Abstract
The Integrated Vegetation Cover (2003), hereafter referred to as the IVC03 dataset represents vegetation cover across Australia and was compiled by integrating a number of recent vegetation-related datasets.This dataset was developed to assess and report on the type and extent of native, non-native and non-vegetated cover types across the whole landscape. This dataset has been used to describe vegetation types found in each National Action Plan and Natural Heritage Trust regions across Australia. Data are stored as a raster of 100m resolution and are projected in Albers conic equal-area coordinates.Version 1 incorporates a selection of the latest available vegetation data as at July 2003.Vegetation cover in the IVC03 dataset is described using a 12-class attribute schema that was developed to meet vegetation-related information needs of the Commonwealth Government natural resource management arena.The IVC03 dataset has 12 attribute classes:1Native forests and woodlands 2Native shrublands and heathlands 3Native grasslands and minimally modified pastures4Horticultural trees and shrubs5Perennial crops6Annual crops and highly modified pastures7Plantation (hardwood)8Plantation (softwood/mixed)9Bare10Ephemeral and Permanent Water Features11Built-up99Unknown/not reportable. Five datasets were used as inputs to create the IVC03 dataset.A national ruleset was developed to assign orders of precedence to each attribute value from each input dataset.The ruleset was used to integrate the inputs into a single vegetation cover dataset. The five input datasets were:-Agricultural Land Cover Change (ALCC95);-Forests of Australia 2003 (FOA03);-1996/97 Land Use of Australia, Version 2 (LUA97);-Land Use Mapping at the Catchment Scale (LUMCS03); and-National Vegetation Information System 2000 (NVIS00).
