BDBSA Project Metadata Detail

Survey/Project Number: 861          Total No. of Sites: 1174
Survey/Project Name: Native Vegetation Act: BIRD RECORDS 1983-2012
Abstract: This project contains bird species and their associated vegetation communities recorded during inspections undertaken to administer the Native Vegetation Management Act 1985 and Native Vegetation Act 1991. Records are from inspections undertaken between 1983 and 2012 inclusive. Bird observations are tied to a specific habitat rather than to a specific survey size.This data will inform users with a knowledge of habitats occupied by specific bird species and conversely what species of birds inhabit specific vegetation types.The great majority of records are bird sightings by Graham Carpenter. Spatial resolution is generally quite low. Most site coordinates have been extrapolated from interpretation of aerial imagery. The point location may not match precisely the vegetation association. The spatial extent of each patch varies considerably.
 
Start Date: 01/01/1980      End Date: 01/01/2020
Survey Type: Vegetation and Fauna
   
Study Area Description: All land area within South Australia
Objectives
         Vegetation: Refer to Abstract.
         Fauna: Refer to Abstract.
Methodology
         Vegetation: *** No vegetation methodology recorded
         Fauna: For actual bird sightings, all birds species, the vegetation community in which they were recorded and the condition of vegetation communities will be entered as different survey sites. Dominant vegetation species will be entered.
