Description

Abstract:

This polygon spatial dataset describes the mapped vegetation units for the Mount Bundey proposed army training area. The mapped information describes vegetation units and their attributes as floristic and environmental data and provides a basis for identifying the extent and distribution of vegetation resources. (Vegetation Unit - A reasonably homogeneous part of the land surface, distinct from surrounding terrain with constant properties in landform and vegetation)

The survey area of 1,194km2 is located between Kakadu and Mary River National Parks, south of the Arnhem Highway, approximately 100k south east of Darwin.
The original field survey was undertaken in 1988 and 1989 at a mapping scale of 1:100,000.

Data Quality

Lineage:Original linework derived using colour aerial photography to delineate land unit boundaries and site selection, then extensively ground-truthed with topographic basemap/GPS coordinated field survey and site data collection. Resultant verified linework scanned/digitised into GIS system as ArcInfo vector information then built as a polygon cover. Recompiled and updated to GDA94 as part of ongoing GIS Progarm 2004.
Source data
Aerial photography - 1:**,000 Col
Base map - Australian Topographic Survey Series 1:100,000 AGD66
- Aust Geology Survey Series 1:250 000 AGD66
- Northern Territory Cadastre AGD66
GIS - ArcInfo vector as AGD66/GDA94

Positional Accuracy:Good - Derived from topographic basemap, NT cadastre and GPS. The summation of errors from all sources results in data with a standard deviation defined by scale used as +/-250m for well-defined points.

Attribute Accuracy:The attribute information conforms to the 'Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook' at time of capture.
Attributes assigned according to the dominant feature. Attribute values, as described in the Data Dictionary below, have been added to each polygon.

Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in line work. Polygon topology rules applied are; must not overlap, must not have gaps and each polygon has only one label.

Completeness:complete
