The mini-compartments and invasive alien plant (IAP) species for all nature reserves and mountain catchment areas within the Western Cape that are managed by CapeNature.These mini-compartments are used by the WIMS system for issuing clearing contracts. Therefore this layer will have to be updated annually as the compartments are subdivided when they are too big for one contract. Annually,these mini-compartments (called NBALs in the WIMS system) can be just downloaded from the WIMS system.Field Descriptions:ID - Unique identifier generated by ArcGISNbalid - NBAL id as assigned by WIMSRes_Code -Reserve centre codeDescriptio - General description of locality , where availableComment - General comments on the NBAL, either referring to fire history or data verification, etcHAT - Indicating whether the NBAL is HAT or notNBAL_ha - Area in hectares calculated with projection set to UTM34SSp1-5_name - IAP species nameSp1-5_age - Species age, e.g. seedling, adult, mixed, etc.SP1-5_densco - Species densities in percentageSp1-5_method - Clearing methods for the particular species, e.g. cut-stump treatmentTot_densit - Total density calculated by summing the 5 density averagesStage - Last recorded clearing stage completed by reserveWFW_stages - Various stages the NBAL was worked, according to WfW WIMSWFW_lastst - Various stages the NBAL was worked, according to WfW WIMSStart_date - First date for with clearing was recorded in the WfW WIMS systemLast_date - Last date the NBAL was cleared, according to WfW WIMS |
