Description
This polygon spatial dataset provides information on the vegetation community unit boundaries of Elsey Station, Northern Territory. The survey area of 5,270 km2 is located approximately 100 km south west of Katherine Township via the Stuart Highway and Roper Highway.
The original mapping was undertaken by Ecostudy on behalf of Greening Australia and the Northern Land Council to assist the development of a Vegetation Management and Rehabilitation Plan. Elsey Station is now called Mangarrayi Aboriginal Land Trust. (NT Portion 5417) This department compiled the associated spatial data for the project and is the responsible agency for it's safe storage and dissemination.
The original field survey was undertaken in 1993 at a mapping scale of 1:100,000. 27 vegetation communities are described based on 20m x 20m plots from 134 field inspection sites.

Data Quality
Lineage:Mapping units were interpreted after recognition of vegetation patterns on Landsat (bands 3, 4 and 5) with reference to existing vegetation and land resource maps. All discernable patterns were delineated and, taking access into account, field inspection sites were proposed in each major mapping unit.
Map unit boundaries derived using hard copy aerial photography and stereoscope, satellite imagery, geological and topographic maps. Field data (site data) described and classified according to national standards at the time of capture. Map unit polygons collected via geographic information system (ArcGIS).
Positional Accuracy:POLYGON DATA - Map unit boundaries transferred from aerial photographs to topographic maps, using the best available topographic mapping at the time (generally 1:100 000) via a mapograph. Level of accuracy depends on the number of control points on individual aerial photographs. Control points include creek lines, cadastre and other topographic features. Depending on the nature of the landscape (the number of control points), positional accuracy may vary. Positional accuracy generally considered moderate to high.
POINT DATA - Site point coordinates collected from a geographic positioning system with general accuracy of within 100m. Selective availability during this time prevented increased accuracy.
Attribute Accuracy:The accuracy of the attribute information is considered high and conforms to the 'Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook' at time of capture. Analysis of site data to provide community information.
Attribute values, as described in the Data Dictionary below, have been added to each polygon.
Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in line work. Polygon topology rules applied are; must not overlap, must not have gaps and each polygon has only one label.
