The vegetation of Gamilaroi Nature Reserves is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). This reserve is park of the NSW National Park and Wildlife Service estate. Four communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These four communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Almost all of the reserve is dominated by the Eucalyptus pilligaensis (Pilliga Box), Cadellia pentastylis (Ooline) assemblages. Much of the reserve has been disturbed in the past, particularly by clearing and grazing. Two of the four communities are listed as endangered ecological communities and a third community would be included within the same endangered determination in many instances. Most communities are of generally of a woodland structure though much closed scrub occurs. A total of 176 vascular plant taxa were found from 58 families and 130 genera. VIS_ID 4023

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

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.

Vegetation community mapping for Eusdale Nature Reserve by John Hunter, 2017. A Northern Inland NPWS Branch contract. Mapped at 1:25000 scale. Six Plant Community Types are defined based on similarity classification (SIMPER) of 62 full floristic and rapid assessment sites. These six communities were mapped based on ground truthing, satellite image analysis and landform.

The composition and extent of the present vegetation within Wongarbon Nature reserve is described and mapped. The existing plant community descriptions were classified into Plant Community Types. A total of 94.6 hectares were mapped and plant communities aligned. One quadrat-based site was sampled for full floristics, with an additional 2 condition-assessed sites, intensive field traverses, opportunistic sampling and aerial photograph interpretation. Three plant community types are described and 91taxa of vascular plants recorded from 32 families, including one listed threatened species. VIS_ID 4212

The vegetation of Brigalow Park and Claremont Nature Reserves is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Five communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. These reserves are part of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) estate. VIS_ID 4024

The vegetation & florisitcs of Boomi Nature Reserve is described and mapped (1:50 000). Six communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. One community is considered to be endangered and all others are considered to be poorly reserved and ‘of concern’. Most communities are of woodland structure, though some sections are forests or derived shrubland and grasslands based on past clearing and selective logging practices. The communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types. In general the all six communities probably are representatives of assemblages more commonly found within central and western Queensland. The three reserves are dominated in general by Callitris glaucophylla, Geijera parviflora and Eucalyptus populnea. This project was commissioned by NPWS Western Branch Northern Plains Region (ROCU), Narrabri office. NPWS staff have undertaken ground truthing and ascertained that there are some inconsistencies between vegetation communities described and mapped in this report and vegetation types observable in Boomi, Boomi West and Boronga NRs. The observed discrepancies were not able to be rectified during the term of the contract. Please consider these inconsistencies when using the dataset for undertaking reserve-scale operational, planning or environmental assessment activities on NPWS-managed reserves. VIS_ID 4019

The vegetation of Mt Kaputar national Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Ten communities are defined based on PATN analysis. Ten communities are mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and altitude. Most communities are of a woodland structure, however forests exist along with shrublands, herbfield and some grasslands. The distribution of communities is correlated to altitude, protection from the north east and north and physiography. Community distribution was also found to be related to other factors including, mainly but also soil depth, slope, drainage and easting. Many of the communities show considerable variation and integrade along common boundaries. A number of specialised communities are thought to be largely restricted to the reserve and nearby areas.

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
