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 survey and mapping of Montawaa addition to Mt Kaputar NP 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.

Vegetation survey and mapping of Rusden addition to Mt Kaputar NP in 2008, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Eight 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.

Amalgamation of Mt Kaputar South (Porteners 1998) and Mt Kaputar North (Hunter 2000) vegetation maps. This dataset was created to provide a consistent vegetation map of the entire park for fire planning purposes. Amalgamation was undertaken by Miranda Kerr, Botanist for Western Directorate, August 2002, by comparing composition and structure of vegetation communities described for the two source datasets.For any other purposes it is recommended that the source datasets be used (see below).

Vegetation survey and mapping of Beresford Park and Carinya additions to Mt Kaputar NP in 2008, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Nine 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 map digitised from Hunter, J.T. and Fallavollita, E. (2003). Vegetation and Floristics of Paroo-Darling National Park - Thilta karra Section. A Report to the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service. The vegetation of Thilta karra is described and mapped and nine communities defined based on classification (Kulczynski association) with further sub-assemblages described VIS_ID 968

Vegetation survey and mapping of Playgan addition to Mt Kaputar NP in 2008, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Eight 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.

Broadscale mapping of vegetation provinces for Kosciusko National Park and a buffer zone around the Park. Mapped from aerial photography. Little ground truthing done. VIS_ID 4846

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.

These data were converted from the originally delivered Microsoft Access PLOTs database from the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park. 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.
