The zones are also aligned with the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia. The Conservation Management Zones provide a way of understanding Australia’s natural environment that will assist in long-term conservation planning and help the Australian Government to better design, deliver and report on Natural Resource Management (NRM) investments, including ensuring alignment of national NRM priorities with local action. The Conservation Management Zones also provide a filter through which to make national environmental and socio-economic data more accessible and comprehensible, and a framework for gathering on-ground knowledge and expertise about the environment. This will improve information flow to the Australian Government about regional NRM requirements, best practice management, emerging NRM issues and knowledge gaps. The Conservation Management Zones do not represent any change to existing administrative boundaries or governance structures, but aim to support the NRM and wider community to cooperatively manage environmental assets across boundaries, where they share common threats, ecological characteristics and stakeholders. Each Conservation Management Zone profile contains a standard suite of nationally available ecological and socio-economic information. We hope that this information will enable Australians of all ages and backgrounds to engage with, understand and appreciate Australian landscapes, and support all Australians to manage our natural resources more effectively. The profile information provides an indicative, high-level stock-take of the environmental and socio-economic landscape and it is not intended to be comprehensive. It should also be noted that, at present, the profiles contain only limited information on aquatic ecosystems, coastal assets and Indigenous land management practices. In future, consultation and comprehensive literature reviews will enable us to provide more complete information. 2 / Conservation Management Zones of Australia, South Eastern Australia Temperate Woodlands Zone at a glance Area of zone: Population density: 18,798,291 hectares % of Australia: 2.03 people 2.44% per square kilometre Zone population characteristics Zone employment characteristics 400,000 391,450 350,000 3.7% 300,000 250,000 200,000 Number of people 150,000 100,000 50,000 0 otal T er 65 Ov a second language English as ndigenous 96.3% I outh (15–24) Y Employed Unemployed Source: Based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data 3 / Conservation Management Zones of Australia, South Eastern Australia Temperate Woodlands Major cities and towns Population Top five agricultural commodities Value (millions) Cobar 3,827 Cereals for grain $2,189 Cobram 5,417 Fruit $749 Corowa – Wahgunyah 6,327 Dairy $747 Deniliquin 7,494 Beef $420 Echuca – Moama 16,820 Wool $389 Forbes 6,795 Total value of agricultural Griffith 17,630 commodities (including other $6,168 commodities not listed here) Kerang 3,564 Kyabram 5,652 Leeton 6,711 Climate characteristics* Mulwawa 8,692 Mean annual temperature 16.3 Celsius Namurkah 3,840 Mean Maximum of the Hottest Month 31.9 Celsius Narrandera 3,864 Mean Minimum of the Coldest Month 2.9 Celsius Parkes 10,021 Mean Annual Rainfall 414.3 mm Seymour 3,625 Uniform Shepparton – Mooroopna 42,754 (though Southern Swan Hill 9,362 Dominant rainfall season regions Tatura 3,678 Winter Temora 3,874 dominant) Wangaratta 17,388 * The figures are interpolated 75-year means (1921 to 1995) representing the period prior to the onset of rapid climatic warming.

  • Native Forb Information Sheet
    United States Department of Agriculture Native Forb Information Sheet Missouri Information Sheet IS-MO-643Native Forb Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Missouri Conservation Practice 643 December 2017 Native forbs, or broadleaf plants, are a natural part of the Missouri landscape. They welcomed European settlers to the state, painting the prairie and savanna landscapes with vibrant colors that changed throughout the season while supporting an incredible diversity of native wildlife. More than 800 plant species, most of them forbs, have been identified on Missouri’s prairies. Missourians are demonstrating a rekindled interest in native forbs for their beauty, hardiness, and wildlife benefits. Native forbs are well adapted to Missouri’s climatic extremes, which range from potentially brutal cold in January to the often stifling heat of July. Once established, native forbs require few inputs and little maintenance. Native forbs feature a variety of shapes, sizes, color, and value to wildlife. The towering compass plant, the vibrant butterfly milkweed, the rather plain but very valuable roundhead lespedeza, and the unique rattlesnake master all add important diversity to any planting. Choosing which ones to plant can be difficult; contact your local conservation agency representative, or one of the vendors of native forb seed for assistance. You can find a list at www.plant-materials.nrcs.usda.gov/mopmc, www.grownative.org, or www.monativeseed.org. Seed vendors can be excellent sources of information, and they are often as eager as you are for your planting to be successful. Refer to Table 1 in this document for general information about native forbs that are most often available commercially.
