The density of indicative threatened ecological community distributions is derived from the Department's ecological communities of national environmental significance data. Threatened Ecological Communities (TEC) distributions contain three categories to indicate where their habitat is known, likely or may occur across Australia. The spatial input data was filtered using the following criteria: <\/SPAN><\/P>

1. Distributions for EPBC Act (1999) listed TECs that are Matters of National Environmental Significance (critically endangered or endangered).<\/SPAN><\/P>

2. Contains \u2018known\u2019 and/or \u2018likely to occur\u2019 habitat categories. <\/SPAN><\/P>

3. Marine TECs are included<\/SPAN><\/P>

The number of overlaps for each distribution in the selected feature set were counted and gridded to a 0.01 decimal degree (~1km) cell size. <\/SPAN>Note projecting the data will alter the cell size. <\/SPAN>The source distribution for each TEC is determined independently of others and is indicative in nature. As such, a count higher than one may indicate:<\/SPAN><\/P>

\u2022 TECs have been mapped in the same habitat or <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u2022 TECs are mapped adjacent within the same 1km grid cell or <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u2022 TECs distributions have been mapped at different scales or levels of detail <\/SPAN><\/P>

Given the indicative nature of the source data which includes data of a range of quality and currency, this output should be used as a guide to the location of TECs across the country.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The selection of TEC distributions for inclusion in the count is based on the EPBC Act list of TECs and spatial data in the Department enterprise GIS as at the revision date in the metadata. Current EPBC Act listed TECs are described in the Species Profiles and Threats application (SPRAT: https://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/sprat.pl).<\/SPAN><\/P>
