Vegetation of Careunga Nature Reserves, 2006. VIS_ID 4022

The vegetation of Careunga Nature Reserves is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Four communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These four communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Almost all of the reserve is dominated by the Casuarina cristata (Belah) assemblage, in most instances in a good quality state though some sections have been highly disturbed in the past and of regrowth or cleared and yet to recover, these systems though not listed as threatened should be considered to be ‘of concern’ and poorly conserved across their geographic range. The other three described vegetation units are all listed as endangered within the Brigalow Belt South Bioregion. A total of 107 vascular plant taxa were found from 39 families and 87 genera.

本数据集对卡伦加自然保护区（Careunga Nature Reserves）的植被开展了系统性描述，并完成了比例尺为1:50000的植被制图。基于库尔钦斯基群丛分类法（Kulczynski association）完成分类，共划定4个植被群丛；上述4个群丛通过地面验证、航空像片解译及地形地貌特征完成成图。保护区几乎全境以贝拉木麻黄（Casuarina cristata，俗称Belah）群丛为优势群落，多数区域植被质量优良，但部分区域曾遭受严重人为干扰，目前处于次生恢复阶段或因被开垦尚未完成自然恢复。尽管此类植被系统未被列入受威胁群落名录，但在其地理分布范围内保护现状不佳，应被视为“需关注”对象。其余3个已划定的植被单元在布里加洛带南部生物区（Brigalow Belt South Bioregion）内均被列为濒危植被。本次调查共记录到39科、87属共计107个维管植物类群。VIS_ID 4022
