The pre-European vegetation mapping of Western Australia dataset is an output of a joint project. It maps original natural vegetation presumed to have existed prior to European settlement in Western Australia. Descriptions of each of the vegetation types can be found in the accompanying memoir. The major sources of data in this database are the published and unpublished mapping of J.S. Beard at 1:250,000 scale. There are c 30,000 polygons covering 160 1:250,000 map sheets. Data on the original vegetation of all of Western Australia, with the exception of three map sheets in the south-west corner, were captured from J S Beard’s original working drawings, where these were available, or from published maps, all at the scale of 1:250,000. For the three map sheets in the south-west corner, a new data set was compiled in a form consistent with Beard’s approach, from existing data (A.J.M. Hopkins, unpublished). Also published as Beard, J. S., Beeston, G.R., Harvey, J.M., Hopkins, A. J. M. and Shepherd, D. P. 2013. The vegetation of Western Australia at the 1:3,000,000 scale. Explanatory memoir. Second edition. Conservation Science Western Australia 9: 1-152.

This dataset categorises the 2020 native vegetation extent mapping by pre-European state-wide vegetation mapping of Western Australia.

This dataset contains plant species and their occurence within the City of Melbourne area before 1835. It is based on the "Pre-colonial plant list for the City of Melbourne" produced by S.J. Sinclair, G. Sutter and M. Duncan of the Arthur Rylah Institute. For documented methods please refer to the report (attached). Codes are used in this Plant List that refer to the likelihood of the species having occurred in pre-colonial City of Melbourne: • 0 Did not occur • 1 Unlikely to have occurred • 2.1 Quite likely (at low cover) • 2.2 Quite likely (may have been prominent in places (>5% cover)) • 3.1 Highly likely or known to have occurred (low cover) • 3.2 Highly likely or known to have occurred (>5% cover) • - Certain We acknowledge and respect Victorian Traditional Owners as the original custodians of Victoria's land and waters, their unique ability to care for Country and deep spiritual connection to it. In particular, we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land to which this work relates, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practice. We are committed to genuinely partner, and meaningfully engage, with Victoria's Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities to support the protection of Country, the maintenance of spiritual and cultural practices and their broader aspirations in the 21st century and beyond. Threat status was attributed according to the Flora and Fauna Guarantee (FFG) Act Threatened List and; Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999 list as at May 2022.

This dataset records the predominant weeds (declared and environmental) observed within the cells of a 1ha grid placed along the coastal strip of the Northern and Southern National Resource Management (NRM) Regions of Tasmania. The occurrence of each weed in each cell is recorded as a separate record. This dataset is part of the NRM Coastal Values Project. The Project maps vegetation, fauna habitat and geomorphology from High Water mark to 100 metres inland for part of the coastline of the Southern and Northern NRM Regions of Tasmania. The purpose of the coastal values mapping is to provide an easily accessible database on vegetation and geomorphology to support better strategic planning, land use planning and management on the coast.

The South Australian Land Cover Layers 1987- 2015 spatial land cover datasets for 6 time periods (1987-1990, 1990-1995, 1995-2000, 2000-2005, 2005-2010 and 2010-2015). This dataset can be used to inform spatial and temporal (5 year) summaries of the described land cover types for SA. The capture method and general nature of the classes are most useful for landscape and regional scale assessment.

This dataset is a polygon representation of vegetation communities within the coastal strip of the Northern and Southern National Resource Management (NRM) Regions of Tasmania. Each polygon represents a single vegetation community; mapping units conform to TASVEG 1.0 mapping unit specifications and data format. Vegetation communities were identified to a 1ha resolution or to 0.25ha where a threatened vegetation community was suspected. This dataset is part of the NRM Coastal Values Project. The Project maps vegetation, fauna habitat and geomorphology from High Water mark to 100 metres inland for part of the coastline of the Southern and Northern NRM Regions of Tasmania. The purpose of the coastal values mapping is to provide an easily accessible database on vegetation and geomorphology to support better strategic planning, land use planning and management on the coast.

Biddiscombe, E.F. (1963) Vegetation Survey in the Macquarie Region, NSW. Division of Plant Industry Technical Paper No. 18. CSIRO, Melbourne. Description of the native vegetation of the Macquarie and Castlereagh river systems where these traverse the lower Western Slopes and adjoining sections of the Plains. The vegetation is classified into 22 floristic associations which are grouped into 11 alliances (4 forest, 5 woodland, 1 mallee and 1 grassland). Mapping is based on ground traverses and aerial photography. (VIS_ID 818)
