Biology:Mulga-eucalypt line
From HandWiki
The mulga-eucalypt line, or mulga-eucalypt boundary line, marks a boundary between Acacia-dominated shrublands and Eucalyptus-dominated open woodlands across Western Australia. It runs across the north of the Eastern Goldfields,[1] and through the northeastern segment of Charles Darwin Reserve, from Seven Mile Well to Christmas Bore.[2] Its course runs along the isohyet marking 250 mm (10 in) annual rainfall.[2]
Ferdinand von Mueller predicted its existence in 1883, and it was subsequently mapped by explorers and botanists Woodward, Diels, Clarke, Gardner, Burbidge and Beard.[2]
