Modifications

The bioregional assessment areas layer used by WetlandSummary is based on the source layers below, with the following modifications:

Combined layer containing both bioregion and subregion assessment areas
Name is the value of either the Bioregion or Subregion field depending on the source layer
Excluded Clarence-Moreton subregion as it is identical to the bioregion of the same name
Excluded Gwydir subregion as it is predominantly in NSW
Transformed coordinate system of ba_bioregion_alb_gda94_v06.shp from UTM GDA_1994_Australia_Albers to geodetic EPSG:GDA94
Transformed coordinate system of ba_subregion_alb_v06.shp from UTM GDA_1994_Australia_Albers to geodetic EPSG:GDA94
Excluded 11 features outside of Queensland
Excluded a total of 2 features by filtering
Clipped 5 features extending partially beyond the Queensland border (some may be due to minor misalignment at the border)
Combined features and attributes from 2 source layers
Excluded source field albers_ha because appears in multiple source layers with different types: Double, String
