Burnt Down Scrub Nature Reserve Vegetation 1999 VIS_ID 4720

Burnt Down Scrub Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 1999 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. The reserve is 8 km NNW of the junction of the Mann and Clarence Rivers, 15 km\r\nSW of Baryugil and is separated by 4 km of cleared land from the Redbank Creek\r\narea of Washpool National Park. The reserve is included under Portions 94 and 99 of the Parish of Carnham and the County of Drake. \r\n\r\nThe vegetation of Burnt Down Scrub Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale1:25 000). Five communities are defined based on PATN analysis. Five communities are mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Most communities are of Open Forest and Closed Forest structure. The distribution of communities is related to past disturbances, particularly fire but also drainage and protection from the west. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries. All communities are considered adequately represented in the current reserve network.\r\n\r\nVIS_ID 4720

烧灌丛自然保护区（Burnt Down Scrub Nature Reserve）的植被制图工作由约翰·T·亨特博士于1999年受NPWS北部台地区域委托开展。该保护区位于曼恩河与克拉伦斯河交汇处以北8公里处，巴里乌吉尔西南15公里处，与沃什普尔国家公园（Washpool National Park）的红岸溪区域相隔4公里的开垦用地。该保护区隶属于卡纳姆乡区第94、99号地块及德雷克县范围内。

本研究对烧灌丛自然保护区的植被进行了描述与制图（比例尺1:25000）。基于PATN分析共划定5种植被群落，随后结合实地验证、航空影像解译及地形特征完成了5种植被群落的制图。多数群落呈现疏林（Open Forest）与密闭林（Closed Forest）结构。植被群落的分布与既往干扰因素密切相关，其中尤以火灾最为显著，此外还包括排水条件及西侧的遮蔽效应。多数群落在共同边界处存在显著变异并呈现渐变过渡特征。所有植被群落均被认为在当前保护区网络中得到了充分的代表性覆盖。
