Distributional data for target and off-target species of small mammals collected as part of the Rare Rodent Project. The Rare Rodent project involves the ongoing monitoring of two species of threatened rodent, the Plains Rat (Pseudomys australis) and the Dusky Hopping Mouse (Notomys fuscus). The project aims to look at distribution, status and ecology of the species (in Outback South Australia). Currently there are two monitoring sites for each species, which are visited twice a year. The project began in 1992 and hopes to continue in the long term subject to funding. An additional species, the Kultarr (Antechinomys laniger), is now being targeted as part of the project due to its unknown status. The Rare Rodents 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.

The Sandy desert survey is part of the Biological Survey of SA programme run by the Biological Survey & Monitoring group in DEH. Generally standard methodology used. Survey areas defined in a DEH spatial layer managed by DEH Environmental Information Group. A modified standard Biological Survey methodology, Vegetation Mapping methodology, was used during this project at sites identified by the label prefix 'VMS'. At Vegetation Mapping Sites the dominant overstorey and understorey plant species and perennial plant species with a Braun-Blanquet cover abundance score greater than 1 were recorded. Plant height data were not recorded. Either a subset of the complete physical dataset (such as slope, aspect and landform) or no physical data were recorded. The Sandy Desert 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.

Flora and vertebrate fauna surveys were conducted between 1991 and 2000 at selected sites across the Anangu Pitjantjatjara lands. Surveys were conducted by involving local Aboriginals (Anangu) in the surveys and record traditional knowledge about flora and fauna. 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. The Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands 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.
