SoE2020: Extent and rate of change of remnant native vegetation

The loss of remnant native vegetation in Queensland has been monitored since 1997 and reached a peak during 1999–2000 at which point 0.4% of the state’s remnant native vegetation was lost in 1 year.Remnant vegetation clearing increased by 168% in Queensland between the 2011–2013 and the 2015–2017 reporting periods, increasing from approximately 81,000ha to approximately 217,000ha.Of the 16 Broad Vegetation Groups statewide, 1 (comprising ‘Other acacia dominated open forests, woodlands and shrublands’) retains less than 60% of its pre-clearing extent as remnant native vegetation as at 2017.

自1997年起，昆士兰州便对原生残留植被（remnant native vegetation）的流失状况展开监测，该流失态势在1999—2000年达到峰值——当年该州有0.4%的原生残留植被在一年内遭到清除。在2011—2013至2015—2017的报告周期内，昆士兰州的残留植被清理量增长168%，从约8.1万公顷升至约21.7万公顷。全州范围内的16个植被大类中，有1个大类（涵盖"其他以金合欢占优的开阔森林、林地与灌丛"）截至2017年的残留原生植被面积不足其开垦前原始覆盖范围的60%。
