This data is designed as an aid to improve our understanding regional biodiversity for conservation planning and natural resource management decisions. Facilitates more efficient and scientifically-robust environmental assessments of petroleum/geothermal or pastoral development activities, and vegetation clearance/offset proposals in the region. |

Based on methodology described by Hobbs TJ, Armstrong D, Wenham D, Howell S, Spencer J, Maconochie J, Facelli F, Brandle R, Bowen Z & Fitzgerald L (2017). Flora and fauna communities of the Cooper-Eromanga Basin, DEWNR Technical report 2017/23, Government of South Australia, Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources / Department of the Premier and Cabinet, Adelaide. Data sources: DEWNR Biological Databases of South Australia (2017); Atlas of Living Australia (2016); Landsat satellite imagery (1987-2015); Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia (2015); Interim Biogeographic Regions of Australa (2012). Positional accuracy:0.000278 degrees Attribute accuracy:Maximum likelihood classification of 28 ecotype models. Some mis-classifications may occur at the local scale. Local patches of gridcells should inspected and compared with high-resolution satellite imagery. Where obvious mis-classifications occur users should review neighbouring gridcells and allied ecotypes to refine interpretation of mapping. Logical consistency:28 ecotypes classes, 1 persistent water class (>75% of time) Data is gridded at ~30 m cell size and interpretations should not be made at scales less than this. |
