Grazing exclosures were established in 1992 to monitor the recovery of Acacia araneosa in response to goat and rabbit grazing. Main objective of survey was to monitor vegetation in Gammon Ranges National Park, with particular emphasis on regeneration and rare and threatened plants after removal of stock in 1982 but still under influence of feral and native animals. This included the survey of several sites using the Biological survey of SA methodology. Results were published by the Nature Conservation Society of South Australia. REFERENCE: C.S. Baulderstone, H.

This survey samples the range of accessible vegetation associations systematically for flora and fauna bounded within the Yellabinna Environmental Association of 7.5.2 and Illkina Environmental Association of 7.5.1. The study area comprises the field of regular parallel dunes of the Great Victorian Desert and tracts of salt lakes. Survey sites were visited between April 1984 and April 1995 using the Standard Biological Survey of South Australia methodology. 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. Visit period 7 APR 1984 - 1 APR 1995 Vegetation and vertebrate survey. Visit period 1 - 31-MAY 2002 Photopoints only.

The main aim of this survey was to collect data on the vegetation communities of the Gawler Craton Region to enable the classification & mapping of the floristic composition and structure of the vegetation groups of the area. Sites were selected to sample the range of vegetation associations and landform types occurring throughout the sudy area. The initial 2005 survey encompassed the Yellabinna Regional Reserve and part of the Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Lands. Vegetation was documented with a complete list of plant species within a 100 x 100m quadrat using Braun-Blanquet cover abundance scores. Lifeform and reproductive stage, and site physical data was also recorded. Each site was assigned a structural formation. Rapid assessment sites or veg mapping sites (VMS) will be used extensively throughout this project. 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 Gawler Craton (including adjacent Maralinga 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.

Between 1985 and 1997 the North Olary Plains was surveyed to map vegetation boundaries. It was to aimed provide a representative dataset of the florisitic communities and obtain a community classification. Extra sites were visited in this area during 1996 and 1997 for the Beverley Mining Project. Published survey report: Playfair, R. M. and Robinson, A. C. (1997).

The survey area was surveyed in two blocks. The western area was surveyed from 25th August to 5th September 2008 and the eastern area was surveyed from 12th to 25th October 2008. The western area extends from south of Yalata Road house covering the Russell 1:50 000 mapsheet (eastern half of Wahgunyah Conservation Park through to Koonibba and Charra Map sheets (approx 15km east of Ceduna). The survey extends from the coast line to approximately 20 km north of the Eyre Highway and partly adjoins the southern boundaries of Yellabinna and Yumbarra Conservation Parks. The eastern area is contiguous with the western area and extends south east through to the western limits of the Gawler Ranges (Ilkina and Toondulya mapsheets). The northern extent incudes Pureeba and part of Yumbarra Conservation Parks and the southern boundary is approximately 20km south of Smoky Bay and 30km north of Poochera. Coastal sites were largely avoided as the coastline has been previously surveyed. The main aim of this survey was to collect data on the vegetation communities of the Far Western Eyre Peninsula region to enable the classification & mapping on the floristic composition and structure of the vegetation groups of the area. Vegetation was documented with a complete list of plant species within a 50 x 50m quadrat using Braun-Blanquet cover abundance scores. Vertebrate presence was also noted. The Far West Eyre Peninsula 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 Nullarbor survey sampled the range of vegetation associations systematically for flora and fauna using Standard Biological Survey of South Australia. In the early stages of rangeland condition monitoring in South Australia a number of photopoints were established in various places. Throughout 1956 and 1973 sites that were chosen and sampled focussed on particular plant communities or plant species. PP154 was established on Koonalda Pastoral Lease, in vegetation suited to pastoral production. Since the site was installed, the land has been declared National Park. This site is one where long term trends in vegetation change may be evaluated. Throughout 1972 and 2001 vegetation, mammals and reptiles were surveyed using Standard Biological Survey of SA methods. In 2002, Vegetation mapping of the area occurred.

A biological survey of the Gawler Ranges was undertaken in 1985 as described in the report: Robinson, A. C., Casperson, K. D., Canty, P. D. and Macdonald, C. A. (1988). A biological survey of the Gawler Ranges, South Australia in October 1985. South Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service and South Australian Museum, Adelaide. Further work was undertaken as follows: Part 1 of this project involved a biodiversity survey and traditional ecological knowledge recording exercise in the Gawler Ranges National Park. A 10 day biological survey was undertaken revisiting 6 quadrat locations surveyed by Robinson et al. (1988) and 3 quadrats surveyed as part of the Eyre peninsula Biological Survey in 2001. In addition a further 9 quadrats established on the Gawler Ranges National Park in 1985 and 2001 were re-located and the standard photopoints were re-taken. The project also engaged members of the Gawler Ranges Native Title Group (including 10 elders/youth, 2 Working on Country rangers and the Project Coordinator), western scientists (3-4 experts) and South. Australian Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and SANTS technical/support staff. They worked together to record ecological and cultural data and the value and uses of the plants and animals in the Gawler Ranges National Park. Indigenous participants were trained in biological survey techniques and the shareing and recording of cultural knowledge of plants and animals. The survey targeted 3-4 separate ecosystems and was undertaken from 27 September/3 October 2010 and involved a field team of some 20 people. The ornithologist returned to the park from 4-6October and recorded extra opportunistic bird records.
