The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

  • Onslow Metals Turtle and Range Deposits Level 1 Flora Survey June
    Onslow Metals Turtle and Range Deposits Level 1 Flora Survey June 2011 Dr. Belinda Newman (Author) Newman Environmental 130 Riverview Ave South Guildford WA, 6055 Ph: 0433768578 ABN: 85 437 176 819 Email: [email protected] This page has been left intentionally blank Executive Summary Onslow Metals propose to conduct drilling and exploration activities and activate a quarry over the Turtle and Range tenements, approximately 80km south of Onslow. A reconnaissance survey and level one flora report were prepared for the site. The site has had some historic drilling and exploration activities, resulting in localised vegetation disturbance. Turtle Deposit tenement is 50ha in size and Range tenement is 120ha in size. The area that Onslow Metals will potentially disturb is approximately 15ha. Searches of the DEC databases revealed that two Priority flora were known to occur within the vicinity of the site. Neither of these species was observed during the reconnaissance survey. Following a review of other surveys within the area, and the habitat preferences of these two species, it was deemed that these species do not occur on the Onslow Metals tenements. The vegetation at the site ranges in condition from Good to Poor condition. Vegetation which is in Good condition has the potential to deteriorate over time with two introduced species recorded for the site having a „high‟ rating as an environmental weed. The site does not contain any Threatened or Priority Ecological Communities and the vegetation units are well represented in a regional context. As there are no Threatened or Priority flora, the vegetation and flora of the site has no conservation significance.

The recognition of sign such as tracks, scats, diggings or burrows is widely used to detect rare or elusive species. We describe the type of sign that can be used to confirm the presence of the greater bilby (Macrotis lagotis)in comparison with sign that should be used only to flag potential presence. Clear track imprints of the front and hind feet, diggings at the base of plants to extract root-dwelling larvae, and scats commonly found at diggings can be used individually, or in combination, to verify presence, whereas track gait pattern, diggings in the open, and burrows should be used to flag potential bilby activity but not to verify presence. A protocol to assess potential activity and verify bilby presence is provided. We provide advice on the application of a plot-based technique to systematically search for sign and produce data for the estimation of regional occupancy.

  • A Targeted Flora Survey of the Naturebank Envelope in Millstream Chichester National Park
    A TARGETED FLORA SURVEY OF THE NATUREBANK ENVELOPE IN MILLSTREAM CHICHESTER NATIONAL PARK Submitted by Robert Davis and John Huisman Western Australian Herbarium, Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife To Tourism section Parks and Visitor Services Department of Parks and Wildlife And Pilbara Region Department of Parks and Wildlife April 2017 Summary A flora survey was undertaken in the Naturebank envelope at Palm Pool in Millstream Chichester National Park, Western Australia, in order to identify vascular plant species in the project area and to highlight any of conservation significance. The survey was conducted over two days in March 2017 in good seasonal conditions and encompassed the area surrounding Palm Pool and associated river and access envelopes. A total of 110 taxa were recorded, including four conservation-listed taxa: Livistona alfredii (P4), Goodenia nuda (P4), Pentalepis trichodesmoides subsp. hispida (P2) and Teucrium pilbaranum (P2). Introduction The flora survey outlined herein has been undertaken in response to a proposed Naturebank ecotourism development in Millstream Chichester National Park. This ecologically and culturally significant park, which is dominated by the rugged Chichester Range, is located in the Pilbara bioregion of Western Australia, some 150 kilometres by road south-east of Karratha. The northern aspect of the Fortescue River at Palm Pool had been identified as a suitable site for the proposed development. The footprint measures at 107ha with a 4.84km boundary. The Palm Pool development envelope (Figures 1, 2) occurs in the Chichester IBRA subregion (Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts 2013) and sits on an elevated plain, with undulating, rocky hills adjoining the riparian zone of the Fortescue River.

  • The Vegetation of the Western Australian Deserts
    ©Reinhold-Tüxen-Gesellschaft (http://www.reinhold-tuexen-gesellschaft.de/) Ber. d. Reinh.-Tüxen-Ges. 18, 219-228. Hannover 2006 The Vegetation of the Western Australian Deserts - Erika and Sandro Pignatti, Rom - Abstract The internal area of W. Australia has arid climate and conditions for plant growth are particularly difficult. The surface of this huge, almost uninhabited territory consists of four landscape systems: the Great Sandy Desert, the Little Sandy Desert, the Great Victoria Desert, the Gibson Desert. The four deserts extend between 21-26° of south- ern latitude, linking to the central Australian deserts and the Nullarbor Plain in the South. Meteorological stations are only in settlements of the surrounding semi-desert areas (Wiluna, Meekatharra, Cue, Warburton), and all show around 200-250 mm year- ly rainfall; in the centre of the deserts rainfall is still much lower, and indicated as “erratic and unreliable”; some areas may lack rain for several years. Despite of the par- ticularly severe ecological conditions, most of the surface is covered by vegetation (at least a discontinuous one) and during expeditions in 2001 and 2002 over 700 species were collected and more than 350 phytosociological relevés were carried out.Two main habitat types can be recognized: Mulga – scattered growth of treelets (Acacia aneura, generally about 3-4 m height), with open understorey (Senna, Eremophila, Solanum) and herbs usually covering less than 20 % of the surface; in the Gibson Desert mulga occurs mainly on hard rock sub- strate (granite, laterite). Because of the discontinuous plant cover, fire can spread only over limited areas. Spinifex – Quite a compact cover of perennial grasses (several species of Triodia, with sharply pointed leaves in dense tussocks 3-5 dm high, panicles up to 1 m and high- er) in monospecific populations covering 60-80 % of the surface; in the sandy deserts, on siliceous sand.
