Historic Woody Vegetation Mapping of the NSW Wheat-belt VIS_ID 1604

The vegetation of the Central Division of NSW was classified and mapped (Cobar-Nyngan-Gilgandra), Nymagee-Narromine-Dubbo 1:250 000 map sheets) as part of the NSW NPWS wheat-belt mapping series. The vegetation classification was derived using traditional API and quantitative analysis of data from 428 field sites. Analyses included heirarchical classification in PATN to define floristic groups, then Fidel and ANOSIM to elucidate the characteristic species of the groups and explore the consistency of these relationships and various levels of similarity. Maps and descriptions show the floristic composition and structure, the geographic distribution of assemblages, the current extent, and shape and degree of connectivity of vegetation and changes in native woody vegetation cover over time.

新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）中部片区的植被完成了分类与制图工作（覆盖科巴-尼南-吉尔根德拉、奈马吉-纳罗明-达博1:25万比例尺图幅），该工作隶属于新南威尔士州国家公园与野生动物管理局（National Parks and Wildlife Service, NPWS）小麦带制图系列项目。本次植被分类基于传统API方法与对428个野外样地数据的定量分析完成。分析流程包括：借助模式分析包（Pattern Analysis Package, PATN）开展等级分类以界定植物区系群，随后通过Fidel与相似性分析（Analysis of Similarities, ANOSIM）阐明各植物区系群的特征物种，并探究此类群间关系的一致性及不同层级的相似性水平。配套的地图与描述文档涵盖了植物区系组成与结构、群落的地理分布、当前植被覆盖范围、植被的形态特征与连通程度，以及本土木本植被覆盖度随时间的变化情况。（VIS_ID 1604；ANZNS0208000147）
