Biological Survey of the Ravensthorpe Range (Phase 1)

Under the Biodiversity Conservation Initiative of the Science Division of the Department of Parks and Wildlife, Western Australia, Western Australia funding was provided for a floristic survey of the Ravensthorpe Range. Phase 1 of this survey involved the establishment of 200 permanent quadrats covering the geomorphologic, geologic and floristic variation across the range. The data resulting from Phase 1 of the the survey is intended to more fully document the conservation values of the range and provide a regional context to assess any proposed developments. Phase 1 of this survey was undertaken by the consulting firm Western Botanical (http://www.westernbotanical.com.au/). Phase 2 of this survey involved the establishment of a further 66 permanent quadrats and a detailed analysis of the compositional vegetation patterns across the range based on all 266 quadrats. Phase 2 field observation and analysis was undertaked by DPaW Science Division staff. Phase 2 of the Ravensthorpe Range Survey is not currently published in TERN AEKOS.

在西澳大利亚州公园与野生动物部科学分部的生物多样性保护倡议框架下，西澳大利亚州为雷文斯索普山脉（Ravensthorpe Range）的植物区系调查提供了资金支持。本次调查第一阶段设立了200个永久样方（quadrats），覆盖该山脉范围内的地貌、地质与植物区系变异特征。第一阶段调查所获数据旨在全面记录该山脉的保护价值，并为评估各类拟议开发项目提供区域背景依据。本次调查第一阶段由咨询机构Western Botanical（网址：http://www.westernbotanical.com.au/）承接完成。调查第二阶段新增设立66个永久样方，并基于全部266个永久样方对该山脉的植被组成格局开展详细分析。第二阶段的野外观测与分析由DPaW科学分部工作人员完成。雷文斯索普山脉调查第二阶段的数据目前尚未在TERN AEKOS平台发布。
