Abstract

Woody plant populations have been monitored on a 16 km vegetation transect in south-west Queensland's mulga (Acacia aneura) lands since 1965. Data from a subset of 9 km have been subjected to numerical classification which defines vegetation groups for transition matrix simulation of future changes in tree and shrub density. Records from 5 km of the transect not included in the initial analyses were used to test the reliability of the predictions, after superimposing the original classifications on the latter data set. Predicted changes in species populations are in agreement with documented trends for similar vegetation types in this environment.
