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.

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.

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.

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. Survey report: Gillen JS & GN Drewien A Vegetation Survey of the Kanowana Wetlands, Cooper Creek South Australia. ? Department of Envirorunent and Land Management May 1993 The Kanowana Block 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.
