Abstract
The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.
This is an update to version 2 of the dataset. Landscape Groups (lc_group) were added to the dataset as per product 2.3 Conceptual modelling for the MaranoaBalonne-Condamine subregion. Unique landscape class identifiers (lc_id) were also added.
The landscape classification of the Maranoa-Balonne-Condamine (MBC) subregion is outlined in the associated report on Conceptual Modelling in section 2.3.3.1 (Landscape classification methodology). This spatial dataset is updated from version 2, which was constructed from several other data layers associated with: Queensland remnant vegetation, Queensland wetlands, Queensland groundwater dependent ecosystems, Queensland springs, Geofabric stream network and Australian land use mapping.
Classification of these existing datasets using explicit rule sets (see MBC 2.3.3.1) resulted in 24 landscape classes that cover the entire MBC subregion.
Dataset History
