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）的植被开展了系统性描述，并按1:50000比例尺完成植被制图。基于库尔钦斯基（Kulczynski）关联分类法，研究界定了5个植被群落。上述5个群落均通过野外实地验证、航空相片解译及地形地貌特征完成制图。保护区绝大多数区域以白箱桉（Eucalyptus albens，别名White Box）与贝拉木麻黄（Casuarina cristata，别名Belah）组成的群落为优势植被。保护区内多数区域曾遭受人为干扰，尤以耕地开垦与放牧活动造成的破坏最为突出。5个群落中，1个被列为濒危生态群落，其余4个均具备保护价值，属于保护区网络中代表性不足的群落。多数群落整体呈现林地结构，或为密闭灌丛、草原与灌草丛。本次调查共记录到隶属于56科142属的210种维管植物类群。其中仅2个物种具有区域保护价值，1个物种（Digitaria porrecta）已被纳入《TSC法案》的濒危物种名录。本数据集VIS_ID为3970。
