NSW Forest Monitoring and Improvement Program State-wide Historic Forest Connectivity - 1995 to 2020

The spatial layers in this dataset detail forest connectivity over NSW. Forest Connectivity accounts for the general quality of terrestrial habitats supporting biodiversity at each location, the fragmentation of habitat within its neighbourhood and how its position in the landscape contributes to connectivity among the habitats across a region. <br>


Forest canopy cover connectivity and fragmentation is concerned and linked to forest condition. Concepts applied are to be aligned with definitions as found in the Biodiversity Indicator Program (BIP) and the Spatial Links methodology for calculating connectivity. <br>


Base cover extent grids used are from the NSW Forest Monitoring and Improvement Program Statewide Historic Forest Cover Extent – 1995 to 2020 product. These have been processed through a series of land use and vegetation type exclusion masking and a through a fuzzy-logic based certainty analysis to reflect a forest cover extent coverage for NSW that is reflective of past and current coverage.<br>

Purpose
This dataset was created for the NSW Natural Resources Commission to detail historic baseline and trends of forest connectivity for NSW for all land tenures, including all RFAs and IFOAs.
Credit
We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
Credit
The dataset is owned by NSW Natural Resources Commission. Spatial Vision established the method and initial application of creation of historic baselines.
