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.

Vegetation survey and mapping of Gunyerwarildi National Park in 2009, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Four 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.

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 vegetation of Gundabooka National Park in North Western NSW was assessed using intensive quadrat sampling and mapped using extensive ground truthing and interpretation of aerial photograph and Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite images in 2015. Two hundred and seventy six species of vascular plants were recorded from this survey from 62 families. Species recorded from previous studies but not noted in the present study have been added to give a total of 298 vascular plant species for the Park including 31 (10%) introduced species. Twenty one vegetation communities were identified and mapped, the most widespread being Eucalyptus populnea / Acacia aneura / Acacia excelsa open woodland and Acacia aneura tall shrubland.

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

Vegetation survey and mapping of Killarney State Conservation Area in 2008, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Six 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 vegetation of Kinchega National Park in far western NSW was assessed using sampling of 171 full floristic quadrats in 1996-97, stratified by land systems. Fifteen vegetation communities were identified through floristic analysis and described in terms of structure and characteristic species, and 352 species of vascular plants recorded. Mapping was undertaken following ground truthing and interpretation of 1:50,000 scale colour aerial photographs from 1995 and Landsat TM satellite images (30 x 30 m pixels). Polygons were assigned through visual interpretation of detectable vegetation community attributes on aerial photography and remote imagery. The final map was produced at a scale of 1:100,000.

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.]

Vegetation survey and mapping of Cubbo, Etoo and Dewsons Lease sections of the Pilliga SCA, NP and Pilliga West SCA in 2010, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Thirteen 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.
