Werribee Plains Vegetation Resources
The Biodiversity Interactive Map on the DSE website (external link) allows users to display a number of vegetation themes for any area of Victoria - including Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVCs), 1750 EVCs, broad EVC Groups and Bioregional Conservation Status of EVCs. Users can then print out the maps they have created.
 Werribee Plains Bioregions | The Werribee Plains region lies within 3 of Victoria's Bioregions. Much of the area is part of the Victorian Volcanic Plains , whilst other areas are part of either the Otway Plain or Central Victorian Uplands bioregions. |
 Groups of Ecological Vegetational Classes | Vegetation mapping for conservation uses in Victoria uses Ecological Vegetation Classes which are a classification based on co-occuring native plant species (both understorey and overstorey), broad ecological themes, and environmental attributes. Mapping is typically at 1:100 000 scale but may also be undertaken at 1:25 000 in very fragmented or diverse landscapes. The map provided here shows the major groups of EVC classes that occur in the Werribee Plains region. These groups are used to simplify the number of colours required so that maps can be easily displayed on the website. The detailed EVC mapping is available from the Parks, Flora and Fauna Division of DSE. |
The Werribee Plains region contains areas of a number of EVC groups that are significantly depleted at a regional and state level, including Grasslands and Plains Grassy Woodland.
