Abstract

White surveys the major vegetation types of Australia: the domination of Eucalyptus and Acacia; the mulga, mallee, and spinifex of the arid lands; tussock grasslands and open shrublands; the high-rainfall areas of the north; open forests and woodlands; remnant Gondwanan rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests; and coastal heathlands. She also analyses some of the key factors influencing the landscape and vegetation: the flood and drought cycles of El Nino/ENSO, changing fire regimes, salt and salination, and feral animals.
