It is used to store information on the floristics and structure of site based surveys as well as both fine and broader scale environmental attributes. VSD accommodates data requirements of DEPWS and outside agencies (including environmental consultants). VSD has the ability to contain vegetation site data that has been collected for numerous purposes such as mapping, monitoring, habitat recognition, floristic inventory, rare and threatened species and development assessment. Extracts from a range of data fields in the VSD database have been compiled into a single Northern Territory spatial dataset. This dataset will be regularly updated and is available to the public. The vegetation sites may be viewed and exported via NR Maps. https://nrmaps.nt.gov.au/nrmaps.html See folder: Vegetation.

The taxonomy is linked to the HOLTZE taxon table which is maintained by the Darwin North Australia Herbarium. Taxon name changes are dynamically updated where possible. The extracted spatial dataset will be updated regularly for public access.0not knownAccuracy varies according to the source and age of the data - new data is typically accurate to 10m and most data is typically 100/1000 m. Some older records are rounded to nearest degree. The accuracy of a record is sometimes indicated in the 'Geometry Precision' field. The accuracy of all data needs to be treated with caution.0not knownDetail varies from survey to survey. Not all data has been transcribed from field recordings on site sheets. Some old surveys did not collect the same information collected today but the sites have been included for completeness and awareness that a survey was conducted in that area.0Information has been collected from general field surveys or targeted threatened species surveys. The VSD database supersedes the RAVS database and has been expanded to include survey data from multiple contributors across the Department.
