Imbota Nature Reserve Vegetation 2003 VIS_ID 4739

Imbota Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2003 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Imbota Nature Reserve is located approximately 10 km south east of Armidale and lies within the New England Tablelands Bioregion and the Northern Tablelands Botanical District.\r\n\r\nThe vegetation of Imbota Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Four communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These four communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are Endangered on state and federal acts (TSC & EPB&C Acts), the other two are considered poorly reserved. Most communities are of woodland and open forest structure. The communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types.\r\n\r\nVIS_ID 4739
