NVMP Hay Vegetation Map. VIS_ID 4153

The Native Vegetation (Multi Attribute) - Hay 7828 dataset is a digital spatial layer which identifies areas of native vegetation for the Hay 7828 1:100,000 scale map sheet. Areas of native vegetation are defined as polygons and each polygon is described according to ten attributes, which are listed below. Landcover (LCOV) Total Vegetation Cover Percentage (TVC) Total Woody Vegetation Cover Percentage (TWVC) Tallest Stratum Cover Percentage (TSC) Tallest Stratum Growth Form (TSGF) Emergents (EMERG) Tallest Stratum (TALSTRAT) Mid Stratum (MIDSTRAT) Third Stratum (RDSTRAT) Final Vegetation Code (VC) The dataset is based on the interpretation of 1:50 000 scale colour aerial photography and supplemented by geo-rectified Landsat TM false colour satellite imagery. A complementary botanical survey was undertaken in order to improve the accuracy of the dataset, determine if any corrections were necessary and assist in defining a final native vegetation community for each polygon. Although the principle use of the dataset was to aid in the generation of a native vegetation community map, the dataset can also potentially be used to produce other types of maps due to the availability of ten discrete polygon attributes. The dataset is part of a series of Native Vegetation (Multi Attribute) and Native Vegetation (Single Attribute) datasets captured as a set of 1:100,000 map sheet tiles by the Native Vegetation Mapping Program (NVMP).
