TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve, Saltbush Transects Data

Created 10/01/2026

Updated 04/03/2026

Four paired transects were set up early in the Reserve history to monitor the spread of saltbush (Atriplex spp.) into the reserve across the eastern and southern boundaries. These were read regularly for the first few years but data from them are not available digitally. The transects were reactivated in 1989 and measurements are provided for four occasions: 1989, 2003, 2008 and 2014. Species are identified as Atriplex vesicaria, A. stipitata, or if uncertain as A. sp., using the classifications of the 'Census of South Australian Plants, Algae and Fungi' (2024*).

This is version 2.0 of the Koonamore Saltbush Transect Survey data release.
