Planchonella Nature Reserves Vegetation. VIS_ID 3970

The vegetation of Planchonella Nature Reserves is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Five communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These five communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Much of the reserve is dominated by the Eucalyptus albens (White Box), Casuarina cristata (Belah) assemblages. Much of the reserve has been disturbed in the past, particularly by clearing for both cropping and grazing. One of the Five communities are listed as endangered ecological communities and the remaining four of conservation significance, being underrepresented communities within the reserve network. Most communities are generally of a woodland structure or as closed scrubs, grasslands and shrublands. A total of 210 vascular plant taxa were found from 56 families and 142 genera. Only two species are considered of regional significance and one of these is listed on the TSC Act as endangered (Digitaria porrecta). VIS_ID 3970.

本数据集对普兰查内拉自然保护区（Planchonella Nature Reserves）的植被开展了系统描述与成图工作，成图比例尺为1:50000。基于库尔钦斯基关联分类法（Kulczynski association），本次研究划定了5个植被群落。上述5个群落均通过野外实地核查、航空像片解译以及地形地貌分析完成成图。保护区大部分区域以白盒桉（Eucalyptus albens，俗称White Box）与比利桤木（Casuarina cristata，俗称Belah）组成的群落组合为优势植被。该保护区多数区域在历史上曾遭受人为干扰，尤以开垦种植与放牧活动造成的破坏最为显著。5个植被群落中，1个被列为濒危生态群落，剩余4个具备保护价值，属于保护区网络中代表性不足的群落类型。多数群落整体呈现林地结构，或为密闭灌丛、草原与灌草丛。本次调查共记录到56科、142属共计210种维管植物类群。其中仅2个物种具备区域保护意义，1个物种还被列入TSC Act濒危物种名录，即直立马唐（Digitaria porrecta）。数据集标识编号为VIS_ID 3970。
