Service Description: Current ecosystems of Auckland, "current" being the representation of native ecosystems as they occur today in the face of human impacts. All of Auckland’s existing ecosystem types and information were transcribed into the national system for identifying and describing ecosystems developed by the Department of Conservation and refined for the Auckland Region (Singers & Rogers 2014, Singers et al. 2015), producing a consolidated ecosystem layer (or map of ecosystems) for the region. The layer was used to inform the development of the Significant Ecological Area (SEA) schedule for the Auckland Unitary Plan.

For CSV and Excel extracts, the Ecosystem Extent Domains document will assist in resolving domains.

This layer has been created to assist the Council in identifying and managing threatened and at risk ecosystems in the Auckland region. The ecosystem classification system used in creating this layer was developed by the Department of Conservation (Singers & Rogers 2014) and refined by Nick Singers to match the specific nature of ecosystems found within the Auckland Region. For further information about the classification system, see Singers et al. (2015) Indigenous terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems of Auckland. The process of mapping the current extent of Auckland’s terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems has involved collating data and information from a variety of sources. For example, all terrestrial ecosystem data from past ecological surveys, held by legacy councils, was aggregated; numerous publications that documented the state of indigenous vegetation in Auckland were collated, including the Department of Conservation’s Protected Natural Area Programme survey reports and research papers for sites throughout the region. Ecological surveys carried out to potential SEAs assisted in filling knowledge gaps and to updating some of the existing data. The resulting data was used to inform the mapping of ecosystems.
