چکیده انگلیسی
Within the BRB, the Queensland Herbarium established that forests with brigalow as a dominant or subdominant component originally occupied over 7.3 million ha but were reduced to 586,364Â ha by 2009, with 460,499Â ha (78.5%) having brigalow as the dominant component. Using the Landsat FPC and ALOS PALSAR data, an additional 722,686Â ha of brigalow-dominated regrowth forest were identified giving a total forested area (brigalow-dominated remnant and secondary forest) of 1,183,185Â ha or 17.2% of the area of the 12 REs. Within this area, the greater proportion of regrowth (368,473Â ha or 31.1%) was mapped as early stage primarily because of recovery following recent clearance events. 230,551 (19.5%) ha and 123,662Â ha (10.5%) were mapped as intermediate and mature (non-remnant) stages respectively and the remainder (38.9%) was remnant forest. Users' and producers' accuracies were, respectively, 81% and 69% for early regrowth and 71% and 89% for mature and intermediate stage forests combined. The mapping, which used Queensland Herbarium's RE data to delineate brigalow extent, provided a structural, rather than age-based classification of growth stage, as is typically retrieved using time-series comparison of optical imagery. The regional estimates of growth/degradation stage generated for the BRB provide a basis for optimising the use and recovery of these threatened brigalow ecosystems with benefits for biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
