Rio Tinto Iron Ore Greater Paraburdoo – Detailed Flora and Vegetation Survey, April 2018
1 Floristic Analysis
1.1 Sampling Effort
Sampling effort was assessed using a species accumulation curve and modelled estimates of the total species pool. Species accumulation curves are created by randomly sampling an incremental number of samples, and plotting the mean number of species sampled at each sample size. Species estimators are particular statistical models of species accumulation which are employed to estimate the total species pool available. Four different species estimators were compared: Chao 2, Jackknife 1, Jacknife 2, and Bootstrap (Colwell and Coddington 1994). All analysis was performed in R 3.2.1 (R Development Core Team 2015) using the package ‘Vegan’.
1.2 Vegetation Classification
Similarity amongst vegetation quadrats was assessed using a dendrogram which was based on Sorensen’s index of Similarity (equivalent to Bray-Curtis similarity when applied to presence-absence data). The dendrogram was constructed using the UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean) method (or ‘group average’ method), within Primer. Significant clusters of samples were identified using the Simprof test (Clarke, Somerfield, and Gorley 2008). In order to understand the current survey in regional context, a separate analysis was carried out to include all quadrats from six previous surveys in the locality (ecologia Environment 2011; Biota Environmental Sciences 2012b, 2012a; Rio Tinto Iron Ore 2014; GHD Pty Ltd 2009; Mattiske Consulting 2011).
1.3 Floristic Community Groups
1.3.1 Sampling Effort
A total of 269 species from the Astron surveys were included in the floristic analysis. Quadrat and relevé data from the Phase 1 and Phase 2 surveys were included (opportunistic records were excluded) and names not confirmed to species level and hybrids were removed from the analysis. The species accumulation curve indicates that the total number of species has reached an asymptote, and that sampling has been near-exhaustive (Figure K.1). This is highlighted by the fact that the final 10% increase in sampling effort only led to a 3% increase in species sampled.
The species estimators suggest that there were between 302and 383 species available in the pool at the time of the surveys. This suggests that between 70% and 89% of the total species pool has been sampled from quadrats and relevés (Table K.1). Including opportunistic observations, 275 confirmed species were recorded within the survey area, indicating that between 72% and 91% of the potential total species pool available at the time of the surveys was recorded.

1.3.2 Vegetation Classification
Dendrogram production combined with the Simprof statistical test for the current survey led to the identification of 23 distinct floristic clusters (Figure K.2). Of these clusters, six were formed by individual samples: GP11, GP23, GP34, GP45, GPR25 and WRA21. Clusters generally showed some pattern of grouping according to the structural vegetation units described within the survey area and related to similar landforms.
Analysis of the presence/absence of perennial native taxa within a broader regional dataset included sites from Biota Environmental Sciences (2012b, 2012a), ecologia Environment (2011), GHD (2009), Mattiske (2011) and Rio Tinto (2014) and led to the identification of 109 significant clusters (Figure K.3 to Figure K.9). Twenty-six of these clusters were made up of individual quadrats/relevés from the current survey; these sites had been assigned to 17 structural vegetation units described within the survey area (Table K.2).
