Description 46 pages : color illustrations, color maps ; 30 cm Series Biodiversity series ; paper no. 6 Contents 1. Introduction -- 2. Contribution of native vegetation clearance to biodiversity decline -- 3. Impact of native vegetation clearance on ecological processes -- 4. Constraints to an analysis of recent native vegetation clearance -- 5. Summary of recent native vegetation clearance -- 6. Summary of recent native vegetation clearance by State/Territory -- 7. Conclusion Summary Presents an overview of recent native vegetation clearance in Australia both nationally and by State and Territory. Australia has a relatively high rate of native vegetation clearance. The data set out in this paper demonstrates that at a national level it is currently not possible to measure with any definable accuracy the present or recent rate of native vegetation clearance. The rate and scale of recent clearance has significant implications fo Australia's biodiversity Analysis Biological diversity--australia Clearing of land--environmental aspects--australia Conservation of natural resources--australia Environmental impact assessment Federal issue Habitat (Ecology)--modification--australia Habitats Interstate comparisons Land degradation Land development Plant conservation State issue Vegetation Notes At foot of title: Biodiversity Unit Bibliography Bibliography: pages 40-45 Notes Also available electronically via the WWW Commonwealth of Australia 1995 Issuing Body Prepared by Andreas Glanznig Notes Biodiversity series no:paper.6 Subject Biodiversity -- Australia.
