Biodiversity Summary: Namoi, New South Wales 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. The list summarises the input data, so errors in the data received would be reflected in this document. • The scientific names and taxonomic concepts used in this report reflect an ANHAT view of the data and not necessarily that found in government censuses, databases or other authoritative lists. Species list for Namoi NSW Page 1 of 115 21-Jan-11 Species List for NRM Region Namoi, New South Wales This list was produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities using the Australian Natural Heritage Assessment Tool (ANHAT). ANHAT is a database and decision support tool which uses over 33 million specimen and survey records for vertebrates, selected invertebrates and 137 vascular plant families (over 15,000 species). This species list does not include exotic or extinct species. Species are shown only if they belong to the families covered in ANHAT as shown in Appendix 1 and ANHAT holds records of the species from this region.

  • Land Unit Master
    Land Unit Information Sheet Land system name: Ludgate Land unit: LE3 General description This land unit represents the numerous shallow closed depressions, which occur throughout the Ludgate land system and range in size from hundreds of hectares to very small, so small that they cannot be delineated at a map scale of 1:100 000. Grey Vertosols (uniform, cracking clay soils) are predominant, however the area and depth of clay seem to have a major influence on the density and composition of the native vegetation. Acacia cambagei (gidgee), A. farnesiana (mimosa bush), Eucalyptus coolabah (coolabah), Eremophila bignoniiflora (eurah) together with Astrebla species (Mitchell grass) and Brachyachne convergens (native couch) are common on the deep, self-mulching clay soils, whereas the smaller areas with shallow clays, and slightly saline areas tend to have only coolabah, mimosa bush and a ground cover of annual plant species. Invariably, Eucalyptus brownii (Reid River box) and E. whitei (White's ironbark) fringe the depressions. Regional ecosystem 10.3.15 is predominant. Site characteristics Landform element Average slope Plain 0% Site drainage Soil permeability Poorly drained Slowly permeable Flooding risk Inundation risk Low Very high Potential recharge to groundwater Soil depth Low Variable; >1,5m Present land use Grazing, wetlands Susceptibility to land degradation processes Sheet erosion Gully erosion Wind erosion Salting Very low Very low Low High This information has been generated from the Desert Uplands Land Resource Database.
