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

The composition and extent of the present vegetation within the Mutawintji Lands, comprising Mutawintji National Park, Historic Site and Nature Reserve, is described and mapped at 1: 100 000 scale from intensive quadrat samples, field traverses and aerial photograph interpretation. Five broad vegetation communities are described and 530 taxa of vascular plants recorded from 100 sample sites, opportunistic records and previous surveys, nine of which are rare or threatened taxa and 33 of which are regionally significant.

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 1011

This data contains a once-off general structural description according to the National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) level 5 for the core 1 hectare plot in the Alice Mulga site in 2012. Dominant growth form, cover, height and species (up to 5 species in order of dominance) for up to 3 sub-stratum per traditional strata (Ground, Mid and Upper).

This data package includes data that were between 2007 and 2024 as part of the Southern Colorado Plateau Network's long-term integrated upland monitoring protocol in 10 national park units (AZRU, BAND, CHCU, GLCA, GRCA, MEVE, PEFO, PETR, WACA, WUPA) and 17 distinct ecological sites. Cover class, percent cover (based on cover class midpoints) and nested frequency of plant species and lifeform (functional) groups, cover of soil surface features, count of seedlings by species and size class, count of saplings by species and size class and status and diameter of overstory trees, soil stability ratings, soil texture and depth. Reports and subsequent analyses can be found in Cross References.

This vegetation map for the Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authority (CMA) area, Northern NSW, was upgraded in 2009 by EcoLogical Aust. This included adding new spatial data targeting unmapped ‘gaps’, by removing areas of non-woody vegetation previously mapped as woody, and by further refining the regional vegetation community (RVC) classification. The labelling of ‘undetermined’ types is made more consistent, and a final spatial verification of the distribution of each RVC is undertaken. Integration of the four new layers adds about 115,000 ha of ‘woody’ RVCs and 200,000 ha of either non-woody RVCs or non-vegetation to the vegetation map, while elimination of ‘non-woody’ areas of woody RVCs converts some 145,000 ha to either non-woody vegetation RVCs or non-vegetation. The net result of the review is a reduction in the extent of mapped woody RVCs by about 30,000 ha, an increase in mapped non-woody RVCs by 80,000 ha, and an increase in mapped non-vegetation (mainly cropping) by about 120,000 ha. The consistency of labelling of undetermined types in the layer is improved by replacing previous labels –'undetermined veg’, ‘undetermined non-veg’ and ‘undetermined’ with more definitive categories – ‘undetermined woody veg’, ‘undetermined non-woody veg’ and ‘undetermined non veg’. A total of about 1,053,000 ha of the map incurred a change of RVC as a result of RVC review, mainly as a result of review of grassland mapping, specifically RVCs 26 – 28, and grassy box types, including RVC 19 (White Cypress Pine - Silver-leaved Ironbark grassy woodland, Nandewar) and RVC 44 (White Box - pine - Silver-leaved Ironbark shrubby open forests, Brigalow Belt South and Nandewar). While data gaps remain in the vegetation layer, particularly in the north-east of the catchment, their extent has diminished as a result of integration of new data, so that the overall mapped coverage of RVCs has increased in the BRG, and the spatial distribution of mapped RVCs has also improved. This provides more certainty in spatial outputs arising from interrogation of spatial vegetation data, for example ‘high conservation value’ surfaces. However, the inherent problem of quality of baseline composite API data upon which the RVC surface is based continues to be recognised, and opportunities to continue to improve the vegetation map through further gap filling and field verification should be taken. Note this dataset supersedes the BRG component of the existing vegetation dataset called "Namoi and Border Rivers Gwydir Catchments composite vegetation map (2008) - VIS_ID 3842" dataset.

Gwydir River National Park and State Conservation Area vegetation mapping was undertaken in various stages by Dr John T. Hunter from 2009 to 2012 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. The Gwydir River National Park consists of: - the Mehi Section (approx.15km east of Bingara) mapped in 2010 with the Noonga Addition being mapped in 2012 - the Munro South Section (approx. 30km east south east of Bingara) mapped in 2011. The State Recreation Area consists of: - the Sepoy Section (approx. 35km east of Bingara) mapped in 2009 - Salmon and Murchinson Section (approx. 30km east of Bingara) mapped in 2012 The vegetation of the Mehi section of the Gwydir River National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Eight communities are defined. The vegetation of the Noonga section of the Gwydir River National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Three communities are defined. The vegetation of the Munro South section of the Gwydir River National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Six communities are defined. The vegetation of the Sepoy section of the Gwydir River SCA is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Five communities are defined. The vegetation of the Salmon and Murchison sections of the Gwydir River SCA is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000) based on SPOT imagery. Seven communities are defined. All communities were defined based on classification (Kulczynski association) and mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. VIS_ID 4806

Initially part of Sunny Corner SF , Eusdale NR was mapped by NSW State Forests prior to ownership by NPWS. Additional gaps in the vegetation mapping have been filled by local NPWS staff using State Forest RN17 typing and local knowledge to create a new version in 2009. An addition to Eusdale " Stony Creek" was subsequently mapped by Raymond Mjadwesch in 2011. In mapping the addition Mjadwesch updated the typing to correlate the vegetation mapping across the entire reserve with Keith (2004) Classes. The Keith Classes were revised by NPWS staff in 2013 and additional attributes about the composition of the understorey included as field "SHRB_GRASS" to assist with fire planning.

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. The final BITH map consists of 51 map classes. Land cover classes include five types: pasture / hay ground agricultural vegetation; non – vegetated / barren land, borrow pit, cut bank; developed, open space; developed, low – high intensity; and water. The 46 vegetation classes represent 102 associations or park specials. Of these, 75 represent natural vegetation associations within the USNVC, and 27 types represent unpublished park specials. Of the 46 vegetation map classes, 26 represent a single USNVC association/park special, 7 map classes contain two USNVC associations/park specials, 4 map classes contain three USNVC associations/park specials, and 9 map classes contain four or more USNVC associations/park specials. Forest and woodland types had an abundance of Pinus taeda, Liquidambar styraciflua, Ilex opaca, Ilex vomitoria, Quercus nigra, and Vitis rotundifolia. Shrubland types were dominated by Pinus taeda, Ilex vomitoria, Triadica sebifera, Liquidambar styraciflua, and/or Callicarpa americana. Herbaceous types had an abundance of Zizaniopsis miliacea, Juncus effusus, Panicum virgatum, and/or Saccharum giganteum.

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. The final MNRR vegetation map consists of 3,590 polygons totaling 69,011 ac (27,928 ha). Mean polygon size is 12.1 ac (4.90 ha). Of the total area, 37,789 ac (15,293 ha) or 55% represent natural or ruderal vegetation map classes. Agricultural vegetation such as cultivated crops and pasture account for approximately 6,238 ac (2,524 ha) or 9% of the total mapped area. Non-vegetated barren land was rare, only accounting for 45 ac (18 ha) or 0.1%. Developed areas such as open mowed fields, parking lots, buildings, and others account for approximately 1,562 ac (632 ha) or 2%. Open water is the most widespread land cover class, with an area of approximately 23,422 ac (9,479 ha) or 34% of the total mapped area. Within the total area occupied by vegetation map classes, forest and woodland types were the most extensive (17,007 ac (6,882 ha) or 46%), followed by herbaceous types (11,457 ac (4,636 ha) or 31%), sparse types (6,287 ac (2,544 ha) or 16%), and shrubland types (3,038 ac (1,229 ha) or 7%).
