Table 8. NVIS Classification System structural formation classes. SECTION A: GUIDELINES Cover Characteristics Foliage cover * 70-100 30-70 10-30 80 50-80 20-50 0.25-20 80 50-80 20-50 0.25-20
SECTION A: GUIDELINES The structural formation classes in conjunction with a height qualifier (Table 9) and species information are used to generate Levels I to VI of the NVIS Information Hierarchy (Table 4). A program SAVEG version 1.1 has been built to allow entry of the three components and species information to build the six level NVIS hierarchy automatically. For manual building of the hierarchy and full details of NVIS and core attributes see the NVIS Australian Vegetation Attribute Manual Version 6.0 (ESCAVI, 2003). Comparisons of common classifications systems and criteria (Walker & Hopkins, 1990; Specht, 1970; NVIS) are provided in two categories: cover and structural formation (Appendix 3) and height classes (Appendix 4). Appendix 5 is a useful table to translate codes and descriptions from the Walker and Hopkins (1990) classification system to NVIS. Table 9. NVIS height classes and corresponding growth forms. Height Class Height Height Range (m) tree, vine (M & U), palm (single stemmed). shrub, heath shrub, chenopod shrub, ferns, samphire shrub, cycad, tree-fern, grass-tree, palm (multistemmed) Applicable Growth Forms tree mallee, mallee shrub tussock grass, hummock grass, other grass, sedge, rush, forbs, vine (G) 8 >30 Tall NA NA NA NA 7 10-30 Mid NA Tall NA NA 6
