Reeves Plains Biological Survey (NCSSA) 2009 Survey

This project aims to collect data on the flora and fauna of remnant vegetation sites within the area known as Reeves Plains,
north of Gawler in the Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges (AMLR) region. The project will address knowledge gaps in baseline data
on fauna that is at risk from sand mining and is being undertaken in collaboration with the South Australian Herpetology Group
Inc. The survey is to be undertaken to meet with the biological survey standards of the Department of Environment and
Heritage (DEH), and lodged with the Biological Survey of SA database to enable sharing of information between state agencies
and community groups working towards biodiversity conservation.

The vegetation and birds will be surveyed September 19-20 (2009) and other fauna before the end of the year. The Reeves Plains Biological Survey (NCSSA) 2009 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.

本项目由南澳大利亚两栖爬行动物研究协会（South Australian Herpetology Group Inc.）合作开展，旨在采集位于高勒以北的阿德莱德洛夫蒂岭（Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges, AMLR）区域内的里夫斯平原残存植被样地的动植物数据，填补采砂活动威胁下的动物基线数据知识空白。本次调查将严格遵循环境与遗产部（Department of Environment and Heritage, DEH）制定的生物调查标准，并将调查数据提交至南澳生物调查（Biological Survey of SA）数据库，以实现州级机构与致力于生物多样性保护的社区团体之间的信息共享。

该项目将于2009年9月19日至20日开展植被与鸟类调查，其余类群的动物调查将于年内完成。里夫斯平原生物调查（NCSSA）2009年调查是南澳大利亚生物调查计划的组成部分。该计划自1971年起至今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动植物生物多样性的基线名录。
