Vegetation Mapping - Cobar Shire. VIS_ID 3332

Satellite imagery and field checking were used to map the vegetation of the Cobar Shire in central-west NSW. The vegetation communities have been grouped using broad canopy species associations. These associations have no other mapping purpose. Each vegetation community and other map unit used in the mapping project is described, with main structural form(s) of the community based on Specht (1970). A broad floristic description based on some limited point source sampling, field verification of the M305, personal observation by the author with input from Department of Land and Water Conservation, Far West Region field and technical staff. Analysis from the GIS data set listing main location and any 1:100,000 map sheet that the community may be located within. Also the bioregional statistics for the community are listed in a table. A broad assessment of the general condition or health of the community is based on the author’s personal judgement with input from DLWC, Far West Region field and technical staff. A broad description of the main soil types for the community is based on GIS analysis using landsystem mapping. VIS_ID 3332
