NSW - CRA/RFA - Forests - Southern - National Estate - Refugia

National Estate refugia are places where species can persist and subsequently disperse from, following long term climatic and environmental change. Refugia were also defined as places where species are not eliminated by a threatening process. The impacts of the threatening process are either prevented or buffered, and species are able to persist despite being eliminated from other (non-refugial) areas. Refugia include places to which species can move to avoid a threateneing process.\n\nThe areas identified were: riparian areas, sedgelands, wetlands, rainforest, steep sandstone escarpments, native grasslands, alpine and sub alpine vegetation types, coastal heaths, banksia, paperbark, and casuarina types, coastal scribbly gum and callitris forests, mallee, rock outcrops and areas on basalt geologies, wet old growth forest and steep ecological gradients.\n\nThis dataset has been assessed against the following National Estate sub-criterion A1: Importance in the evolution of Australian flora, fauna, landscapes or climate.\n\nThis is an archived dataset jointly owned by the Commonwealth Government and NSW Governments under the NSW Regional Forest Agreements (RFA) Data Agreement of 31 March 2000.This data is available to the public from the Department and may be used by third parties for unrestricted use provided that the copyright interests of the owners are protected.\n\nAny reproduction of this dataset must carry the following statement:\nCopyright Commonwealth of Australia and New South Wales Government 1998.\nDepartmental Deed

国家遗产避难所（National Estate refugia）指物种在长期气候与环境变化后能够存续并由此向外扩散的区域。避难所亦可定义为物种未受威胁性干扰过程清除的区域：此类干扰过程的影响得到阻隔或缓冲，即便物种已从其他（非避难所）区域消失，仍可在此存续。避难所还包括物种为规避威胁性干扰过程可迁移至的区域。

本次识别出的避难所区域包括：河岸带（riparian areas）、莎草沼泽（sedgelands）、湿地、雨林、陡峭砂岩悬崖（steep sandstone escarpments）、原生草原、高山与亚高山植被类型、滨海灌丛（coastal heaths）、班克木属（banksia）、白千层属（paperbark）与木麻黄属（casuarina）植被类型、滨海涂鸦桉（coastal scribbly gum）与柏松属（callitris）林、马林灌丛（mallee）、岩石露头（rock outcrops）、玄武岩地质区域、湿润原始林（wet old growth forest）以及陡峭生态梯度带（steep ecological gradients）。

本数据集已依据下述国家遗产亚准则A1进行评估：对澳大利亚植物群、动物群、景观或气候演化的重要性（Importance in the evolution of Australian flora, fauna, landscapes or climate）。
