Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups.

Biodiversity Summary: Rangelands, Western Australia
Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA.

Plants of Western Australian Granite Outcrops
JournalJournal of theof the Royal Royal Society Society of Westernof Western Australia, Australia, 80(3), 80:141-158, September 1997 1997 Plants of Western Australian granite outcrops S D Hopper1, A P Brown2 & N G Marchant3 1Kings Park and Botanic Garden, West Perth WA 6005 email: [email protected] 2Western Australian Threatened Species & Communities Unit, Department of Conservation and Land Management, PO Box 51, Wanneroo WA 6065 email: [email protected] 3Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Conservation and Land Management, PO Box 104, Como WA 6152 Abstract Outcropping granite rocks in Western Australia span a considerable climatic range, from the mediterranean south-west to inland desert and northern arid subtropics and tropics. At least 1320, and possibly 2000, plant taxa occur on Western Australian granite outcrops. Outcrop plant life is most diverse in the South West Botanical Province, with individual outcrops having up to 200 species, including many endemics not found in surrounding habitats. Species richness and local endemism declines with increasing aridity, to the point where Kimberley and Pilbara outcrops show little discontinuity in species from the surrounding landscape matrix. Outcrops are dominated by woody and herbaceous perennials, especially of the Myrtaceae, Orchidaceae, and Mimosaceae, and have an unusually rich diversity of annuals (Asteraceae, Stylidiaceae, Poaceae, Amaranthaceae etc.) compared with the flora as a whole. An unusual life form is found in resurrection plants capable of extreme desiccation and rehydration (e.g. Borya, Cheilanthes). Among woody perennials, bird pollination is frequent, and some outcrops harbour a high proportion of obligate seeder species due to the refuge from fire provided by bare rock barriers. -
