	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Southwest Australia woodlands (AA1210)
		In regions with Mesozoic sediments, jarrah forests are intermixed with species-rich shrublands (Thackway and Cresswell 1995).

		Specialist zoologists and botanists from the Western Australian Museum, South Australian Museum, and Western Australian Department of Conservation and Land Management, and AWC staff, spent two weeks documenting the biodiversity of Mt Gibson.
		Many of these are now either regionally extinct or threatened with extinction, in particular the medium-sized ground dwelling mammals.
		The sub-fossil material indicated a predominantly southwest fauna, underscoring the biological value of the habitat retained on Mt Gibson sanctuary given the immense clearing undertaken in the adjacent southwest ‘wheatbelt’ region.

		In addition, a database created from a species-level biological study of the wheatbelt region of Western Australia was utilised, and previously published records of occurrence for species within the south-west were compiled.
		Two parameters known to be affected by human disturbance in the south-west, conductivity and nutrient concentrations, were found to be important in determining the occurrence of many species and this could have important consequences for aquatic insect conservation.
		Widespread species occurring within the low rainfall region of the south-west did not show as many significant relationships to measured environmental parameters, possibly due to their greater ecological tolerances and adaptations which allow them to persist in a low rainfall environment.

		Shallow salt lakes occur naturally in arid and semi-arid regions of inland Australia as a result of high evaporation rates and atmospheric accession of oceanic salts.
		Nearly all Western Australian wheatbelt rivers and lakes have been affected by secondary salinisation.
		Permanent inundation over a prolonged time period has resulted in the death of once extensive thickets of littoral or riparian trees and previously diverse freshwater plant and animal communities have been replaced by a smaller suite of salt tolerant forms.
