Victorian Biodiversity Atlas flora - 1 minute grid summary

Brief description

## **Abstract**

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.



This layer summarises VBA flora records against a standard grid of 1 degree longitude/latitude (GDA94). Any VBA taxa record with its centre in a cell is counted as a record for that cell. The number of times a taxon has been recorded in a cell is collated in the RECORDS column. The first date and last date that a taxon has been recorded in a cell are also summarised. VBA data summarised against 10 and 5 minute grids are also available in related datasets. VBA records with a spatial accuracy worse than +/- 1 km are excluded from this layer.

## **Purpose**

This layer can be used to indicate general localities where wildlife have been recorded. It can also be used

as an index to assist in the analysis of the VBA_FLORA25 and VBA_FLORA100 layers. This layer

includes restricted records and can act as an alternative to VBA_FLORA_RESTRICTED.

## **Dataset History**
