Text description of figure
Figure 1.8 shows four different maps to illustrate the four different levels at which the Land Environments of New Zealand classification can be mapped.
The first map, Level 1 of the classification, shows New Zealand’s North and South Islands to illustrate 20 different land environments and where these occur across New Zealand.
The second map, Level 2, shows New Zealand’s North Island and 100 different land environments and where these occur.
The third map, Level 3 of the classification, shows a portion of the Hawke’s Bay region to illustrate a 200 land environments classification.
The fourth map zooms in on one area from the Hawke's Bay region to illustrate a 500 land environments classification.
Each of the four maps illustrating the different levels of the classification uses a corresponding number of colours from 20 to 500 to classify and map the number of land environments that are visible.
