Focusing on the Landscape - BushBlitz

We determined three categories of information for each species: 1) how many site records
fell within reserves; 2) in how many different reserves each species was recorded; and 3) in
how many reserves greater than 1000 ha each species was recorded. We also attempted to
categorise their broad relative location within Australia and the types of habitats in which
they occur, providing an opportunity to look for patterns amongst the better and less
protected species. The break up of these categories is presented in Tables 3, 4 and 5. In
many instances, some or all of this information was not found for a given species, at least in
any simple form, and the categories could not be filled in. However, there was data available
for many species and this came from a wide range of sources, which are fully listed in the
reference section at the end of this document. However, the main sources of information for
these 50 vascular plant families were:
