlated map units to vegetation communities described in the original Winburndale NR vegetation report (ERM Mitchell McCotter 1996) and allocated them to NSW Vegetation Classes and Formations (Keith 2004) for fire management purposes. Hardcopy maps were digitsed in the Dubbo NPWS Western Branch office. Subsequent to the final report, NPWS staff have corrected correlation errors and re-assigned some map units to the NSW classification (Keith 2004). Mt Horrible (addition to Winburndale NR) mapping supplements existing mapping for Winburndale NR [Vegetation descriptions in: ERM Mitchell McCotter Pty. Ltd. (1996) Bathurst vegetation survey for NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service: Bathurst District covering Winburndale NR, Nangar NP, Conimbla NP and Weddin Mountains NP. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Bathurst. Mapping undertaken by Roger Lembit under contract to NPWS Bathurst District office in 1997 due to inadequacies in ERM mapping.]

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. The SECN contracted with Aero-Metric Inc., through the USGS Rolla, Missouri office to provide color infrared aerial photographs. Color infrared (CIR) imagery was chosen because healthy green vegetation is a very strong reflector of infrared radiation and appears bright red in color infrared imagery, which helps tremendously in vegetation mapping efforts. This set of photography covered the full project boundary extent plus a buffer surrounding the boundary of 500 meters. The flight path and centers of the aerial photo mission were planned with 60% forward-lap and 30% side-lap in order to assure stereo viewing. Airborne GPS data were provided by Aero-Metric, Inc, as were ground-check point data. The project was referenced to the North American Datum of 1983/2007 (NAD83/07), Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 17 horizontally and to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 vertically. The aerial photographs were taken on 31 May 2009 at a scale of 1:12,000.
