A Biological Resources inventory and monitoring survey of the Flinders Ranges National Park - Oraparinna Section. Study was carried out for the Unit of Vertebrate Field Study Techniques for the Associate Diploma in Wildlife and Park Management (South Australian College of Advanced Education) Permanent vegetation photopoints described in the draft Management Plan were re-sampled at the request of the Nat. Parks & Wildlife Service to monitor long-term vegetation changes and to record observations of vertebrates. Regeneration of Native Pine (Callitris spp) was studied to determine factors affecting variations in seed distribution around a seed source. The results may be used as the basis for further studies in regeneration patterns of this species. Kangaroo surveys were repeated on established transects as part of regular monitoring or Kangaroos and Euros in the Oraparinna and Wilpena Pound areas. Reptile, bird and mammal trapping was carried out at the photopoints and in other areas during the study. Some of these sites have been remonitored in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999 & 2000 The Flinders Ranges 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.

This project was set up to obtain vegetation species and abundance information for utilisation in developing new remote sensing techniques for vegetation mapping (PhD Project). The Strzelecki (B. Sparrow) 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.

The project systematically surveys the extent and condition of remnant native vegetation on railway corridors / roadsides . A standard drive-by survey methodology is used to record dominant species (overstorey, understorey, emergent, threatened and alien species), structural type, density/distribution and understorey vegetation type in roadside vegetation. Mapping outputs are used to inform roadside vegetation management by Local and State Governments.

The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database of South Australia has been collected by Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, South Australia as part of the Ground Cover Monitoring for Australia project. The data is being used to calibrate, validate and improve vegetation fractional cover products derived from remote sensing, in particular the satellite sensors MODIS and Landsat. The data is being used to improve the national fractional vegetation cover product of Guerschman et al. (2009) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). This algorithm enables national, monthly identification of ground cover separating the photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic components by applying a linear unmixing methodology for spectral reflectance every 8 days as 16-day composites. For confidence in its ground cover estimates, the results were verified in the field at selected sites across Australia to allow more extensive calibration, validation and verification of accuracy of the remote sensing method. The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database represents the results of the field validation of remotely determined cover measurements by observing cover along point intersects with a total of 300 points (or 200 points with crops). It also has additional observations and measures such as landscape features, fire evidence, erosion evidence, biotic disturbance evidence, biomass estimates, basal area measurements, soil features and dominant vegetation species, as well as site photographs. The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database focuses on sites in extensive grazing systems of the rangelands and, to a lesser extent, in the mixed farming or intensive land use zone. Field validation aims at obtaining a wide spatial coverage of sites, with limited site revisits for temporal coverage.

The Arkaringa (ANZSES) 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.

The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database of Western Australia has been collected by Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia as part of the Ground Cover Monitoring for Australia project.

The Para Woodlands surveyed vegetation by establishing Standard Vegetation Survey quadrats using the Biological Survey Method of SA methodology. These quadrats will assist in long-term monitoring and vegetation mapping. 15 sites established within the Para Woodlands Reserve, and 7 reference sites outside the Reserve (sampling similar vegetation types). Sites were selected to represent each major vegetation association and/or land unit. Survey conducted 2005-2007. The Para Woodlands Vegetation (EAC) 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.

Vegetation monitoring to assess impact of stock removal at Green Gully, Oxley Wild Rivers National Park.. The JTH_GG(Vegetation monitoring to assess impact of stock removal at Green Gully, Oxley Wild Rivers National Park.) Survey is part of the Vegetation Information System Survey Program of New South Wales which is a series of systematic vegetation surveys conducted across the state between 1970 and the present.

State Forest Bago Maragle Survey (SF_BAGO). The SF_BAGO(State Forest Bago Maragle Survey (SF_BAGO)) Survey is part of the Vegetation Information System Survey Program of New South Wales which is a series of systematic vegetation surveys conducted across the state between 1970 and the present.

Pygmy bluetongues are considered critically endangered in Australia. They were thought to be extinct until their re-discovery in 1992. Between 1992 to 1997 a study was conducted to assist in research and ecology of the Tiliqua adelaidensis, in determining the habitat of the species. Between 2005 and 2010 there were 23 known populations of Pygmy Bluetongues in the Mid North. The project during this time aimed to survey and monitor 9 known populations of the lizard to develop a better understanding of their population processes. The Pygmy Blue Tongue Project 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.
