Ecosystems/habitat

Use initial capitals for the names of official lists and systems that provide standardised references and terminology for different aspects of biodiversity:

National Vegetation Information System (NVIS)     Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA)     National Reserve System (NRS)     Protected Areas     Specially Protected Areas     Weeds of National Significance (WoNS)

Use lower case for terms that are not formal names:

major vegetation groups (MVGs)

Reminder. Initial capitals are used only for formal names. Informal and collective (plural) references to the same item do not need capitals.
