The spatial extent of the wetlands used in the evaluation are presented in the related dataset listed in this metadata statement. ;\n;\nDetailed descriptions of the monitoring methods and preliminary results can be found in: Sonia Claus, Sarah Imgraben, Kirsty Brennan, Alex Carthey, Benjamin Daly and Neil Saintilan (in prep) NSW Wetlands Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Program Technical Report. NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, Sydney. The 'Draft Report'.;\n;\nThe indicators are grouped into three disturbance groups and four condition groups, for information refer to the Draft Report.;\n;\nCatchment Disturbance in this report is defined as modifications or changes to the catchment structure or processes, which in turn affect the wetland. The most important catchment disturbances affecting wetlands in NSW include urbanisation, agriculture, vegetation clearing, infrastructure and fire, however these vary depending on which region the wetland is situated in.;\n;\nHydrological Disturbance strongly influences the levels of nutrients entering a wetland, water and soil chemistry, vegetation patterns, the biota present and the wetland's productivity. Drainage, damming, extraction and river regulation have greatly altered the hydrologic dynamics of many NSW wetlands.;\n;\nHabitat disturbance includes both the direct removal of wetland habitat as well as activities that modify, damage or disturb wetland habitat areas. Modification or removal of habitat may occur for several reasons, including construction work, urban development, clearing for agriculture, recreational uses and water regulation.;\n;\nBiological condition measures the response of the wetland plants and animals to pressures on the ecosystem. It covers birds, fish, invertebrates, and aquatic and fringing vegetation. It can be a measurement of the presence, abundance or health of these plants and animals.;\nPest Species measures wetland condition in terms of the ratio of native: introduced species.;\n;\nWater quality measures the condition of the water in the wetland. It includes measures such as pH, salinity and turbidity. Water in a wetland is important as it supports biota and ecological processes within the ecosystem. It can be very difficult to analyse water quality data as it is highly variable.;\n;\nSoil condition measures the physical attributes of the wetland, such as pH, salinity, soil moisture, erosion and modifications like channelling works. Wetland soils contain nutrients that form the base of the food chain, and store seed and egg banks of wetland animals and plants. Soils vary according to wetland type.", "num_resources": 0, "num_tags": 0, "organization": {"id": "07979e16-5cbe-436c-9b35-6dd8c9d30512", "name": "oeh-office-of-environment-and-heritage", "title": "Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH)", "type": "organization", "description": "OEH cares for and protects NSW\u2019s environment and heritage, which includes the natural environment, Aboriginal country, culture and heritage, and built heritage.\r\n\r\nThe Office supports the community, business and government in protecting, strengthening and making the most of a healthy environment and economy in NSW.\r\n\r\nOEH also provides services and other support to the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, NSW Environmental Trust, Western Sydney Parkland Trust, Parramatta Park Trust, Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust, Historic Houses Trust, Taronga Conservation Society Australia, Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust, and the Environment Protection Authority.\r\n\r\nSee: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/\r\n", "image_url": "2019-06-20-041940.170661Office-of-Environment-and-Heritage.jpg", "created": "2018-06-15T18:40:10.365903", "is_organization": true, "approval_status": "approved", "state": "active"}, "owner_org": "07979e16-5cbe-436c-9b35-6dd8c9d30512", "private": false, "spatial": "{\"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [[[154.09401, -37.54046], [154.09401, -28.49989], [140.63541, -28.49989], [140.63541, -37.54046], [154.09401, -37.54046]]]}", "spatial_coverage": "{\"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [[[154.09401, -37.54046], [154.09401, -28.49989], [140.63541, -28.49989], [140.63541, -37.54046], [154.09401, -37.54046]]]}", "state": "active", "temporal_coverage_from": "2009-04-28", "title": "Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting (Theme 2): Wetlands Scoring", "type": "dataset", "unpublished": "false", "update_freq": "unknown", "url": null, "version": null, "extras": [{"key": "harvest_portal", "value": "SEED"}, {"key": "harvest_url", "value": "https://dataset-uat-new.stage.lz.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/monitoring-evaluation-and-reporting-theme-2-wetlands-scoring7a787"}], "resources": [], "tags": [], "groups": [], "relationships_as_subject": [], "relationships_as_object": [], "likes": 0, "tracking_summary": {"total": 0, "recent": 0}}}
