Far West Eyre Peninsula Survey, Biological Survey of South Australia - Vegetation Survey, Biological Database of South Australia

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.

本次调查区域分为两个调查区块开展工作。西区调查时段为2008年8月25日至9月5日，东区调查时段为2008年10月12日至25日。
西区范围起于雅拉塔道屋（Yalata Road house）以南，覆盖罗素1:5万比例尺地图幅（瓦根亚保护区（Wahgunyah Conservation Park）东半部），延伸至库尼巴（Koonibba）与查拉（Charra）地图幅（塞杜纳以东约15公里区域）。本次调查区域自海岸线向北延伸至艾尔高速公路（Eyre Highway）以北约20公里处，部分地段毗邻耶拉比纳（Yellabinna）与尤姆巴拉保护区（Yumbarra Conservation Parks）的南部边界。
东区与西区接壤相连，向东南延伸至高勒山脉（Gawler Ranges）西界（伊尔基纳（Ilkina）和图恩杜利亚（Toondulya）地图幅）。其北部范围涵盖普里巴（Pureeba）及部分尤姆巴拉保护区，南部边界大致位于斯莫基湾（Smoky Bay）以南20公里、普奇拉（Poochera）以北30公里处。
鉴于海岸线区域此前已完成相关调查，本次调查基本避开了沿海样地。本次调查的核心目标为采集艾尔半岛远西部区域的植被群落数据，以支撑该区域植被类群的区系组成与结构分类及制图工作。调查采用Braun-Blanquet盖度-多度评分法（Braun-Blanquet cover abundance scores），在50×50米样方（quadrat）内完整记录所有植物物种名录，同时记录区域内脊椎动物的出现情况。
艾尔半岛远西部调查是南澳大利亚州生物调查计划（Biological Survey of South Australia Program）的组成部分，该计划自1971年起在全州范围内开展系列系统性调查，总体目标为建立南澳大利亚州动植物生物多样性的基础名录库。
