Vegetation Management Plan - Bidjigal Reserve4 SURVEY RESULTS4.1 Flora4.1.1 Vegetation CommunitiesUBM has used the maps series prepared by Tozer et al. 2006 (see Figure 4.1) to classify thevegetation communities present in Bidjigal Reserve. These maps, drawn at a scale of 1:25,000, arenow recommended by DECC for determining the type of vegetation community extant on a site.Accompanying this mapping series is a report which provides vegetation community descriptions, amethod for field assessment using a standard 0.4 hectare test plot area, and a set of diagnosticspecies.Descriptions for each vegetation community type described by Tozer include notes on habitat andstructural characteristics, a floristic summary and a list of positive diagnostic species. Thediagnostic species for the respective vegetation communities include all the flora species occurringmore frequently among the samples assigned to a single community than they do among all theother possible communities listed in the Report. Using this method, and data from plots surveyed byDECC as well as those established by UBM, the flora of Bidjigal Reserve has been ground-truthed andthe identity of the extant vegetation communities confirmed.A number of other vegetation mapping projects have been undertaken for the Reserve, includingtwo (2) surveys undertaken by BHSC (1989 and 2004). A summary is provided in Table 4.1, alongwith the community descriptive used in these survey reports.Table 4.1: Comparison of Different Vegetation Community NamesSCIVI* (2006)Sydney Hinterland GullyForestCoastal SandstoneRidgetop WoodlandSydney TurpentineIronbark ForestSandstone Riparian ScrubSydney HinterlandTransition WoodlandCumberlandShale/SandstoneTransition WoodlandBIDJIGAL RESERVE &SURROUNDINGBUSHLAND (BHSC 2004)Sydney Sandstone GullyForestSydney SandstoneRidgetop WoodlandSydney TurpentineIronbark ForestSydney Sandstone GullyForestSydney SandstoneScrub/HeathBAULKHAM HILLS SHIRECOUNCIL (2006)Sydney Sandstone GullyForest ComplexSydney SandstoneRidgetop ComplexSydney TurpentineIronbark ForestSydney Sandstone GullyForest ComplexShale/SandstoneTransition ForestShale/SandstoneTransition ForestSydney Sandstone HeathUBM (2008) *after Tozeret al 2006Sydney Hinterland GullyForestCoastal SandstoneRidgetop WoodlandNot PresentSandstone Riparian ScrubSydney HinterlandTransition WoodlandNot PresentNot present*SCIVI = Native vegetation of southeast NSW: a revised classification and map for the coast and easterntablelands.
