Map showing the changes in vegetation patch size in 75 Australian vegetation communities (as defined by the National Vegetation Information System 4.1). Underpinning data is a fragmentation measure reflecting the change in proportion of vegetation patches made up of less than 5000 hectares. Data analysis provided by Ayesha Tulloch of the Australian National University - using data from the the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Energy (National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) Major Vegetation Subgroups (MVS) 4.1). For further information on the data analysis see:
