Ecosystem condition for the Gunbower-Koondrook-Perricoota Forest Icon Site v03.04.2021

The ecosystem condition data for the GKP region for 2010 and 2015 was developed at a 25m resolution to meet the requirements of the Land and Ecosystem Accounts Project (LEAP), to demonstrate a scalable approach to condition accounts under the UN SEEA EA framework. The spatial condition surface draws on two sources of information, expert-derived scores for ecosystem states defined under the Australian Ecosystem Models framework, and the remotely derived Habitat Condition Assessment System. Updates since delivery of datasets on 01/12/2020 There has been an update in the datasets since delivery of the draft account-ready datasets on the 01/12/2020. Updates were informed by expert opinion provided in late February 2021 and resulted in a) a revised ecosystem extent classification, with a reduction in total wetland extent and a reduced number of unclassified pixels. b) refinement of reference pixels in the GKP, and subsequent revision of the enhanced HCAS products prior to integration with expert opinion. The effects of these changes is minor (approx. increase 0.01 condition score) relative to the 01/12/20 delivery.
