Significant outcomes.

The assessment resulted in an overall Econd® score of 50.5, reflecting a moderate condition of native vegetation across the project area. Indicator scores were generally high for shrub and tree species richness, highlighting strong biodiversity in these components. However, the assessment also identified key areas for improvement, particularly in the basal area of shrubs and trees and the number of large trees, which showed the greatest potential for ecological enhancement.

Limitations & disclosures.

Scope - This is a project scale (43% of the property) assessment based on a targeted assessment of native vegetation condition.  

Stratification - Broad vegetation groups were delineated directly from the mapping product and were not ground-truthed, validated or modified. 

Reference Benchmarks - Refined Basal Area reference benchmarks are not available in the published Regional Ecosystem Technical Descriptions. To address this limitation, we consulted experts at Queensland Herbarium and Biodiversity Science who generously provided basal area benchmarks delineated by stratum, either as personal communication, or more recently through draft updated Technical Descriptions. The draft Technical Descriptions are still under development, and as such may be subject to change. GreenCollar will review updated information in the published Technical Descriptions as it becomes available and incorporate into reference benchmarks used in the preparation of subsequent asset accounts for this account.
