The NSW BioNet Flora Survey Data Collection is maintained via the Flora Survey Module of the NSW BioNet-Atlas application. This collection is a central, authoritative database for systematic vegetation survey data in NSW. Among other applications, this plot data is used to construct and maintain the quantitative Plant Community Type classification & Vegetation Integrity Benchmarks held in the BioNet Vegetation Classification Data Collection. These plots are also used to construct and update State Vegetation Type Maps held in the BioNet Vegetation Map Data Collection. ACCESS: Full datasets (site and species) may be accessed via the BioNet-Atlas application http://www.BioNet.nsw.gov.au/. Survey site level data is available in a machine readable form via the BioNet OData Web Service https://data.bionet.nsw.gov.au/. That data service is delivered to SEED where it is rendered as a Web Map Service. Further detail is available from http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/research/VISplot.htm.
This data collection includes over 100,000 survey plots, that are generally compatible with standard vegetation survey methodologies outlined in the NSW Native Vegetation Interim Type Standard http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/resources/nativeveg/10060nvinttypestand.pdf. The Type Standard and application accommodate a range of data types from various surveys, including: 1. full floristic survey data associated with vegetation classification and mapping; 2. rapid survey sites associated with field validation and vegetation type mapping; and 3. land-use data associated with the Monitoring Evaluation and Reporting Program (MER) Vegetation Condition site assessment. Species records in the Flora Survey Data Collection are also queried through the species sightings searches in BioNet-Atlas. Data in BioNet is made available in accordance with OEH's Sensitive Species Data Policy http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/policiesandguidelines/SensitiveSpeciesPolicy.htm. For species categorised as "sensitive", location information may be withheld depending on the species' status under the policy, and on the access rights of the user. Records in BioNet are not guaranteed to be free from error or omission.
