South East Survey

This project was to survey native forest areas in the South East of South Australia between 1991 and 1999, collecting data appropriate for calculating crown separation ratios and projective foliage cover. The selection of sites was broadened out to cover all native vegetation communities that occurred in areas that could be surveyed given accessible/appropriate climatic (not too wet) and terrain conditions. The South East 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.
