    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 1988 and 1989 an expedition was conducted on the islands of the eastern Recherche Archipelago; they included Middle, Goose, Bellinger and Daw islands. The expedition was conducted to collect species lists of vascular plants and vertebrates from as many islands as possible. The Recherche Archipelago 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.

    To investigate the effect of rising groundwater and salinity on the health of low-lying vegetatin in the Bunbury-Taunta area, 14 vegetation survey sites were conducted in 1992.Survey site methodology was the Biological Survey of SA, with quadrats generally being 30 x 30 m but some were 5 x 50 m. The study's objectives were to map and describe the different health classes and extent of vegetation degradation, describe the process and timing of vegetation decline, and predict future decline in vegetation health. At each site, species presence and abundance data was collected, samples of soil, groundwater and surface water were collected for salinity readings and a general description of the area was made. Photopoints were also established. The data was then analysed subjectively to determine the typical characteristics for each health class. The report resulting from the study is: Webb, L (1993), An investigation into the environmental effects of rising groundwater and salinity on native vegetation in the Bunbury-Taunata area (including the proposed Lesron Conservation Park) in the Upper South East of South Australia. The SALINITY IMPACTS UPPER SOUTH EAST 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.

    Surveyed in August/September 2006, 7 sites within 2 parcels of land in order to increase the knowledge of vegetation at Buckland Park (via entry to the Biological Survey of SA) and to contribute to the refinement of vegetation community mapping in the area. A complete list of plant species per 30m x 30m quadrat was obtained using braun/Blanquet cover abundance scores. The Buckland Park Environs 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 assessed the vegetation surrounding & within the main saline plain at Thidna Reserve. It aimed to obtain a picture of the ecological health of remnant native vegetation and the current impacts upon. Sites were selected to provide a holistic representation of the reserve, especially surrounding the saline plain. Each quadrat was chosen to represent a different plant association. The Thidna (York Peninsula) saline Vegetation 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.
