Eastern Mt Lofty Ranges (Nature Conservation Society) Survey

Survey was conducted in order to gain data on the presence and abundance of the flora and fauna of the grasslands and grassy woodlands of the Eastern Hills. Grazed sites were also included in the survey. The survey aimed to find what biota persists under this dominant land use, and sites with both sheep grazing and cattle grazing were included. The information collected will be used to work with landholders and agencies to manage the significant biodiversity associated with survey sites and the Eastern Hills area in general. The Eastern Mt Lofty Ranges (Nature Conservation Society) 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.

本调查旨在获取东部丘陵草原与草生林地的动植物分布与种群丰度数据，同时纳入放牧样地作为研究对象。本次调查旨在探明该主导土地利用模式下仍存续的生物类群，调查涵盖绵羊放牧与肉牛放牧两类样地。所收集的信息将用于协同土地所有者及相关管理机构，开展调查样地及整个东部丘陵区域内重要生物多样性的保护与管理工作。东洛夫蒂山脉（自然保护协会）调查是南澳大利亚州生物调查计划的组成部分；该计划自1971年起在全州范围内开展系列系统性调查，其总体目标是建立南澳大利亚州动植物生物多样性的本底名录。
