Appendix 3. Regionalisation Results 1. The relationship
between the stream domains and the system controls on
river development and behaviour.
This appendix consists of graphs that show the average and range of values of each system
control on river development and behaviour, in each of the river domains. For the categorical
system controls, graphs show the percentage of the total area of the domain that consists of
that system control. For the continuous system controls, the graphs show the average value
and the range from the 5th to the 95
th percentile. Also included is a graph that shows the area
covered by each domain.
To keep the data consistent with its presentation in other places in this report, the scale of
some system controls has been altered. These units are described in Table 1, and it is
important that you read these and remember them when interpreting the graphs.

Effective precipitation Centimetres -6.9 –

Conversion from the commonly
used mm to cm was required in
order to present all controls on
one graph. Note that effective
precipitation can be negative
because it is rainfall minus
evaporation.

Appendix 5. Regionalisation Results 3. The domain based
variability in system controls in the domain mosaics of the
upper Macquarie and Apsley case study area.
These graphs show the relationship between the domains found in each subregion in the upper
Macquarie and Apsley case study area, and the system controls on river development and
behaviour. The system controls and their effect on the landscape are described in chapter 4.
For each subregion, the graphs are arranged in order of spatial dominance, with the domain
covering the largest area of the subregion presented first. The top 4 domains by area are
graphed for each mosaic, and where there are domains that were diagnostic of the mosaic that
cover a smaller area, these are also graphed.
For ease of comparison between domains, all the system controls for each domain are presented on one graph. Strictly speaking, each control should be graphed separately, because
the scale is different for each. To present all the data on one graph has required the use of
some unusual units, such as expressing precipitation in centimetres. These units are described
in Table 1, and it is important that you read these and remember them when interpreting the
graphs. For the climate and topography variables, the columns represent the average value for
the domain, and the error bars represent the 5th and 95
th percentiles of the range of data.
