  • Hawkesbury-Nepean, New South Wales
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

  • The Native Vegetation of the Cumberland Plain, Western Sydney: Systematic Classification and Field Identification of Communities
    Tozer, Native vegetation of the Cumberland Plain 1 The native vegetation of the Cumberland Plain, western Sydney: systematic classification and field identification of communities Mark Tozer NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967 Hurstville 2220, AUSTRALIA phone: (02) 9585 6496, fax.: (02) 9585 6606, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Twenty-two vascular plant communities occurring on, and adjacent to the Cumberland Plain and Hornsby Plateau, are defined using a multi-variate analysis of quantitative field survey data. Communities are described using structural features, habitat characteristics and diagnostic species. Diagnostic species are identified using a statistical fidelity measure. The pre–European spatial distribution of communities is estimated using a decision tree approach to derive relationships between community distribution and geological, climatic and topographical variables. Contemporary vegetation cover is estimated from 1:16 000 scale aerial photography (1997/98) and sorted into six categories based on cover of Eucalyptus species. These categories are only approximately related to vegetation condition: high Eucalyptus cover classes are most likely to contain high levels of floristic diversity, but areas with scattered cover or no cover at all may have either high or low diversity. Map accuracy is assessed using independent field samples and is primarily limited by the accuracy of 1:100 000 geological maps. Patterns in overstorey composition were mapped at 1:16 000 scale but were less useful in delineating community boundaries than was hoped because few species are confined to a single community. The extent to which observer bias may influence estimates of the present extent of remnant vegetation is investigated by comparing the interpretations of two observers for a subset of the study area.

It follows a three-year research project, also funded by the Environmental Trust, Biodiversity re- sponses to fire regimes under climate change (2004/RD/0104). The findings from the research project form part of the content of this booklet. Most of the maps in this publication were com- pleted as part of a project funded by the Australian Government Caring for our Country, World Heritage Property Management Program (2008–09), which is summarised in Hammill, Tasker, & Reid (2010) Monitoring Fire Regimes and Biodiversity in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, an unpublished Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW (DECCW) report to the Australian Government Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts and Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. The fire history maps were compiled from extensive records and digital layers kept by the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service (now part of DECCW). The vegetation map made use of extensive and detailed local vegetation maps prepared by the Information and Assessment Section, Metropolitan Branch of DECCW (see Further Reading for details). We also acknowledge the prior work of Saskia Hayes in collating some of the vegetation maps for the World Heritage Area.

The remnant flora along with the native fauna, however, are becoming increasingly rare and threatened as development encroaches and fragments natural areas, water quality declines and weeds replace nativespecies. This booklet is a guide to what native flora is still present and draws attention to their rarity and vulnerability. Fairfield City Council’s Natural Resources Program aims to reduce and prevent these impacts to ensure our natural areas can be enjoyed by present and future generations. The local community can also play an important role in protecting and enhancing these areas through active involvement with local environmental groups including the Fairfield Indigenous Flora Park group, Fairfield Creeks and Wetlands Group and Fairfield Community Nursery Volunteers.
