Description Usage Format Details Source
A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame of the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) version 7.0. The dataset comprises 9659 polygons representing 89 biogeographic regions (419 subregions) that reflect the biotic and abiotic environment across Australia. These data are provided by the Australian Government Department of the Environment. More information about IBRA 7 is available at http://www.environment.gov.au/land/nrs/science/ibra.

A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
with 419 polygons and 16 fields:
SUB_CODE_7
: Alphabetic identifier for the IBRA subregion.
SUB_NAME_7
: The full name of the IBRA subregion.
REG_CODE_7
: Alphabetic identifier for the IBRA region.
REG_NAME_7
: The full name of the IBRA region.
HECTARES
: The area of the polygon, in hectares.
SQ_KM
: The area of the polygon, in square kilometres.
REC_ID
: Numeric identifier for the IBRA region.
SUB_CODE_6
: Alphabetic identifier of the previous IBRA6.1 subregion.
SUB_NAME_6
: The full name of the previous IBRA6.1 subregion.
SUB_NO_61_
: Numeric identifier of the previous IBRA6.1 subregion.
REG_CODE_6
: Alphabetic identifier of the previous IBRA6.1 region.
REG_NAME_6
: The full name of the previous IBRA6.1 region.
REG_NO_61
: Numeric identifier of the previous IBRA6.1 region.
FEAT_ID
: Feature identifier.
Shape_Leng
: The length of the polygon's perimeter (?).
Shape_Area
: The area of the polygon, in square degrees (?).
POLY_ID
: A unique sequential integer identifying each
polygon, permitting distinction between multiple polygons originating from
multipart polygons representing IBRA sub regions.
Multipart polygons were converted to single part polygons using QGIS 2.10.1,
and the resulting dataset was projected from GDA94 (EPSG:4283) to Australian
Albers (EPSG:3577) using spTransform
.
