Vegetation mapping and community classification were undertaken using the National Vegetation Classification (NVC).
The dataset has been extensively validated and verified. However, some issues were encountered during field mapping that may have resulted in inaccuracies. In particular, map digitisation was of variable quality, and there were occasional difficulties in assigning vegetation stands to the correct community type.
