Example shown is for: 1 - Shale/Sandstone Transition Forest (Low Sandstone Influence) Canopy Cover > 10% (Unless Remnant > 5ha, Where Canopy Cover > 5%) (Areas mapped as classes: A, B, C, SA) Canopy Cover < 10% (Areas mapped as classes: Cmin, Tx, Txr) Canopy Cover < 10% (Urban Areas) (Areas mapped as class: Txu) Study Area Boundary Local Government Area Boundary NPWS Estate boundary Important Disclaimer Care should be taken when interpreting the data displayed on this map. It has been produced using a combination of aerial photograph interpretation (API - to identify where vegetation remnants exist) and computer modelling of vegetation community distribution (to predict which vegetation communities exist in a particular remnant). Mapping vegetation using aerial photograph interpretation, has a number of limitations: * Drawing the boundary of the remnants is subjective; * Limitations with geo-referencing the data; and * The distortion of aerial photographs towards the edge of the photograph and due to topographic variation. The limitations of the modelling of the vegetation community distribution relate to: * Assigning a distinct boundary to communities that have a gradual transition between them; * Sampling bias in the vegetation modelling program as the remaining vegetation is highly fragmented and only represents a small portion of the study area; and, * Limits in the accuracy of the other environmental data layers used in the process. eg. the resolution of the soil landscape layer is at 1:100 000. Finally, the API was conducted using aerial photographs which were taken in the period late 1997 to early 1998. Thus areas may have been cleared or may have regrown since the photographs were taken.

Canopy Cover > 10% (Unless Remnant > 5ha, Where Canopy Cover > 5%)(Areas mapped as classes: A, B, C, SA)
Canopy Cover < 10%(Areas mapped as classes: Cmin, Tx, Txr)
Canopy Cover < 10% (Urban Areas)(Areas mapped as class: Txu)

Important DisclaimerCare should be taken when interpreting the data displayed on this map. It has beenproduced using a combination of aerial photograph interpretation (API - to identifywhere vegetation remnants exist) and computer modelling of vegetation communitydistribution (to predict which vegetation communities exist in a particular remnant).
Mapping vegetation using aerial photograph interpretation, has a number of limitations:* Drawing the boundary of the remnants is subjective;* Limitations with geo-referencing the data; and* The distortion of aerial photographs towards the edge of the photograph and due to topographic variation.
The limitations of the modelling of the vegetation community distribution relate to:* Assigning a distinct boundary to communities that have a gradual transition between them;* Sampling bias in the vegetation modelling program as the remaining vegetation is highly fragmented and only represents a small portion of the study area; and,* Limits in the accuracy of the other environmental data layers used in the process. eg. the resolution of the soil landscape layer is at 1:100 000.
Finally, the API was conducted using aerial photographs which were taken in the periodlate 1997 to early 1998. Thus areas may have been cleared or may have regrown sincethe photographs were taken.
