摘要: Abstract Vegetation condition assessment has recently become a major priority for Australian agencies and organisations responsible integrated natural resource management. However, despite widespread acknowledgement of the importance vegetation condition, there is little agreement as to how assessments should be conducted. This paper documents process results generated by initial phases study designed develop repeatable defensible approach site-based within context species-level biodiversity conservation. The uses indicator data quantify capacity existing areas provide habitat resources indigenous plants animals. makes use Delphi structuring an e-mail-based group communication dedicated identification potential indicators condition. Through iterative involving 47 experts, identified 62 were equally representative compositional (21), structural (20), functional (21) attributes [Conserv. Biol. 4 (1990) 355]. reported here will, in later stages study, prioritised feasibility resultant sub-set will then incorporated into assessment. may assist other Government or groups tackling specific task assessment, more generally, planning expert panels management applications.
