Heard Island: baseline data for monitoring longterm change. (b) Vegetation mapping from non-rectified aerial photographs and satellite imagery with accompanying data.

For the remaining areas, five sets of shapefiles cover the vegetation mapping for five small areas in the Atlas Cove/north coast region: Pageos Moraine/Kildalkey Head, Azorella Peninsula, Hoseason Beach, Saddle Point and Cape Bidlingmaier. These areas were poorly covered by aerial photography, and their vegetation was mapped at low resolution using five separate non-rectified airphotos and satellite images - hence not able to be included as part of the Heard Island georeferenced vegetation dataset.

This will be fixed and the data amended. Until this time, the data represent an 'interim' situation of low resolution vegetation mapping for these areas. For each of the five areas there are four shapefiles covering vegetation polygons, 35mm photo locations, aerial photos or satellite images used, and reliability.
