The ‘needlegrasses’ are char- acterized by having single-flowered spikelets and stout, terminally-awned lem- mas. We conducted a molecular phylogenetic study of the Stipeae (including all genera except Anemanthele) using a total of 94 species (nine species were used as outgroups) based on five plastid DNA regions (trnK-5’matK, matK, trnHGUG-psbA, trnL5’-trnF, and ndhF) and a single nuclear DNA region (ITS).

  • For the Poplar Box Grassy Woodland on Alluvial Plains
    Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) (s266B) Conservation Advice (including listing advice) for the Poplar Box Grassy Woodland on Alluvial Plains 1 The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) was established under the EPBC Act to give advice to the Minister for the Environment (the Minister) in relation to the listing and conservation of threatened ecological communities, including under sections 189, 194N and 266B of the EPBC Act. 2. The Committee provided its advice on the Poplar Box Grassy Woodland on Alluvial Plains ecological community to the Minister as a draft of this conservation advice in April 2017, an updated version in April 2018 and also in June 2019. The Committee recommended that: o the ecological community merits listing as endangered under the EPBC Act; and o a recovery plan is not required for the ecological community at this time. 3. A draft conservation advice for this ecological community was made available for expert and public comment for a minimum of 30 business days. The Committee and Minister had regard to all public and expert comment that was relevant to the consideration of the ecological community. 4. In 2019, the Minister accepted the Committee’s advice, adopted this document as the approved conservation advice and agreed no recovery plan is required at this time. The Minister amended the list of threatened ecological communities under section 184 of the EPBC Act to include the Poplar Box Grassy Woodland on Alluvial Plains ecological community in the endangered category. 5. At the time of this advice, components of this ecological community were also listed under the Queensland Vegetation Management Act 1999.

Samantha Clarke 20 June 2004 ABSTRACT Temperate grassy woodlands throughout the world have suffered the effects of changed disturbance regimes, in particular, fire and grazing, due to human activities. Since European settlement fire and tree clearing has been used to modify grassy woodland vegetation for livestock grazing and agriculture. As a consequence some species, particularly shrubs and trees, have been reduced or eliminated and both native and introduced grasses have become more dominant.

  • Inquiry Into Management of Public Land in New South Wales
    Supplementary Submission No 23a INQUIRY INTO MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC LAND IN NEW SOUTH WALES Name: Mr David Joss Date received: 26/07/2012 MATHOURA HISTORICAL INFORMATION SHEET Prepared by the Mathoura Visitor and Business Centre The Cadell Fault At some time in the last 60,000 years a comparatively minor bump in the earth's crust had a N major effect on the Murray River and a couple of associated streams. It is claimed to be one of the world's most spectacular E N I L examples of seismic activity T L altering the course of a river. U A F Scientists are still working to L L E explain exactly what happened, D A and when, but recent research C suggests that several large NORTHERN earthquakes pushed up the land LAKE between where Echuca-Moama and Deniliquin now stand and dammed what was then a very mighty Murray. Until about 45,000 years ago the Murray flowed westward through the area where Mathoura now stands. It is thought by some scientists that the uplifting of what we call the Cadell Tilt had begun perhaps 20,000 years before this Map showing position of Cadell Fault (broken grey line) and ancient but when the large block was stream beds together with Lake Kanyapella and the northern lake. (After Bowler and Harford, 1966 and Stone T. 2007) suddenly thrust up the river had nowhere to go. The weir held back both the Murray and the Goulburn rivers, initially flooding two huge areas. Eventually the Murray turned north, most of its water flowing through what we now call the Edward while still filling the northern lake.
