Assessing Native Vegetation Condition using the Bushland Condition Monitoring Method and South Australian Biodiversity
نویسنده
چکیده
The Nature Conservation Society of South Australia (NCSSA) Bushland Condition Monitoring Program and the South Australian Biodiversity Assessment Tool (SABAT) address this shortcoming, and provide an innovative approach to building community capacity in vegetation management. The program allows conservation volunteers, landholders and extension professionals to conduct an effective evaluation of the outcomes of on-ground activities on the condition of remnant vegetation.

Introduction: One of the ways of restoration and reclamation of damaged rangeland is to use different methods of rain harvesting such as pitting, counter furrowing, flood spreading, small arc basins system and etc., along with the reduction of runoff, it increases the soil moisture content and thus increases vegetation cover. Biodiversity is most commonly used to describe the number of species....
