Data Gaps Notes
Clarence Basin (NNC11)
Ecological and life history data

Eucalyptus experts currently unavailable to comment on condition, trend and threatening process for subregions with endemic and species rich eucalypts

Sampling bias towards public land and forest ecosystems. Very limited private land survey sites and lower intensity of sampling in non-forest ecosystems. Targeted survey of threatened plant species has been scarce. Data on population parameters fo

As noted in the text for NRM actions the datalayer for community Bush/Land/Coastcare, only contains data for those groups who wish to release their details (about half of the total).

As noted in the text for NRM actions the datalayer for wildlife refuges is currently being reviewed and the data used is not yet complete.
