Vegetation

This vegetation map was produced using the Land Cover Database Version 5 (LCDB5). LCDB5 is a multi-temporal, thematic classification of 33 land cover and land use classes designed to be compatible with earlier LCDB versions. Land cover features are described by a polygon boundary, a land cover code, and a land cover name at each nominal time step; summer 1996/97, summer 2001/02, summer 2008/09, summer 2012/13, and summer 2018/19.<br>The data set was designed to be compatible in theme, scale and accuracy with Land Information New Zealand's 1:50,000 topographic database. LCDB is intended to be used in areas such as state of environmental monitoring, forest and shrubland inventory, biodiversity assessment, trend analysis and infrastructure planning. LCDB5 was released in January 2020 and includes corrections to all time steps 1997/97, 2001/02, 2008/09, 2012/13 and 2018/19.

本植被图系采用第五版土地覆盖数据库（Land Cover Database Version 5，简称LCDB5）制作而成。LCDB5是一款多时相、主题分类的数据库，包含33种土地覆盖和土地利用类别，旨在与早期的LCDB版本保持兼容。土地覆盖特征在每个名义时间步长（如1996/97年夏季、2001/02年夏季、2008/09年夏季、2012/13年夏季和2018/19年夏季）通过多边形边界、土地覆盖代码和土地覆盖名称进行描述。该数据集在主题、比例和精度上与新西兰土地信息局1:50,000的地形数据库相兼容。LCDB旨在应用于环境监测状态、森林和灌木林地调查、生物多样性评估、趋势分析和基础设施规划等领域。LCDB5于2020年1月发布，并对所有时间步长1997/97、2001/02、2008/09、2012/13和2018/19进行了修正。
