Assessment of the remaining area of a vegetation community compared to its pre-European extent is a crucial step in Environmental Impact Assessment.
Seasonality is important for vegetation surveys. In the South-west botanical province, surveys are frequently timed to coincide with the flowering season of important local orchid populations.

Flora and Vegetation Assessment
Flora and vegetation surveys are undertaken for a variety of purposes, including vegetation mapping, monitoring of vegetation health or growth, for research projects and to assess the impact associated with project environmental approvals such as clearing permits or Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC) referrals.
