Native Vegetation - Modelled 2005 Ecological Vegetation Classes (with Bioregional Conservation Status)

dataset: NV2005_EVCBCS
This is a derived dataset that delineates the Bioregional Conservation Status of EVCs. (NV2005_EVCBCS) . The dataset is derived from a combination of Victorian bioregions (VBIOREG100), Pre 1750 EVCs (NV1750_EVC) and the current version of Native Vegetation Extent (NV2005_EXTENT). Bioregional conservation status and geographic occurrence are applied to unique Bioregion-EVC units. The dataset underpins the implementation of Victoria's Native Vegetation Management Framework, and the preparation of Regional Vegetation Plans in addition to other biodiversity planning. The dataset requires upgrading when any of the three input datasets change. (Note that this dataset is stored in two Spatial Data Storage Environments within DSE - Arc/Info tiled libraries and Oracle/SDE single data layer. This metadata describes the Arc/Info dataset. The Oracle/SDE dataset is slightly different in that all non-vegetation classes are excluded from the data (ie. Bare rock, sand, non-native vegetation etc.) also the attributes include attributes expanded from Look Up Tables. These have an X_ prefix in the name.)

Description

Title
Native Vegetation - Modelled 2005 Ecological Vegetation Classes (with Bioregional Conservation Status) 
Alternate title
NV2005_EVCBCS 
Purpose
A Bioregional Conservation Status of vegetation types (Ecological Vegetation Classes) has been assigned to support the management of biodiversity values in Victoria. The dataset identifies unique combinations of Victorian bioregions and extant EVCs which have been assigned a conservation status rating. The dataset underpins the implementation of Victoria's Native Vegetation Management Framework which defines how the Bioregional Conservation Status of an EVC is used in determining the conservation significance for biodiversity purposes, and management implications. The layer will primarily support flora and fauna biodiversity evaluations and management. The layer is used to define National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) units (ie. a Bioregion-EVC combination equates to a unique NVIS description) NVIS descriptions are managed in the Victorian Vegetation Information System (VicVIS).
