Modifications

The subtidal ecosystem layer used by WetlandSummary is based on the source layers below, with the following modifications:

  • Added field AFID - Attributed Feature ID
  • Added field U_DOM_TYPE - Ecosystem type description
  • Added field D_INUNDTN - Inundation
  • Added field D_NRG_MAG - Energy magnitude
  • Added field D_SED_TEX - Sediment texture
  • Added field D_SMB_CMP - Structural macrobiota composition
  • Added field D_SUB_CMP - Substrate composition
  • Added field D_T_MORPH - Terrain morphology
  • Added field D_CONSOL - Consolidation
  • Excluded source field Version because it has no values

Additional human language abstract/description

The intertidal and subtidal benthic habitat (ecosystem) mapping of Central Queensland provides seascape scale ecosystem mapping for Central Queensland State waters between Double Island Point (approx. 25 degrees south)and the mouth of the Fitzroy River (approx. 23.5 degrees south), to the 3 nautical mile limit offshore, and to the upper known limit of tidal influence.

Each ecosystem type has information about eight biophysical attributes: benthic depth, inundation, energy magnitude, consolidation, substrate composition, sediment texture, terrain morphology and structural macrobiota. Ecosystem types and their attributes hyperlink to descriptions on the WetlandInfo website.

The attribute classification and typology approach based on biophysical attributes using the Queensland Intertidal and Subtidal Ecosystem Classification Scheme.

For further information about this dataset see the Wetlandinfo website https://wetlandinfo.des.qld.gov.au/wetlands/

Resource purpose/summary
This is the subtidal portion of the dataset, based upon the intertidal extent of the Inundation attribute.

The intertidal and subtidal benthic habitat (ecosystem) mapping of Central Queensland is a seascape scale map of ecosystem types. It is based on mapped biophysical attributes from available data between 2000 and 2015. This is a generalised version specifically for online delivery, and is derived from another more detailed mapping dataset.
