Survey/Project Name: | General Trends in Vegetation Recovery - Flinders Ranges |
Abstract: | A number of permanent monitoring sites have been established on the Flinders Ranges National Park to enable long-term evaluation of vegetation responses to management programs aimed at reducing total grazing pressure. Some sites were established during the original NPWS Survey of the park in 1977 and others were formalised during the Land Condition assessment in 1998. Photopoints have been surveyed at irregular intervals. These photopoints form an important component of a general program of vegetation monitoring for all plant communities within the Park. |

Study Area Description: | Various locations within Flinders Ranges NP |
Objectives | |||
Vegetation: | A number of permanent monitoring sites have been established on the Flinders Ranges National Park to enable long term evaluation of vegetation responses to management programs amied at reducing total grazing pressure. Some sites were established during the original NPWS survey if the park in 1977 and others were formalised during the Land Condition Assessment in 1998. The photopoints form an important component of a general program for all plant communities within the park. Some sites have Jessup transects for measuring changes in perennial species. | ||
Fauna: | *** No fauna survey objectives recorded | ||
