    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.

    Friends of Unnamed Conservation Park (West region South Australia) Ecological Monitoring Program. Broadly, the aim of the monitoring is to initially provide some baseline data on the presence / absence of introduced and native fauna, and on the composition, structure and condition of vegetation at monitoring sites. This will provide a good basis for recording long term ecological trends, which in turn will provide information on the process driving ecological patterns and changes within the park. I understand that Biological Survey have established / are establishing survey sites across the park. The long-term monitoring program will complement this and improtantly provide long-term data for the region (sites will be monitored at least once per year). It is likely sites will primarily be established along the Anne Beadell Highway west of Volkes Hill Corner. It is envisioned the following will be conducted: - Site Description / Photopoint establishment (as per BSM standard) - 2ha Animal Track survey (as per method developed by Michelle Watson and Rick Southgate and previously employed by Friends of Simpson Desert_ - Bird survey (as per BSM standard, over 2ha area) - Vegetation quadrat data (as per BSm standard) - Vegetation monitoring (Jessup transects and Ground cover assessment) - Marsupial Mole Trench Surveys First Survey conducted in July 2006. DEWNR has trip data for 2008/2011/2012/2013. The Friends of Great Victoria Desert (GVD) Area Ecological Monitoring Program 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 1986 a one year program to investigate the biota of Coongie Lakes was initiated. The aims were to: identify and document the seasonal changes to the flora and fauna of the Coongie Lakes District, to assess the impacts of human activities and other agencies upon the biota and to make recomendations for the areas effective conservation management. The report by Reid & Gillen 1988 summarises the findings. The biological research of Coongie Lakes continued until 1997 as more funding was received. In 1990 a project to assess the impact of flooding on the districts terrestrial biota was also conducted. Photopoint Site Sheets and a 31/2 inch floppy disc are field with the BioDataStore hardcopy files containing details of photopoint seqences from 1986-1988. It is unknown if these photos or information has been captured electronically. REFERENCE: Reid, J., Gillen, J.S.,1988,The Coongie Lakes Study,Department of Environment and Planning.

    This survey is part of the Biological Survey of SA programme run by the Biological Survey & Monitoring group in DEH. Survey areas defined in a DEH spatial layer managed by DEH Environmental Information Group. Objectives were to carry out a general biological survey in an area with very little information previously available and to try and begin the preparation of a vegetation map for parts of the Strzelecki Desert (concentrating on the Callabonna 1:250000 mapsheet). Visit period 13 SEP 1990 - 25 SEP 1990: Vegetation and Vertebrate survey Visit period 1 AUG 1990 - 12 SEP 1990: Photopoints only The Strzelecki 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 was held in the Kanowana Block between 1990 and 1992. The Kanowana Block contains a vast network of channels, lakes, waterholes irrigated by floodwaters from the south west branch of the Cooper Creek and the northern overflow from Coongie Lakes. The survey was based on the current survey methodology for flora and vertebrate surveys which were adapted to suit the wetland system. Several objectives of the project were to adopt a site-based survey to assess, classify and map vegetation of the area, to create a baseline data for future monitoring and contributing to an understanding of the wetland system. The project was also a pilot study to test approaches and techniques for vegetation survey and mapping in other desert wetland systems of the Lake Eyre basin.
