Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

We discuss the landscapes of Botany Bay and particularly of the historic landing place at Kurnell (lat 34˚ 00’ S, long 151˚ 13’ E) (about 16 km south of central Sydney), as described in the journals of Lieutenant James Cook and Joseph Banks on the Endeavour voyage in 1770. We list 132 plant species that were collected at Botany Bay by Banks and Daniel Solander, the first scientific collections of Australian flora. The list is based on a critical assessment of unpublished lists compiled by authors who had access to the collection of the British Museum (now Natural History Museum), together with species from material at National Herbarium of New South Wales that has not been previously available. The list includes Bidens pilosa which has been previously regarded as an introduced species. In 1770 the Europeans set foot on Aboriginal land of the Dharawal people. Since that time the landscape has been altered in response to a succession of different land-uses; farming and grazing, commemorative tree planting, parkland planting, and pleasure ground and tourist visitation.

Diminishing Importance of Elaiosomes for Acacia Seed Removal in Non‑Native Ranges
Evolutionary Ecology https://doi.org/10.1007/s10682-018-9959-y ORIGINAL PAPER Diminishing importance of elaiosomes for acacia seed removal in non‑native ranges Daniel Montesinos1 · Marta Correia1 · Sílvia Castro1 · Kristine French2 · Susana Rodríguez‑Echeverría1 Received: 20 June 2018 / Accepted: 29 September 2018 © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 Abstract Myrmecochorous plants produce seeds with lipid-rich appendages (elaiosomes) which act as a reward for seed-dispersing ants. Seed dispersal is important for exotic species, which often need to establish new mutualistic interactions in order to colonize new non-native habitats. However, little is known about the importance of elaiosomes for seed removal in many of their non-native ranges. We studied ant–seed interactions of elaiosome-bearing and elaiosome-removed seeds of the Australian trees Acacia dealbata and Acacia longifo- lia in order to assess the relative importance of elaiosomes for seed removal between their native (Australia) and non-native (Portugal) ranges. In Portugal, we also studied the co- occurring native plant species with myrmecochorous seeds, Pterospartum tridentatum and Ulex europaeus, across three contiguous levels of acacia invasion: control (i.e. no acacia), low, and high acacia tree density. Acacia seeds were successfully removed by ants in their non-native region by a diversifed assemblage of ant species, even in sites where native plants interacted with only one specialized ant species. In the invaded range, diminishing relative importance of elaiosomes was associated with changes in the ant community due to acacia invasion, and for A. dealbata, ant species richness decreased with increasing aca- cia tree density. Although seed removal was high for both acacia species, the importance of elaiosomes was proportionally lower for A.

WATTLES in OUR AREA – DO YOU KNOW the DIFFERENCE? by Ros Gibson
Number 5 June 2020 WATTLES IN OUR AREA – DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? By Ros Gibson. Photos Margaret MacDonald The genus name Acacia comes from the Greek, akakia or akazo, to sharpen. Acacia has always been known in Australia, as ‘wattle’ because the branches were often interwoven and then sealed with mud to form the walls of early colonial houses. This form of construction was known in Europe as ‘wattle and daub”, but in Australia, the name became attached to the plant. Acacias are generally woody plants with small cream to yellow flowers in soft balls or spikes. The many stamens completely hide the other floral parts. The seeds develop in pods (typical of legumes). The four wattles described here, all have phyllodes (modified leaf stems) that act as leaves, and flowers in balls. Some other species retain their feathery immature leaves. Acacia myrtifolia Myrtle Wattle This species is named for the similarity between the shape of its phyllodes and the leaves of the genus Myrtus. The short, stiff phyllodes are asymmetrical with a prominent midrib and yellow margins and the branchlets are ribbed and usually red. Flowering from late winter to spring, its strongly scented, globular bright golden yellow flower-heads are clustered amongst the foliage. The narrow, erect pods are straight. It grows as an understorey shrub in woodland areas Myrtle Wattle Acacia pycnantha Golden Wattle A small erect or spreading tree. Found in a wide variety of habitats, it is Australia’s floral emblem. The long leathery phyllodes have a prominent midrib and distinct lateral veins. Its large, profuse, dense, globular, bright gold flower heads are strongly scented and attached by short stalks to a straight flower stem.

Structural Development of Vegetation On
Audet et al. Ecological Processes 2013, 2:20 http://www.ecologicalprocesses.com/content/2/1/20 RESEARCH Open Access Structural development of vegetation on rehabilitated North Stradbroke Island: Above/belowground feedback may facilitate alternative ecological outcomes Patrick Audet*, Amanda Gravina, Vanessa Glenn, Phill McKenna, Helen Vickers, Melina Gillespie and David Mulligan Abstract Introduction: This study depicts broad-scale revegetation patterns following sand mining on North Stradbroke Island, south-eastern Queensland, Australia. Methods: Based on an ecological timeline spanning 4–20 years post-rehabilitation, the structure of these ecosystems (n = 146) was assessed by distinguishing between periods of ‘older’ (pre-1995) and ‘younger’ (post-1995) rehabilitation practices. Results: The general rehabilitation outlook appeared promising, whereby an adequate forest composition and suitable levels of native biodiversity (consisting of mixed-eucalypt communities) were achieved across the majority of rehabilitated sites over a relatively short time. Still, older sites (n = 36) appeared to deviate relative to natural analogues as indicated by their lack of under-storey heath and simplified canopy composition now characterised by mono-dominant black sheoak (Allocasuarina littoralis) reaching up to 60% of the total tree density. These changes coincided with lower soil fertility parameters (e.g., total carbon, total nitrogen, and nutrient holding capacity) leading us to believe that altered growth conditions associated with the initial mining disturbance could have facilitated an opportunistic colonisation by this species. Once established, it is suspected that the black sheoak’s above/belowground ecological behaviour (i.e., relating to its leaf-litter allelopathy and potential for soil-nitrogen fixation) further exacerbated its mono-dominant distribution by inhibiting the development of other native species.
