Vegetation map of Kinchega National Park. VIS_ID 1035

The vegetation of Kinchega National Park in far western NSW was assessed using sampling of 171 full floristic quadrats in 1996-97, stratified by land systems. Fifteen vegetation communities were identified through floristic analysis and described in terms of structure and characteristic species, and 352 species of vascular plants recorded. Mapping was undertaken following ground truthing and interpretation of 1:50,000 scale colour aerial photographs from 1995 and Landsat TM satellite images (30 x 30 m pixels). Polygons were assigned through visual interpretation of detectable vegetation community attributes on aerial photography and remote imagery. The final map was produced at a scale of 1:100,000.

1996至1997年，研究人员以土地系统为分层依据，布设171个完整植被样方开展采样调查，对新南威尔士州远西部地区的金奇加国家公园（Kinchega National Park）植被进行了系统评估。经植物区系分析，共识别出15个植被群落，并从群落结构与特征物种维度对其进行了详细描述；本次调查共记录到352种维管植物。制图工作在完成地面验证以及对1995年获取的1:50,000比例尺彩色航空影像、分辨率为30×30米像素的陆地卫星专题制图仪（Landsat TM）卫星影像的解译后开展。研究人员通过目视解译航空摄影与遥感影像中可识别的植被群落属性，完成了多边形图斑的划定。最终生成的植被分布图比例尺为1:100,000，数据集标识为VIS_ID 1035。
