Dataset Type Spatial
Description This dataset contains the spatial locations of the opportunistically collected Phytophthora sp. infestation information contained in the DEW's Biological Database of South Australia (BDBSA). The observations examine the presence (suspected by physical observation and/or confirmed by soil testing) of Phytophthora cinnamomi in native vegetation across South Australia - focusing on higher rainfall areas especially Mount Lofty Block, Kangaroo Island and southern Eyre Peninsula. The information has been collected by staff from DEW and other government and local government organisations. Data is presence only.
Dataset Use The data can be used to assist in the management and control of the spread of Phytophthora sp. in South Australia.

Data Quality

Lineage Locational information is collected in a number of formats. This includes map coordinates, gps coordinates and general coordinates determined after field work has been completed. The data is verified by the Ecologist - Biosecurity and then entered into BDBSA. A table containing the required fields is then derived from BDBSA on a weekly basis, a spatial layer is generated and then re-loaded into Spatial data library. Verification of the presence of phytophthora is based on a laboratory testing of a soil sample or on the presence of symptoms of phytophthora on plant species that are known to be susceptible. For most sites, all or some of the following details are noted: Species affected, topography, soil, size of area or number of species affected. Data collected opportunistically ie when someone is suspecting the presence of Phytophthora through symptoms in plants known to be susceptible to the disease. Data is collected all year round. Field work is always conducted by at least one competent person.
Completeness Every effort has been made to present the locations of Phytophthora infestation as accurate as possible especially when GPS coordinates have been provided. Data set is incomplete and Phytophthora infestations may be present elsewhere. The Ecologist - Biosecurity and designated regional DEH staff regularly collect field information, and the database is then updated by the Ecologist - Biosecurity.
Positional Accuracy Points are considered reasonably accurate especially when GPS coordinates have been provided. Positional accuracy is related to a location method (Reliability 1=0-50m;2=>50-100m; 3=>100-250m)
