Analysis of the WARMS monitoring data has been carried out to determine trends in vegetation condition across the Western Australian southern shrublands. Results suggest that a small number of monitoring sites (7.0%) have changed over time, with both improvements and declines in the vegetation being noted. Although a majority of these changes appear to be related to changes in seasonal conditions, management factors are likely to be important influences at some sites. Direct gradient analysis will be used to explore these relationships.
