Namoi Receptor Impact Variables (Pilliga)

Abstract

This dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This is a spatial layer that is used to produce a risk composite map for the potential ecological impacts on Pilliga region landscape classes.

It essentially categorises the different values of the receptor impact variables (RIV) in to three risk categories: 'no or minimal risk', 'some risk' or 'more at risk' using thresholds defined for each RIV (See Namoi 3.4 for more details).

Dataset History

This is version 01 of the data layer. It was created using landscape classification, receptor impact modelling results and the risk thresholds defined in the Namoi 3-4 report dealing with landscape classes.
