Bioregions currently without a completed BPA include the Wet Tropics and the Northwest Highlands.The following BPAs have been completed:South East Queensland Version 4.1Gulf Plains Version 1.1Cape York Peninsula Version 1.1Desert Upland Version 1.3Brigalow Belt Version 2.1Central Queensland Coast Version 1.3Einasleigh Uplands Version 1.1Mitchell Grass Downs Version 1.1Mulga Lands Version 1.4Channel Country Version 1.1New England Tableland Version 2.3 Biodiversity planning assessment series metadata record documentDigital Full ISO 19115 metadata record XML Biodiversity planning assessment - Brigalow Belt documentDigital The Brigalow Belt Biodiversity Planning Assessment (BPA) identifies terrestrial ecological values in the Brigalow Belt bioregion, according to their biodiversity significance. Spatial Data Format Biodiversity planning assessment - Cape York Heritage Area documentDigital This dataset represents Version 1.1 of the Cape York Heritage Area Biodiversity Planning Assessment.The Remnant Unit coverage used in the assessment process is based on the Queensland HerbariumRegional Ecosystem (RE) mapping Version 7 (September 2011).Biodiversity Planning Assessments are developed in two stages:1) Diagnostic Criteria, and2) Supplementary/Expert Panel Criteria. Spatial Data Format Biodiversity planning assessment - Central Queensland Coast documentDigital This dataset represents Version 1.3 of the Central Queensland Coast Biodiversity Planning Assessment.The Remnant Unit coverage used in the assessment process is based on the Queensland Herbarium Regional Ecosystem mapping Version 5.0 (December 2005). Biodiversity Planning Assessments are developed in two stages: 1) Diagnostic Criteria, and 2) Supplementary/Expert Panel Criteria. This coverage is the results for the completion of the stage 1 Diagnostic Criteria, and stage 2 supplementary Criteria. The stage 1 Diagnostic Criteria involved the integration of ecological Criteria using the Biodiversity Assessment and Mapping Methodology to determine the relative Biodiversity Significance. The stage 2 Supplementary Criteria allows for the refinement of the mapped information from stage 1 by incorporating local knowledge and expert opinion. The Biodiversity Assessment and Mapping Methodology (BAMM) has been prepared to provide a consistent approach for assessing biodiversity values at the landscape scale in Queensland using vegetation mapping data generated or approved by the Queensland Herbarium as a fundamental basis. It is being used by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to generate Biodiversity Planning Assessments (BPAs) for each of Queensland's bioregions.The methodology has application for identifying areas with various levels of significance solely for biodiversity reasons. These include threatened ecosystems or taxa, large tracts of habitat in good condition and buffers to wetlands or other types of habitat important for the maintenance of biodiversity or ecological processes. While natural resource values such as dryland salinity, soil erosion potential or land capability are not dealt with explicitly, they are included to some extent within the Biodiversity Status of REs recognised by the EPA Spatial Data Format Biodiversity planning assessment - Channel Country documentDigital This dataset represents Version 1.1 of the Channel Country Biodiversity Planning Assessment.The Remnant Unit data used in the assessment process is based on the Queensland Herbarium Survey and MappingRemnant Vegetation Communities and Regional Ecosystems of Queensland (DRAFT RE Mapping, 27 February 2009).Biodiversity Planning Assessments are developed in two stages: 1) Diagnostic Criteria, and 2) Expert Panel Criteria.This data is the result for the completion of the stage 1 Diagnostic Criteria, and stage 2 supplementary Criteria.
