THE BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE EASTERN GOLDFIELDS OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA: Vegetation and Flora

WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 9 years ago

Introduction: The vegetation of the Boorabbin-Southern Cross Study Area was described from plotless sample sites, as specified by the Biological Surveys Committee of Western Australia (1984). Forty-two vegetation sites were chosen to represent the 6 landform units that occur in the Study Area (Figure 2). On the basis of structure and species composition of the upper stratum, the sites are broadly classified into vegetation-types. One of these types (Granite) was referred to as a vegetation complex, because attributes such as structure and species composition changed markedly over distances of a few metres.
