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

These data were converted from the originally delivered Microsoft Access PLOTs database from the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Gateway National Recreation Area. These comma-delimited data tables contain(s) vegetation mapping plot classification and accuracy assessment data, as well as summary information about the data itself. If a table is empty, then it was empty in the original database.

Existing vegetation surveys and mapping were reviewed and supplemented with 16 additional full floristic vegetation plots and over 230 rapid data points (RDPs). Plant Community Type (PCT) mapping was undertaken at a scale of 1:10,000 using a range of datasets. A total of 14 unique PCTs totalling 8,007 ha of native vegetation were mapped including four Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs) listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act) with three of these communities also being listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). A finer level of mapping detail was provided through the delineation of structural variants of PCTs across their mapped occurrences to facilitate park management activities. A total of 15 midstorey variants were identified resulting in a total of 50 unique units which demonstrates significant variation across PCTs in Breelong and Drillwarrina National Parks. VIS_ID 4529

Vegetation survey and mapping of Narran Lake Nature Reserve in 2010, commissioned by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Narrabri Region. This dataset incorporates and supersedes previous reports and datasets created by the author in 1999 and 2006. Eleven 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, however 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 the reserve. NOTE: Please consider these inconsistencies when using the dataset for undertaking reserve-scale operational, planning or environmental assessment activities on NPWS-managed reserves, particularly the delineation of threatened ecological communities. Anomalies are described in Dataset History. This mapping was initiated by the addition of 'Terewah'. This version combines and supersedes previous maps and reports produced by the author in 2006 and 1999. VIS_ID 4016

Basket Swamp National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2002 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Basket Swamp National Park Basket Swamp National Park is located approximately 30 km north east of Tenterfield and 10 km west of the Mount Lindsay Highway. It lies within the New England Tablelands Bioregion, the Northern Tablelands Botanical division and Tenterfield Shire and County of Clive. The vegetation of Basket Swamp National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25000). Seven communities are defined based on PATN analysis with a further four sub assemblages described. These seven communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are considered endangered or vulnerable and limited within the reserve system. Most communities are of open forest structure, although sedgelands, heaths, woodlands 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 major correlative influence on community distribution,however protection from the south west, time since fire, altitude were also strongly correlated. VIS_ID 4709
