Subterranean GDEs are ecosystems dependent on the subterranean presence of 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. Subterranean GDE area features include cave ecosystemsthat 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 covers the whole of QueenslandVersions1.1 to 1.3 do not existVersion 1.4(released December2015) - updated mapping covers the whole of Queensland and includes significant updates to attributionVersion 1.5 (released March 2017) - no change from v1.4Version 1.5.1 (released in May 2018) - mapping attribution revised to update hyperlinks to supporting material delivered via webpages. |
