D.Gps For Ground Control In The Quindabellup And Wambellup Sub-Catchments, Buddy Wheaton

Soil conservation survey collection

This report summarises work undertaken to provide ground control for digital terrain models(DTMs) of the Quindabellup and Wambellup sub-catchments.

A Key To The Species Of Bluebushes (Maireana Species) Of The Arid Southern Shrublands Of Western Australia, H J. Pringle, R Cranfield

Resource management technical reports

This key has been produced to make identification of Maireana species (the bluebushes) easier in the arid shrublands region of Western Australia. It attempts to use everyday terms rather than technical botanical terms wherever possible and includes an illustrated diagram for ease of identification. A flow diagram - as opposed to traditional botanical keys - allows for visual tracking of steps taken in the key and hence makes it easier to backtrack if the final identified species seems incorrect.Fruit chacters alluded to at various steps in the key are also presented, and drawings of each species fruits are also included …
