Vegetation of Durokoppin and Kodj Kodjin Nature Reserves
II VEGETATION OF DUROKOPPIN AND KODJ KODJIN NATURE RESERVES B.G. MUIR INTRODUCfION Durokoppin Reserve (DR) and Kodj Kodjin Reserve (KKR) both fall within the Avon district of the South-west Botanical Province of Gardner and Bennetts (1956) and the vegetation of the Reserves largely conforms to that generally found throughout this region. Abbreviated vegetation descriptions of DR appear in Appendix 1 and of KKR in Appendix 3. Full descriptions of the vegetation following the format presented in Muir (1977a) have been lodged in the Archives of Western Australian Museum; details are available on request from the Librarian. A description of the road verge connecting DR and KKR is given at the end of Appendix 1. Methodology The vegetation of DR and KKR was mapped at Level 2 of the reliability scale set out in Muir (1977a). Each vegetation formation discernible on the air photographs was examined on the ground; this information was then extrapolated to adjacent formations. Uncleared land contiguous to the Reserves but not included within them was mapped at formation level directly from the photographs (Level 3). Level 2 locations, shown on vegetation Maps 1 and 2 represent 'sample areas' where the vegetation was examined and described using the classifica tion shown in Table 1 and discussed in detail in Muir (1977a). The following prefix numbers of the locations represent basic formation types. 1 woodland formations 5 lithic complexes 2 mallee formations 6 breakaway complexes 3 shrubland formations 7 salt complexes 4 heaths 8 other Level 3 locations are shown on the maps prefixed by: W = woodland formations M = mallee formations The methods used in classifying formations, coding habitat data, preparing plant lists, classifying litter and describing soils are those of Muir (1977a). -
FINAL REPORT 2019 Canna Reserve
FINAL REPORT 2019 Canna Reserve This project was supported by NACC NRM and the Shire of Morawa through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program Canna Reserve BioBlitz 2019 Weaving and wonder in the wilderness! The weather may have been hot and dry, but that didn’t stop everyone having fun and learning about the rich biodiversity and conservation value of the wonderful Canna Reserve during the highly successful 2019 BioBlitz. On the 14 - 15 September 2019, NACC NRM together with support from Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions and the Shire of Morawa, hosted their third BioBlitz at the Canna Reserve in the Shire of Morawa. Fifty professional biologists and citizen scientists attended the event with people travelling from near and far including Morawa, Perenjori, Geraldton and Perth. After an introduction and Acknowledgement of Country from organisers Jessica Stingemore and Jarna Kendle, the BioBlitz kicked off with participants separating into four teams and heading out to explore Canna Reserve with the goal of identifying as many plants, birds, invertebrates, and vertebrates as possible in a 24 hr period. David Knowles of Spineless Wonders led the invertebrate survey with assistance from, OAM recipient Allen Sundholm, Jenny Borger of Jenny Borger Botanical Consultancy led the plant team, BirdLife Midwest member Alice Bishop guided the bird survey team and David Pongracz from Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions ran the vertebrate surveys with assistance from volunteer Corin Desmond. The BioBlitz got off to a great start identifying 80 plant species during the first survey with many more species to come and even a new orchid find for the reserve. -
DRAFT 25/10/90; Plant List Updated Oct. 1992; Notes Added June 2021
DRAFT 25/10/90; plant list updated Oct. 1992; notes added June 2021. PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE CONSERVATION VALUES OF OPEN COUNTRY PADDOCK, BOOLARDY STATION Allan H. Burbidge and J.K. Rolfe INTRODUCTION Boolardy Station is situated about 150 km north of Yalgoo and 140 km west-north-west of Cue, in the Shire of Murchison, Western Australia. Open Country Paddock (about 16 000 ha) is in the south-east corner of the station, at 27o05'S, 116o50'E. The most prominent named feature is Coolamooka Hill, near the eastern boundary of the paddock. There are no conservation reserves in this region, although there are some small reserves set aside for various other purposes. Previous biological data for the station consist of broad scale vegetation mapping and land system mapping. Beard (1976) mapped the entire Murchison region at 1: 1 000 000. The Open Country Paddock area was mapped as supporting mulga woodlands and shrublands. More detailed mapping of land system units for rangeland assessment purposes has been carried out more recently at a scale of 1: 40 000 (Payne and Curry in prep.). Seven land systems were identified in open Country Paddock (Fig. 1). Apart from these studies, no detailed biological survey work appears to have been done in the area. Open Country Paddock has been only lightly grazed by domestic stock because of the presence of Kite-leaf Poison (Gastrolobium laytonii) and a lack of fresh water. Because of this and the generally good condition of the paddock and presence of a wide range of plant species, P.J. -
Kalannie Region
Botanical name Acacia eremaea C.R.P.Andrews, J. W. Austral. Nat. Hist. Soc. 1: 40 (1904) The botanical name is derived from the Greek eremaios (which, according to Sharr 1996 is a poetic form of eremos, desert) and alludes to the arid environment where this species grows. Common name Southern Snakewood. Characteristic features Small trees with rather twisted, gnarled trunks and branches and a dense crown. Phyllodes large, narrowly elliptic to elliptic-lanceolate, gradually tapered to an acuminate apex, sub-rigid, glaucous, obscurely multi-nerved (3 nerves more evident than the rest); pulvinus well-developed. Heads globular, many-flowered. Flowers 4- merous. Seeds large; aril poorly developed. Saline habitat. Description Habit. Spreading tall shrubs or small trees 2-5 m tall, with characteristically gnarled, twisted trunks and main branches and a dense crown 3-6 m wide which, on oldest trees, is confined to the upper 30% of the plants, young plants are rounded shrubs with the foliage extending to ground level.

1 a Survey of the Flora of Remnants Within the Waddy
1 A SURVEY OF THE FLORA OF REMNANTS WITHIN THE WADDY FOREST LAND CONSERVATION DISTRICT Stephen Davies and Phil Ladd for the Waddy Forest Land Conservation District Committee March 2000 2 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 METHODS 3 RESULTS 4 DISCUSSION 56 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 59 REFERENCES 60 Appendix 1 - Composite plant list 60 Appendix 2 - Plants found outside the sample sites 67 Appendix 3 - Composite bird list 67 3 INTRODUCTION The Waddy Forest Land Conservation District is about 41,000 hectares and contains 23 substantial land holdings. In 1999 the District received a grant from the National Heritage Trust to survey the flora of its remnant vegetation. Much of this is on private property and the District Committee selected thirty three plots of remnant bushland on private farms to be included in flora survey. The present report is based on visits to these thirty three remnants that lie on 14 of the 23 farms in the district. The surveys are intended to provide information about the biodiversity of the various remnants with the aim of establishing the priority for preservation, by fencing, of the remnants and to determine the value of linking some of them by the planting of corridors of vegetation. At each site the local landholder(s) joined the survey and provided invaluable background information about the history of the remnants. The vegetation of this part of the northern wheatbelt is known to be very diverse. The Marchagee Nature Reserve, lying north west of the District, was surveyed between 1975 and 1977 (Dell et al. 1979). The area was covered by Beard in his vegetation mapping project (Beard 1976), and part of the south of the District was covered in a report on Koobabbie Farm in 1990 (Davies 1990). -

Conservation Science W. Aust. 7 (1) : 153–178 (2008) Flora and Vegetation of the banded iron formations of the Yilgarn Craton: the Weld Range ADRIENNE S MARKEY AND STEVEN J DILLON Science Division, Department of Environment and Conservation, Wildlife Research Centre, PO Box 51, Wanneroo WA 6946. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT A survey of the flora and floristic communities of the Weld Range, in the Murchison region of Western Australia, was undertaken using classification and ordination analysis of quadrat data. A total of 239 taxa (species, subspecies and varieties) and five hybrids of vascular plants were collected and identified from within the survey area. Of these, 229 taxa were native and 10 species were introduced. Eight priority species were located in this survey, six of these being new records for the Weld Range. Although no species endemic to the Weld Range were located in this survey, new populations of three priority listed taxa were identified which represent significant range extensions for these taxa of conservation significance. Eight floristic community types (six types, two of these subdivided into two subtypes each) were identified and described for the Weld Range, with the primary division in the classification separating a dolerite-associated floristic community from those on banded iron formation. Floristic communities occurring on BIF were found to be associated with topographic relief, underlying geology and soil chemistry. There did not appear to be any restricted communities within the landform, but some communities may be geographically restricted to the Weld Range. Because these communities on the Weld Range are so closely associated with topography and substrate, they are vulnerable to impact from mineral exploration and open cast mining. -
