Predictive ecosystem mapping for the Central Highlands Region of Victoria

This collection includes spatially delineated ecosystem types for the Central Highlands Region of Victoria as published by Fedrigo et al. (2019; see link). Two datasets are provided: 1) the Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM) model derived by applying rulesets to a lidar-derived classification and distribution models for key species that delineate ecosystems in the region, and 2) the Victorian Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVCs) reclassified to align with those used in the study. \n\nThe PEM model delineates the ecotone (cool temperate mixed forest) between cool temperate rainforest and Eucalypt forest across the Central Highlands Region of Victoria as defined in the manuscript. \n\nSpatial reference – EPSG:32755 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 55S - Projected\nLineage: See the linked manuscript for a full description of the methods used to generate this data.

本数据集集合包含由Fedrigo等人（2019年；详见链接）发布的维多利亚州中部高地地区空间划定的生态系统类型。本次提供两类数据集：1） 预测性生态系统制图（Predictive Ecosystem Mapping, PEM）模型，该模型通过将规则集应用于激光雷达（lidar）衍生的分类结果与该区域生态系统划定关键物种的分布模型构建而成；2） 经重新分类以匹配本研究所用分类体系的维多利亚州生态植被类别（Ecological Vegetation Classes, EVCs）。

该PEM模型划定了维多利亚州中部高地地区冷温带雨林与桉属（Eucalypt）森林之间的过渡带（冷温带混交林），与论文中的定义保持一致。

空间参考系为EPSG:32755——WGS 84 / UTM 55S 投影坐标系。数据谱系：详见关联论文以获取本数据生成方法的完整说明。
