    The TREND (PSRF)- Terrestrial Ecosystems project initiated a landscape-scale monitoring transect along the Adelaide Geosyncline region in southern Australia, initially spanning approximately 550 km. The aim was to examine spatial drivers of species composition and to isolate the influence of climate on whole vegetation community composition and therefore inform on-going monitoring of the impact of climate change. Specific questions were: 1. What are the most important spatial drivers of species and phylogenetic composition along landscape-scale environmental gradients? 2. Can the answer to Question 1. inform selection of suitable spatial analogues for climate change? 3. How can a framework for assessing spatial drivers be used to monitor and interpret shifts in species composition due to climate change? The dataset consists of site and species records (see attachments) for plots established along the Adelaide Geosyncline for the TREND project. Data consist of vascular plant species composition (presence-abundance/absence) within 900m<sup>2</sup> plots plus site data, including aspect and soil properties. Data have been used to analyze changes in composition with geographic and environmental differences and as a baseline for monitoring.

    In 1993 this survey was conducted to provide the Angaston District Council with baseline data on the indigenous plant species contained within blocks of remnant vegetation in the area. This data was used to provide an assessment of the significance of these blocks of remnant vegetation and the seed source significance of the blocks for the district council. This study was also used to supplement the existing data held by the DTUPA for this area. The Angaston District Council 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 aims to undertake a biological survey of eight permanent water sites within the rangelands of the South Australian Murray Darling Basin (SA MDB) region. The project will address knowledge gaps in baseline data particularly affecting the flora and fauna of waterways, wetlands and ephemeral creek lines of the rangeland area. The biological survey will focus on collecting baseline biological data including aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna at eight permanent water sites, from the Tothill Ranges in the South to Caroona Creek Conservation Park in the north. The biological survey is to be undertaken to meet with the biological survey standards of the Department of Environment and Heritage (DEH), to enable sharing of information between state agencies and community groups working towards biodiversity conservation in the rangelands area. The survey was conducted in 2009. The Permanent Water Sites Survey in the Rangelands of the Murray Darling Basin, SA 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.

    In 1999 to 2000 a baseline inventory of 455 hectares of remnant native grassland and vertebrate and invertebrate fauna in the Mid North was created. The area was proclaimed as Mokota Conservation Park in October 2000. It is the first native Lomandra multiflora ssp. dura Tussock Grassland in a park in SA. Survey was conducted using the Biological Survey of South Australia method. Reference: Hyde M.K.(2000) Mokota Conservation Park; Burra Hills South Australia. A Baseline Biodiversity Study.

Cone Baseline 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 survey, held in 1993, examines the area of the Stirling District Council. Its aims were to: locate and map the remaining indigenous roadside vegetation, assess the condition of remnant vegetation on both roadside verges and other council reserves, identify areas of high conservation significance and identify management issues associated with the long term conservation of the remnant vegetation. The Stirling District Council 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.

    Documentation of natural occurrences of native and alien flora to identify significant areas and assist in devising and prioritising conservation management. The survey aimed to target 14 representative sites across 147ha of remnant disturbed Eucalyptus microcarpa, Eucalyptus leucoxylon, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Allocasuarina verticillata grassy woodland on the western foothills of the Mt Lofty Ranges (Waite Conservation Reserve). Waite Conservation Reserve, owned by The University Of Adelaide, is situated in the hills face behind the Waite Institute campus at Urrbrae, Brown Hill Creek and Springfield. The reserve includes two Heritage Agreement areas. HA1249 comprises 21.2 ha and was formerly a Stone Reserve. HA1262 comprises 89.6 ha and incorporates most of the areas known as Hardy Block, Netherby Block and Springfield Block. Ongoing survey work has been carried out . The Waite Conservation Reserve 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.
