Abstract This part is the first in a series that will describe the biological survey of the Eastern Goldfields District of Western Australia. It deals specifically with the background, aims and objectives of the survey and outlines the methods used to document vegetation, soils, flora and verteprate fauna at numerous sample sites representative of this heterogeneous region. The Eastern Goldfields District (266,000 km') was selected for survey for the following reasons because: there had been no previous detailed survey of the biota of the District, which is a region of considerable interest in that it lies between the mesic South West and arid Eremaean regions; extensive areas of vegetation have remained relatively unmodified since European settlement; the need to evaluate the adequacy of existing conservation reserve systems; pressure to release more land for clearing for cereal crops in south-western and southern parts of the district.

  • Flora and Vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields Ranges: Part 2. Bremer Range
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 81:107-117, 1998 Flora and Vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields Ranges: Part 2. Bremer Range N Gibson & M N Lyons Science and Information Division, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Centre, PO Box 51 Wanneroo WA 6065 email: [email protected]; [email protected] Manuscript received March 1997; accepted November 1997 Abstract A study of the flora and plant communities of the Bremer Range greenstone belt in the spring of 1994 recorded 267 taxa. Only eight weed species were recorded but this number is likely to increase if further work is carried out in a better season. The flora list included one species gazetted as rare and new populations of five rare or poorly known taxa. Three species appear to be endemic to the Bremer Range greenstone belt, one of which was collected for the first time. Six community types were defined from 64 sites spread across the range. The distribution of these community types appears to be primarily controlled by edaphic factors including soil water holding capacity. The floristic classification is in broad agreement with previous work but shows finer-scale patterning. None of the floristic communities or the endemic taxa are presently reserved. There has been significant impact on the vegetation of this range by mining and mineral exploration. Introduction time (possibly Cretaceous) of higher rainfall. Widespread laterization of the granites and greenstones is believed to The geology of ranges of the Goldfields region of have occurred during the Tertiary i.e. the last 65 My Western Australia has been subject to extensive and (Newbey 1988).

  • Species List
    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. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.
