The Biological Databases of South Australia (BDBSA)is comprised of an integrated collection of corporate databases which meet Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) standards for data quality, integrity and maintenance. BDBSA was initially established to hold the data collected by the Biological Survey of South Australia but has evolved into a central access point for all biological data within South Australia. The fauna data for this collection has been downloaded from the Atlas of Living Australia(https://collections.ala.org.au/public/show/dr365) as a Darwin Core archive. The taxa have been matched to the World Register of Marine Species (http://www.marinespecies.org) and non-marine taxa excluded. The taxonomy is 'as supplied'. If any errors have been identified, please contact the Bio Data support email address DEWBioDataSupport@sa.gov.au

The Biological Databases of South Australia (BDBSA) is South Australia's flora and fauna database that stores and manages specimen and observation records. This metadata record is the Flora Survey component that contains 1,050,631 plant measurements collected from 224,572 sites, across 5565 plant species since 1976. The dataset contains important vegetation structural attributes, with parameters such as crown openness, crown depth and crown separation ratio, including observations on plant occurrence data and fire disturbance related parameters. The resulting database provides a comprehensive record of biodiversity across sites visited during a diverse range of biodiversity projects undertaken in South Australia and provides a basis for future monitoring or other relevant work such as species modelling. Only validated BDBSA data is made publicly available and all records of sensitive taxa have been masked from the dataset. Data is accessible from the TERN EcoPlots, which provides the ability to extract subsets of flora data across multiple data collections and bioregions.

The fauna data set contains the spatial locations of fauna species observation data maintained by Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) in the Biological Databases of South Australia.

This dataset contains records of vascular plant species from the Biological Survey of South Australia. Preparation from raw data obtained via AEKOS involved the selection of data fields, the removal of intraspecific taxa (only genus and species used to define individual taxa) and removal of duplicate records and those not determined to species.

The project systematically surveys the extent and condition of remnant native vegetation on railway corridors / roadsides . A standard drive-by survey methodology is used to record dominant species (overstorey, understorey, emergent, threatened and alien species), structural type, density/distribution and understorey vegetation type in roadside vegetation. Mapping outputs are used to inform roadside vegetation management by Local and State Governments.

A survey conducted in 1992 to classify and map the floristic composition and structure of vegetation groups of the area and to identify the remaining forest (fitting the structural definition of forest) for the National Forest Inventory. The study covered areas from the Southern Flinders to the lower Midnorth of South Australia. The Mid-North Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

Between 1991 and 1995 surveys were carried out to classify the temperate grassland communities in South Australia (excluding the South East), and assess their conservation status.

In 2000 this survey was aimed to collect data on the vegetation associations of Cow Island, which is suitable for use in the revegetation of Hack Point. The Cow Island (University of South Australia) Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.
