Vegetation of the Cessnock-Kurri Region - Extant VIS_ID 183

A vegetation survey, classification and mapping program of the Cessnock-Kurri region was carried out during 2006-07 by Stephen Bell and Colin Driscoll. The survey was principally to clarify the composition and distribution of three Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs). Nearly 70000ha of land was examined between the foothills of the Watagan Range in the south, the Corrabare and Broken Back Ranges in the west, North Rothbury in the north, and the Wallis Creek floodplain in the east. The main aim of the study was to identify, classify and map all extant vegetation within the study area, as well as to provide a pre-1750 vegetation map of the area.;\r\nVegetation Condition and Disturbed vegetation mapping components were also included, to assist in determining priorities for future rehabilitation of sensitive lands.

2006—2007年间，斯蒂芬·贝尔（Stephen Bell）与科林·德里斯科尔（Colin Driscoll）针对塞斯诺克-库里区域（Cessnock-Kurri）开展了植被调查、分类与制图项目。本次调查主要为明确3个濒危生态群落（Endangered Ecological Communities, EECs）的组成与分布情况。调查范围南至瓦塔甘山脉（Watagan Range）山麓、西至科拉巴雷与布鲁克巴克山脉（Corrabare and Broken Back Ranges）、北至北罗斯伯里（North Rothbury）、东至沃利斯溪洪泛平原（Wallis Creek floodplain），覆盖面积近7万公顷。本研究的核心目标为识别、分类并绘制研究区内所有现存植被的分布图，同时编制该区域1750年以前的历史植被分布图。
本项目还增设了植被状况与受干扰植被制图模块，用于辅助确定未来敏感土地修复工作的优先级。本次调查对应VIS_ID 183
