HClNC Vegetation Classification & mapping Project: Volume 1: Vegetation Classification Technical Report<br />
➜ Minimum unit of area = 0.1 ha<br />
natural grasslands<br />
➜ Grasslands where lack of woody over-storey is due to natural processes not human<br />
activity<br />
derived grasslands<br />
➜ Grasslands where original woody over-storey (shrubs or trees) has been removed<br />
through human activity<br />
A total of eight natural and five derived native grassland communities were identified through<br />
the workshop (see Table 4.6). A table of proposed grassland communities developed by the<br />
workshop along with information on the spatial distribution and ecological factors relating<br />
to the communities has been included in Appendix 10. The grassland communities were<br />
included with other unsampled communities identified through the review process and will be<br />
considered for further sampling as part of any future mapping work.<br />
