WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 9 years ago

Introduction: In the Norseman-Balladonia Study Area, Woodlands (15-20 m high) occurred on Calcareous Plains, Broad Valleys and Hills (Greenstone). Low Woodlands(<15 m) were the dominant vegetation type in the Study Area, particularly on Calcareous Plains, Undulating Plains and Broad Valleys. Mallees (3-6 m) were common on Calcareous Plains and Salt Lake Features, and present on Sandplain, Undulating Plains and Granite Exposures. Tall Shrublands (> 1 m) occurred on Granite Exposures, Salt Lake Features, Sandplain, Undulating Plains (Basic Granulite) and Calcareous Plains. Low Shrublands(<1 m) dominated Salt Lake Features with scattered occurrences on Calcareous Plains. Complexes were common on Granite Exposures.
