Pre-colonial plant list

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:•\t0 Did not occur •\t1 Unlikely to have occurred •\t2.1 Quite likely (at low cover) •\t2.2 Quite likely (may have been prominent in places (>5% cover)) •\t3.1 Highly likely or known to have occurred (low cover) •\t3.2 Highly likely or known to have occurred (>5% cover) •\t- 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.\tThreat 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.

本数据集包含1835年前墨尔本市区内的植物物种及其分布情况。它基于Arthur Rylah研究所的S.J. Sinclair、G. Sutter和M. Duncan编制的《墨尔本殖民前植物清单》。有关已记录的方法，请参阅附件中的报告。

本植物清单使用代码标识物种在殖民前墨尔本市区出现的可能性：
• 0 未出现
• 1 不太可能出现
• 2.1 相当可能（覆盖度低）
• 2.2 相当可能（可能在部分区域占优势，覆盖度>5%）
• 3.1 极可能或已知出现（覆盖度低）
• 3.2 极可能或已知出现（覆盖度>5%）
• - 确定

我们认可并尊重维多利亚州传统所有者作为该州土地与水域原住守护者的身份，以及他们守护土地的独特能力和与之深厚的精神联结。特别地，我们向本研究涉及土地的传统所有者——东库林地区的Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung和Bunurong Boon Wurrung族群——致以敬意。我们致敬历代及当代长者，他们的知识与智慧确保了文化及传统实践的延续。

我们承诺与维多利亚州传统所有者及原住民社区建立真诚伙伴关系并开展有意义的合作，以支持土地保护、精神与文化实践的传承，以及他们在21世纪及未来更广泛的愿景。

物种的威胁状态依据《动植物保护法》（FFG法案）濒危物种名录及2022年5月版《1999年环境保护与生物多样性保护法》（EPBC法案）名录确定。
