Service Description: This raster dataset NVIS7_0_AUST_PRE_MVS_ALB provides the latest summary information on Australia's pre-1750 native vegetation, which has been classified into Major Vegetation Subgroups. It is in Albers Equal Area projection with a 100 m x 100 m (1 Ha) cell size. A comparable present (Extant) raster dataset is available:
- NVIS7_0_AUST_EXT_MVS_ALB .
For this update, Version 7.0, the pre 1750 datasets were unchanged from the previous Version 6.0.
The extant datasets for Tasmania, Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory have been updated. An automated, data-driven procedure, followed by thorough manual checks, was undertaken to make any necessary updates to MVG/MVS assignments for New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania. Conversely, Queensland directly provided the MVG/MVS assignment for the state. For Version 6.0, updates were implemented for the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland, including a completely revised MVG/MVS assignment for Queensland, and MVG/MVS re-assignments were made where applicable to the remaining states/territories, with the exception of Tasmania. For Version 5.1, the extant dataset for Tasmania was updated, and gap-filling work was completed for the NSW extant dataset. Some of the rulesets underpinning the assignment of MVGs and MVSs were also updated to improve consistency for their allocation. Version 5.0 substantially standardised the lookup tables (NVIS5_0_LUT_DETAIL and NVIS5_0_LUT_AUST_FLAT). For more detail refer to the associated lookup tables. Previously, Version 4.2 updated NSW. For version 4.1 most agencies supplied data to the update.
This product is derived from a compilation of data collected at different scales on different dates by different organisations. Please refer to the separate Key Dataset map showing scales of the input datasets 'NVIS7_0_KEY_DSET_xxx'. Gaps in the NVIS database were filled by non-NVIS data, notably parts of South Australia.
Major Vegetation Groups were identified to summarise the type and distribution of Australia's native vegetation. The classification contains different mixes of plant species within the canopy, shrub or ground layers, but are structurally similar and are often dominated by a single genus. In a mapping sense, the groups reflect the dominant vegetation occurring in a map unit where there are a mix of several vegetation types. Subdominant vegetation groups which may also be present in the map unit are not shown. For example, the dominant vegetation in an area may be mapped as dominated by eucalypt open forest, although it contains pockets of rainforest, shrubland and grassland vegetation as subdominants. A number of other non-vegetation and non-native vegetation land cover types are also represented as Major Vegetation Groups. These are provided for cartographic purposes, but should not be used for analyses. The (related) Major Vegetation Groups represent the dominant vegetation groups in the dominant stratum, along with the dominant shrub or ground layer, and are available as separate raster datasets:
- NVIS7_0_AUST_EXT_MVG_ALB
- NVIS7_0_AUST_PRE_MVG_ALB.
