Vegetation of the Cessnock-Kurri Region - Confidence VIS_ID 185

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至2007年间，斯蒂芬·贝尔（Stephen Bell）与科林·德里斯科尔（Colin Driscoll）实施了塞斯诺克-库里（Cessnock-Kurri）区域的植被调查、分类与制图项目。本次调查主要旨在厘清三种濒危生态群落（Endangered Ecological Communities，EECs）的组成与分布特征。调查覆盖南至瓦塔根山脉（Watagan Range）山麓、西至科拉巴雷与破碎背山脉（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）的近7万公顷土地。本研究的核心目标为识别、分类并绘制研究区域内所有现存植被的空间分布图，同时编制该区域1750年以前的原生植被地图。
本次项目还纳入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生态修复工作的优先级。VIS_ID 185
