Mt. Cone Baseline Survey Survey, Biological Survey of South Australia - Vegetation Survey, Biological Database of South Australia

In 1999 to 2000 a baseline inventory of 455 hectares of remnant native grassland and vertebrate and invertebrate fauna, in the Mid North, was created. Survey was conducted using the Biological Survey of South Australia method. In 2001 an ongoing project was started to determine if native grasses would spread or if introduced species such as Wild Oat (*Avena barbata) would eventually smother native species. A total of 36 vegetation quadrats were permanently set up to record changes in plant species cover and abundance over many years. The Mt. Cone Baseline Survey 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.
