Conservation of Tasmanian macrophytic wetland vegetation.

Abstract

About 200 macrophytic species, of which 31 were poorly reserved or unreserved, were recorded from 530 Tasmanian wetlands. An iterative strategy locates 6 wetlands within which 16 of these species occur, individual wetlands being suggested to provide a minimum level of reservation for the remaining species. Half of the major wetland plant communities are unreserved, and a further quarter are poorly reserved.-from Authors
