Bellingen LGA Vegetation 2013. VIS_ID 4102

This dataset represents fine-scale floristic vegetation mapping within eastern freehold lands of the Bellingen Local Government Area. Vegetation has been categorized into communities, classes and formations, with the composition of respective vegetation species identified. Mapping was conducted by vegetation mapping ‘experts’ (NSW Office of Environment and Heritage) between September 2011 and December 2012, and was based on 3-D PLANAR modelling, aerial photography interpretation and field floristic assessment. Non-natural areas, devoid of vegetation, have not been mapped. Various levels of attribute confidence are identified within the data's 'Reliability' attribute field. Users are reminded that the layer represents a model, and should only be regarded as an interpretation or prediction of real-world phenomena.
