Spatial Threatened Species and Communities (TESC) NSW 20131129

## **Abstract** \n\nThis dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied\n\n\n\nThe data was extracted from the NSW BioNet - Atlas system. Specifically the data table has been extracted from the Atlas of NSW Wildlife / threatened species profile module. This is the primary data that is displayed in the our TSp Web application \n\nhttp://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedspeciesapp/profile.aspx?id=10616. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe intend to complete revise the way we create, manage \n\nand maintain K&P distributions over the next 12-18mths.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nThis dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied:\n\n\n\n(1) Could you please confirm following data table joining method?\n\n\n\n\\[OBJECTID\\] in shape file "CMA_sub_regions" is joining with \\[objected\\] in sheet \n\n"ProfileDistribution" in "ProfileDistribution.xls" file. Then, \\[ProfileID\\] in \n\nsheet "ProfileDistribution" is joining with \\[ProfileID\\] in sheet "Profiles" in \n\nsame "ProfileDistribution.xls" file.\n\nFor example, for ACT (OBJECTID:73), I can find 39 ProfileIDs in \n\nProfileDistribution using OBJECTID 73. If I want to see details of those 39 \n\nspecies or ECs, go to sheet "Profiles" based on these 39 ProfileIDs.\n\n\n\n(2) For sheet ProfileDistribution, What is the meaning of Occurrence and its \n\ncontent class such as K, P?\n\n\n\n'K' (Known) indicates a confirmed record within any CMA sub-region. This data \n\nis stored as a distribution layer in the TS Profiles module of Bionet-Atlas. \n\n 'P' (Predicted) indicates that this threatened species or entity is likely to \n\noccur in a CMA sub-region . This is an expert opinion, managed in the TS \n\nProfiles module. We recommend you disregard all Predicted data.\n\n\n\n(3) For sheet Profiles\n\n . What is the meaning of ProfileType's class such as Other, \n\nPopulation, SpeciesCode?\n\n . What is the meaning of SpeciesType's class such as FA, FL, FU?\n\n\n\n "ProfileType" attributes the type of profiles: SpeciesCode = threatened \n\nspecies; Populations = threatened populations; Other = threatened \n\necological community, or Threatening process as Other. Simply ameans of \n\nsystematicly separating off species and population distributions.\n\n "SpeciesType" is to indicate whether the threatened species or population \n\nprofile is Flora (FL), Fauna (FA) or Fungi (FU).\n\n\n\n(4) For shape file "CMA_sub_regions" We are looking for a unique and \n\nmeaningful name for the smallest spatial unit. Is \\[DISPLAY2\\] such a name?\n\n\n\n "DISPLAY2" that would be the shortest, unique name.\n\n\n\n(5) I only found Threatened Ecological Communities under field "GeneralType" \n\nin "Profiles". Could you please let me know where I can find the indicator \n\nfor Threatened Species?\n\n\n\nYour interpretation of TEC indicator is correct. Threatened Species are \n\nindicated in Profiles by ProfileType = SpeciesCode.\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nNSW Office of Environment and Heritage (2013) Spatial Threatened Species and Communities (TESC) NSW 20131129.
