  • Assessing the Conservation Reserve System in the Jarrah Forest Bioregion
    JournalJournal of ofthe the Royal Royal Society Society of ofWestern Western Australia, Australia, 79(4), 79:241–248, December 1996 1996 Assessing the conservation reserve system in the Jarrah Forest Bioregion N L McKenzie1, S D Hopper2, G Wardell-Johnson1,3 & N Gibson1 1 Science and Information Division, Department of Conservation and Land Management, P O Box 51, Wanneroo WA 6065; 2 Kings Park and Botanic Gardens, Fraser Avenue, West Perth WA 6005; 3 present address: Department of Biology, University of Namibia, Private Bag 13301, Windhoek Namibia Abstract Recent reviews have assessed the comprehensiveness of the conservation reserve system over the northern part of the Jarrah Forest Bioregion in terms of vegetation complexes. The complexes were distinguished in terms of geomorphology and dominant vegetation. The least reserved complexes are those of the Darling Scarp, Blackwood Plateau, Collie Coalfields and those with agriculturally desirable soils. Available maps can be used to estimate the reserved area of each of the Bioregion’s vegetation complexes or geomorphic units, but there are not enough data on patterns in biodiversity to assess other facets of its adequacy, even in the northern part of the region. A quadrat-based regional survey is necessary if the representativeness of the area’s reserve system is to be assessed from an ecosystem perspective. The sampling would need to cover a range of the different components of the biota (perennial floristics, vertebrates and selected invertebrate taxa). Such surveys are time-consuming and expensive. Current studies of rare, restricted and endemic spe- cies, of weed, feral animal and pathogen impacts, and of forest management effects, need to continue in parallel.
