Duval Nature Reserve Vegetation 2014 VIS_ID 4728

Duval Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2014 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Mt Duval Nature Reserve lies approximately 15 km north of Armidale within the Armidale Dumaresq Shire. The reserve were gazetted to conserve remnants of previously widespread Tablelands vegetation communities as part of the Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) process. The reserve has an area of approximately 243 ha and was dedicated in two stages in 1999.\r\n\r\nThe vegetation of Mt Duval Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:10 000) based on ADS40 Imagery (2012). Five floristic communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These five communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. In addition ten Plant Community Types (VIS PCT) are also mapped along with two Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs).\r\n\r\nVIS_ID 4728
