Wyong LGA Vegetation Map 1999 VIS ID 739

Vegetation of the Wyong LGA, 1999. Broadly mapped the vegetation of this area based largely on aerial photographic interpretation and linked broad structural and floristic differences in vegetation to major geology\r\n\r\ntypes.and utilised a geological coding system to describe the vegetation. The coding system over-simplifies the floristic patterns present, but is generally representative of major trends. The resultant mapping is broad in nature, and masks structural and floristic variation at the fine scale.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nForty-nine (49) vegetation communities are presented by Payne and Duncan (1999), ranging from several types of rainforest, through wet and dry sclerophyll forests, woodlands, heaths and scrub, to swamps, wetlands and mangroves.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSee Bell (2002) for a brief description, and a table of vegetation units used in this mapping.\r\n\r\nVIS_ID 739\r\n\r\nMap footprint supplied only.
