Sutherland Shire Vegetation Communities Map, 2005. VIS_ID 3963

Vegetation types including Endangered Ecological Communities (EEC's) in the Sutherland Shire. Coverage does not extend across all of national park estate. The data displays the distribution of EEC's based on the characteristics of the final determinations presented by the Scientific Committee under the Threatened Species Conservation Act or the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. Other vegetation communities are based on vegetation types and descriptions published in Cunninghamia 3(4): 677-1004 1994 The Natural Vegetation of the Sydney 1:100000 map sheet. Vegetation distribution is based on interpretation of 2001 aerial photographs, topography and extensive ground truthing. Purpose: Terrestrial vegetation of SSC. To assist with the management of bushland and natural areas in the Shire. To enable staff to determine the location and distribution of threatened species (EEC'S) and other vegetation types. \r\n\r\nUpdated by 2011 vegetation map (see VIS_ID 4198).\r\n\r\nVIS_ID 3963本数据集涵盖萨瑟兰郡（Sutherland Shire）内的植被类型，包括濒危生态群落（Endangered Ecological Communities，EEC），其覆盖范围未及全部国家公园领地。 本数据依据科学委员会依照《濒危物种保护法》（Threatened Species Conservation Act）或《环境保护与生物多样性保护法》（Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act）发布的最终判定特征，展示了濒危生态群落的空间分布。其余植被群落的分类依据为1994年发表于学术期刊《Cunninghamia》第3卷第4期第677-1004页的《悉尼1:10万比例尺地图幅面的天然植被》一文所载的植被类型与描述。 植被分布信息基于2001年航空摄影影像、地形数据及大规模实地地面验证结果解译得到。 数据集用途：覆盖萨瑟兰郡陆地植被，旨在辅助该郡灌丛与自然区域的管理工作，并支持工作人员查明濒危物种（濒危生态群落）及其他植被类型的位置与分布范围。 本数据集已通过2011年植被图完成更新（详见VIS_ID 4198）。 VIS_ID 3963
