Capitalising on the Floristic Survey as a Non-Destructive Line of Evidence for Mineral Potential Modelling: A Case Study of Bauxite in South-Western Australia

Capitalising on the Floristic Survey as a Non-Destructive Line of Evidence for Mineral Potential Modelling: A Case Study of Bauxite in South-Western Australia

While geobotanists have long used plant occurrence to locate subsurface resources, none have utilised floristic surveys as evidence in models of mineral potential. Here, we combine plant species distributions with terrain metrics to produce predictive models showing the probability of bauxite presen...
