Interim Classification of Aquatic Ecosystems in the Murray Darling Basin based on the Australian National Aquatic Ecosystems (ANAE) Classification - Floodplains

This classification of aquatic ecosystems was developed for the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office, Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, Australia, and Murray-Darling Basin Authority to support the management of environmental water in the Murray-Darling basin.\nAn interim application of the Australian National Aquatic Ecosystem (ANAE) classification framework has been applied to all floodplain polygons. The associated data table contains the ANAE floodplain attributes and resulting typology. \n\nThis dataset is a merged product of three sources: Floodplain_MDBAv2_ANAE, Floodplain_SA_ANAE and Floodplain_RERP_ANAE.\n\nRERP_ANAE results from the merger of three separate 2009-2010 NSW Rivers Environmental Restoration Program (RERP) mapping layers for the Lowbidgee, Macquarie Marshes, and Gwydir wetlands. ANAE floodplain attributes and typology are assigned in the data table.CC - Attribution (CC BY)\nLicenced for use under Creative Commons Australia Attribution.

WETLAND_CURRENT can be obtained from the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (see http://www.depi.vic.gov.au/forestry-and-land-use/maps-imagery-and-data\nfor further details). For lacustrine and palustrine aquatic ecosystems, the MDB_ANAE geodatabase is more suited to wetland projects involving other jurisdictions. While much of the data for lacustrine and palustrine wetlands was sourced from WETLAND_CURRENT, there may be some inconsistencies between MDB_ANAE geodatabase and WETLAND_CURRENT. The two datasets can be linked through the AltSrcID (MDB_ANAE geodatabase) and Wetland_No (WETLAND_CURRENT data set) fields.\nSA\nDue to the Basin-wide nature of this dataset, accuracy of final classes has not been ground truthed comprehensively, which could impact results of any analysis using this data. Therefore it is imperative that this dataset is assessed as to fitness for use in any application and decisions made about further levels of validation required. Significant care should be taken if information derived from this dataset is to guide decision making, form binding agreements regarding target setting, compliance of any form, or monitoring of achievements, this includes for the purpose of summarising areas of wetland types.

本水生生态系统分类体系由澳大利亚英联邦环境水办公室、可持续发展、环境、水、人口与社区部以及墨累-达令流域管理局（Murray-Darling Basin Authority）联合开发，旨在支撑墨累-达令流域的环境水管理工作。

澳大利亚国家水生生态系统（Australian National Aquatic Ecosystem, ANAE）分类框架的临时应用版本已覆盖所有泛滥平原多边形要素。关联数据表包含了ANAE泛滥平原属性及最终生成的分类类型体系。

本数据集为三类源数据的融合产物：Floodplain_MDBAv2_ANAE、Floodplain_SA_ANAE以及Floodplain_RERP_ANAE。

Floodplain_RERP_ANAE源自2009-2010年新南威尔士州河流环境修复计划（NSW Rivers Environmental Restoration Program, RERP）针对洛比奇湿地、马夸里沼泽湿地以及吉德尔湿地的三类独立制图图层的融合。数据表中已赋予ANAE泛滥平原属性及分类类型体系。本数据采用知识共享署名（Creative Commons Attribution, CC BY）许可协议，依据澳大利亚知识共享署名许可协议授权使用，要求引用标注为：© 澳大利亚英联邦环境与能源部。

维多利亚州
维多利亚州维护有一套湿地名录（WETLAND_CURRENT），专为维多利亚州湿地项目开发，且处于持续验证与更新状态。WETLAND_CURRENT可从环境与初级产业部获取，详细信息请访问：http://www.depi.vic.gov.au/forestry-and-land-use/maps-imagery-and-data。针对湖泊与草本沼泽水生生态系统，MDB_ANAE地理数据库更适用于涉及其他管辖区的湿地项目。尽管湖泊与草本沼泽湿地的多数数据源自WETLAND_CURRENT，但MDB_ANAE地理数据库与WETLAND_CURRENT之间或存在不一致之处。两类数据集可通过AltSrcID（MDB_ANAE地理数据库）与Wetland_No（WETLAND_CURRENT数据集）字段进行关联。

南澳大利亚州（SA）
由于本数据集具有全流域覆盖特性，最终分类的准确性未经过全面的地面验证，这可能会影响基于该数据开展的各类分析结果。因此，在将本数据集用于任何应用场景前，必须对其适用性进行评估，并确定所需的额外验证级别。若使用本数据集衍生的信息来指导决策、制定目标设定相关约束性协议、开展任何形式的合规性审查或监测目标达成情况（包括汇总湿地类型分布面积），则需格外谨慎。另请参阅Miles, M.与Eckert, G.于2014年发表的《墨累-达令流域ANAE数据集——南澳大利亚州部分的手动编辑说明》。
