Estuarine Vegetation, Georges River, 2000. VIS_ID 4135

The estuarine vegetation of the lower Georges River was mapped using a combination of air photo interpretation and field survey techniques, thereby updating the maps of West et al. (1985) and Watford and Williams (1998). The new map extends the upstream coverage of wetlands identified by West et al. (1985) to Sylvania Waters, up the Woronora River and up the Georges River from Milperra to the Liverpool Weir. As a result, a uniform map of the type and distribution of estuarine macrophytes for the whole of the Georges River and the Kurnell peninsula now exists. Eight vegetative complexes have been described and located. A complex is considered to be a group of communities, and saltmarsh, for example, contains several recognisable communities. VIS_ID 4135

本研究结合航空像片解译（air photo interpretation）与野外调查技术（field survey techniques），完成了乔治斯河下游河口植被（estuarine vegetation）的制图工作，由此更新了West等人（1985）以及Watford与Williams（1998）的原有地图。新绘制的地图将West等（1985）所识别的湿地上游覆盖范围拓展至西尔瓦尼亚水域（Sylvania Waters），并沿沃罗诺拉河（Woronora River）以及乔治斯河从米尔佩拉（Milperra）延伸至利物浦堰（Liverpool Weir）。由此，针对整个乔治斯河与库内尔半岛（Kurnell Peninsula）的河口大型水生植物（estuarine macrophytes）类型与分布的统一制图成果现已完成。已描述并定位了8种植被复合体（vegetative complexes），其中植被复合体被定义为群落的集合体，例如盐沼（saltmarsh）便包含多个可识别的群落。VIS_ID 4135
