TerrestrialGDEs are ecosystems dependent on the sub-surface presenceof groundwater on a permanent or intermittent basis to meet all or some of their water requirements so as to maintain their communities of plants and animals, ecological processes and ecosystem services. TerrestrialGDE area features include riverine wetlands and treed (deep rooted) regional ecosystems that have some groundwater dependency. Information about the location and extent of known and potential GDEs was sourced from expert knowledge, literature and existing datasets.This dataset is one of five datasets that describe the distribution of known and potential GDEs across the landscape. The complete set of GDE datasets is: 1. Surface expression GDE points, 2. Surface expression GDE lines, 3. Surface expression GDE areas, 4. Terrestrial GDE areas, 5. Subterranean GDE areas. As the different types of GDEs represent different overlapping layers or cross-sections of the landscape, it is recommended that the datasets be mapped in the order of listing shown above (i.e. surface expression GDE points on top) to maintain logical consistency and assist visualization.Version 1.0 (released October 2012) - mapping covering the eastern Murray-Darling Basin (eMDB) and Wide Bay-Burnett (WBB).Version 1.1 (released May 2013) - mapping extended to include Pumicestone Passage catchment (PUM) and Mackay-Whitsunday (MW).Version 1.2 (released May 2015) - mapping extended to include South East Queensland (SEQ).Version 1.3 (released July 2015) - mapping extended to include Lake Eyre Basin (LEB), Cooper Basin (CB), Galilee Basin (GB), and western Murray-Darling Basin (wMDB).Version 1.4 (released December 2015) - mapping extended to include Surat Basin (SB) and southern Bowen Basin (sBB).Version 1.5 (released March 2017) - mapping covering the eastern Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) improved.Version 1.5.1 (released in May 2018) - mapping attribution revised to update hyperlinks to supporting material delivered via webpages. |
