It has been 43 15 31 15 2 15 2 produced using a combination of aerial photograph interpretation (API - to identify 43 15 2 15 2 where vegetation remnants exist) and computer modelling of vegetation community 31 15 2 15 2 43 15 2 distribution (to predict which vegetation communities exist in a particular remnant). 43 13 43 15 2 31 of the 15 15 2 43 31 43 43 43 Mapping vegetation using aerial photograph interpretation, has a number of limitations: 31 31 43 62 67 43 15 2 * Drawing the boundary of the remnants is subjective; 62 67 33 43 * Limitations with geo-referencing the data; and 15 33 * The distortion of aerial photographs towards the edge of the photograph and due to 15 15 2 15 topographic variation. Cumberland Plain 43 15 2 15 2 15 15 15 2 15 2 43 The limitations of the modelling of the vegetation community distribution relate to: 43 15 2 * Assigning a distinct boundary to communities that have a gradual transition 15 31 15 2 15 2 between them; 43 15 15 31 13 33 43 * Sampling bias in the vegetation modelling program as the remaining vegetation is Map 10 of 16 43 15 2 15 43 highly fragmented and only represents a small portion of the study area; and, 15 2 * Limits in the accuracy of the other environmental data layers used in the process. 15 2 15 2 15 2 33 15 2 15 2 15 2 15 2 eg. the resolution of the soil landscape layer is at 1:100 000.
