Description

This map shows the connectivity of Pisonia grandis: cay vegetation in the Great Barrier Reef and its surrounding areas: Torres Strait, Coral Sea and Great Sandy regions. The arrows indicate the strength and nature of the connection between the regions. This map is intended to identify where one region is dependent on a neighbouring region.

Additional notes: Active dispersal occurs when seed stick to bird feathers. Passive dispersal is via water.

The data for this map was developed based on expert opinion (John Olds).
