Western Australian Mulga Shrublands

The Western Australian Mulga shrublands are a large, arid region that is maintained by the World Wildlife Fund ecoregion than in the domestic Western Australia.

Description

The Western Australian Mulga shrublands are characterized by a very hot climate with very little rainfall. The region consists of the biogeographic regions Gascoyne and Murchison ( determined by the preliminary biographical division for Australia, in English Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia, abbreviated IBRA ). The region borders the Wheatbelt region (Western Australia ), a now intensively farmed region. The dominant vegetation of this region consists of mulga trees, an acacia species that is adapted to hot dry climate. In the region emus, Wammentrappen, cockatoos and honeyeaters live.

The region is largely uninhabited. However, raw materials are mined here still and still sheep are kept in this region. Both activities have an impact on the biodiversity of this region.
