    <p>Four paired transects were set up early in the Reserve history to monitor the spread of saltbush (<em>Atriplex</em> spp.) into the reserve across the eastern and southern boundaries. These were read regularly for the first few years but data from them are not available digitally. The transects were reactivated in 1989 and measurements are provided for four occasions: 1989, 2003, 2008 and 2014. Species are identified as <em>Atriplex vesicaria</em>, <em>A. stipitata</em>, or if uncertain as A. sp., using the classifications of the 'Census of South Australian Plants, Algae and Fungi' (2024*).</p> <p>This is version 2.0 of the Koonamore Saltbush Transect Survey data release.</p>

    The study area examined was within the boundaries of the Breakaway Reserve in the arid/semi arid region. The objectives of the study was to systematically sample the vegetation of the range of vegetation associations within the area by using a series of grids and to map the major vegetation associations using aerial photography. Vertebrate fauna were also surveyed at a series of sites within each major vegetation association in areas showing reasonably homogeneous vegetation and least disturbance.

The Breakaway Reserve (Lands Department) 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 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.

    In 1999 the coastal vegetation from the Head of Bight to the southeastern Yalata boundary was surveyed so that data can be used in formulating future management plans for this stretch of coast, especially in relation to fishermens camping areas and 4WD access. The Yalata Land Use 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 the mid-1920's Professor Theodore George Bentley (TGB) Osborn, Professor of Botany in the University of Adelaide, put forward strong scientific arguments concerning the lack of knowledge of the ecology of arid zone vegetation, and the effect of grazing on it (Osborn, 1925). In 1925 negotiations proceeded between the University of Adelaide and Messrs Hamilton Wilcox Ltd to secure a parcel of land for the purposes of research on Koonamore Station, a sheep-grazing property approximately 400 km north-east of Adelaide. A parcel of land of around 390ha was identified and fenced to exclude rabbits and other stock. The area was originally referred to as the Arid Region Flora Reserve but later was named the TGB Osborn Vegetation Reserve after its founder. For simplicity it is commonly referred to as the Koonamore Vegetation Reserve. <br></br> <p>This record is a collection of flora and fauna observations conducted in the TGB Osborn Vegetation Reserve (or Koonamore Vegetation Reserve). </p> <br></br>These records are organised accordingly :<ul style="list-style-type: disc;"> <li><a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/90a26f3a-cf42-41e5-ada4-9b0166b15b09">Vegetation Quadrats</a></li> <li> <a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/05f37d50-935e-4a0a-b45e-cb1b606ce476">Photopoints</a></li> <li> <a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/c593e881-ddb4-408a-ba5d-6a5f9d258b39"><em>Cassia</em> Corner</a></li> <li><a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/aff278df-c8e8-41ab-b22e-66ea7d466169"><em>Myoporum platycarpum</em> plant individuals</a> </li> <li><a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/615b121a-3c4f-41b5-90f6-1b7e95ce7a9d">Saltbush Transects</a></li> <li><a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/d3e676a3-bf84-439f-ae99-0ce631ec6d64">Senna Populations</a></li> <li><a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/dfe1b721-19c1-4f88-91c3-23f438c6f531">Kangaroo Transects</a></li> <li><a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/e6448738-d870-432d-9795-955c90f6ee6e">Rabbit Warren Monitoring</a> </li>

    Project to undertake a survey of fauna and flora species with in the Winninowie Conservation Park. The aim of the project is to provide a better understanding of the species within the area for conservation purposes. The project was also used to improve the skill and training of regional staff in plant and animal identification, safe animal trapping practises and animal handling techniques. Trapping was conducted at 4 sites, over 4 nights (October 17-21 2008). Four vegetation sites (30m x 30m) also surveyed. The Winninowie CP Biological 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.
