    Data were used to demonstrate fitness impacts caused by fragmentation context. Showed extensive pollination can protect tree fitness from fragmentation. Grew open-pollinated progeny arrays of the bird-pollinated, mallee tree <i>Eucalyptus incrassata</i> in a randomised block design in a common garden experiment at Monarto, South Australia. Progeny arrays were collected from parental trees in either continuous forest or highly fragmented contexts. Data are therefore experimental, for hypothesis testing Data are not descriptive ecological, not plot based and not time-series. Data are not a representative sample of <i>Eucalyptus incrassata</i> and not representative of mallee eucalypts.

    Microsatellite genotype data for 3 eucalypt species. Data include progeny and adults from across a gradient of habitat fragmentation. These microsatellite data could be further used in additional analyses, e.g. genetic diversity. Samples collected from stands on eucalypts as follows: non-neighbouring adult trees had leaf and seeds collected. Leaf was used to genotype the adults. Seeds were germinated, tissue then collected, and the same microsatellites genotyped - i.e. open-pollinated progeny arrays. The dataset is possibly useful for meta-analysis or review of effects of habitat fragmentation on plants (e.g. mating system, genetic diversity etc).

    The dataset includes two main components: (1) Tree survey - data on the species, diameter and height of individual trees, along with a count of seedlings and saplings; and (2) Coarse woody debris - data on the size and decay class of downed coarse woody debris encountered in the plots.

    To investigate the effect of rising groundwater and salinity on the health of low-lying vegetatin in the Bunbury-Taunta area, 14 vegetation survey sites were conducted in 1992.Survey site methodology was the Biological Survey of SA, with quadrats generally being 30 x 30 m but some were 5 x 50 m. The study's objectives were to map and describe the different health classes and extent of vegetation degradation, describe the process and timing of vegetation decline, and predict future decline in vegetation health. At each site, species presence and abundance data was collected, samples of soil, groundwater and surface water were collected for salinity readings and a general description of the area was made. Photopoints were also established. The data was then analysed subjectively to determine the typical characteristics for each health class. The report resulting from the study is: Webb, L (1993), An investigation into the environmental effects of rising groundwater and salinity on native vegetation in the Bunbury-Taunata area (including the proposed Lesron Conservation Park) in the Upper South East of South Australia. The SALINITY IMPACTS UPPER SOUTH EAST Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

    A study surveying the Pureba Conservation Park and Nunnyah Conservation Reserve to obtain baseline data for PIRSA Mines & Energy 'Pureba/Nunnyah Rehabilitation Project', which is investigating regeneration of native vegetation on mineral exploration tracks; and to improve vegetation sample coverage in the area, complimenting the existing Yellabina Survey vegetation quadrats. The Pureba Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

    Shirrocoe management plan survey contains flora data from Biological survey sites which were completed in May 2008. The survey also collected baseline data on fauna species present. Extra effort was put into searching Sandhill Dunnart habitat for signs of presence. Permanent photopoints were erected at fauna sites. A few vegetation sites are not marked. The Shirrocoe Management Plan Survey Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

    This project was for the collection of standard vegetation quadrat data for the preparation of 1:50000 scale vegetation maps of Lincoln National Park. Data from earlier vegetation mapping of offshore islands is included in this project. The Lincoln National Park Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

    A biological survey of an area of Messent Conservation Park around the proposed saline ground water drain that establishes baseline data against which potential changes, due to the drain, can be monitored.

    A preliminary botanical survey of vegetation associations within Venus Bay Conservation Reserve to record and assess existing floral values, as part of continuing Biological survey of this reserve, the adjacent Venus Bay Conservation Park and coastal environs. Data was used for environmental management projects into the future: to conserve hinterland coastal remnant vegetation and natural features. The Venus Bay Conservation Park, Conservation Reserve, and environs Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.
