Kings Plain National Park Vegetation 2000 VIS_ID 4741

Kings Plain National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2000 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Kings Plain National Park approximately 50 km north west of Glen Innes. The full extent of the reserve is within the Inverell Shire, the County of Arrawatta and the Parish of Kings Plains.\r\n\r\nThe vegetation of Kings Plains National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25\r\n000). Seven communities are defined based on PATN analysis and one specialised community is as circumscribed by previous surveys. Eight 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. The distribution of communities is related to past disturbances, soil depth, soil type, physiography, aspect, slope, altitude, and protection from the south west. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries. A number of specialised communities are thought to be endangered. \r\n\r\nVIS_ID 4741

金斯平原国家公园植被制图由John T. Hunter博士于2000年受NPWS北部高原地区委托完成。该公园位于格伦因尼斯西北约50公里处，保护区全境隶属于因弗雷尔郡、阿拉瓦塔县及金斯平原教区。

金斯平原国家公园的植被已完成描述与制图（比例尺1:25 000）。基于PATN分析定义了7个群落，另有1个特殊群落由先前调查界定。通过实地验证（ground truthing）、航空照片解译（air photo interpretation）及海拔数据，共绘制8个群落分布图。大多数群落为林地结构，但亦包含森林与灌丛类型。群落分布与历史干扰、土壤深度、土壤类型、地文学特征、坡向、坡度、海拔及西南向防护条件相关。许多群落在共同边界处呈现显著变异与过渡特征。部分特殊群落被认为处于濒危状态。
