A Bibliography for the World Heritage Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia

Incorporating information assessment and development of a research strategy

Terry Reis

Foreword

This bibliography is the necessary first step in the development of a research strategy for the World Heritage Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia (CERRA). This World Heritage property, situated between Newcastle and Brisbane, contains the major stands of rainforest in subtropical Australia. World Heritage listing has recognised its globally significant natural values. It is also an important global resource for research and science. The project to create this bibliography was initiated on the recommendation of the inaugural CERRA Technical and Scientific Advisory Committee, who also lobbied for funding from the Australian Government and support from the State management agencies. The results of Terry Reis’ mammoth work will be an indispensable tool for the next CERRA Technical and Scientific Advisory Committee, to develop a research strategy for CERRA. It should also prove useful to researchers, exploring this fascinating part of the world. It is hoped that the bibliography will be completed and updated into the future.

Acknowledgments

Terry Reis compiled the bibliography and prepared this report while based at the Australian School of Environmental Studies at Griffith University (Nathan, Brisbane). Griffith University provided office accommodation, supervision and other support for the project. The librarians and other staff of the NSW Department of Environment and Conservation, Forests NSW (part of the Department of Primary Industries) and the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency made this project possible, with their assistance in searching for relevant documents. Many faculty and department staff at both the University of New England and Southern Cross University were also of great help. The following individuals are particularly thanked for their generous assistance:  Janet Cavanaugh, Steve Elkin, John Hunter, Christine Lehmann and Piers Thomas, all of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service;  Harry Hines of the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service;  Bill McDonald of the Queensland Herbarium;  Rod Kavanagh of Forests NSW; and  Lachlan Copeland of the University of New England.

5. Conclusions

In terms of broad categories of research the five of these are cultural and all are three fields that are poorly represented concerned with non-indigenous culture. within this bibliography are: Indeed only one specifically Indigenous  Genetics; culture document was accessed in regards to the Queensland section of CERRA, although  Earth sciences; and there is some mention within park  Culture, both Indigenous and non- management documents. While there are at indigenous. least two other documents of likely relevance held by the Environmental These disciplines each account for no more Protection Agency in Brisbane (available for than three percent of the documents included examination with permission), Indigenous in the bibliography. This paucity of genetics cultural heritage appears to be extremely and earth sciences research may, however, poorly documented in the Queensland parts reflect differences in how study locations are of CERRA. The situation in NSW is slightly reported within these fields of research. better, with all major CERRA parks having Searches of electronic databases were based at least one Indigenous culture document but on property names and certain taxa highly obviously more research needs to be relevant to the CERRA region such as rufous conducted.

Not all and Barrington Tops National Parks, the genetic studies are particularly concerned quantity of non-indigenous culture with location and the earth sciences often documentation is also scant. work on scales of such magnitude as to preclude the mention of specific locations. Certain taxa are also under-represented in the bibliography. For reptiles, and for fish in Time constraints meant that a search of the particular, this reflects a comparatively library of Natural Resources and Mines at depauperate fauna in rainforest habitats Mineral House in Brisbane was not included within the CERRA region. Nonetheless, fish in this project. It is possible therefore that a warrant some future research in the lower considerable body of work on the earth altitude streams within CERRA. Given that sciences in regards to CERRA remains to be aquatic macroinvertebrates, including accessed and that conclusions on the crustaceans, also suffer from a lack of study, quantity of research conducted in the earth despite the fact that this group is quite sciences need to be guarded. The diverse and displays high levels of significance of documenting research in this endemism, lack of fish diversity cannot be field, compared to (for example) considered the only justification for the documenting additional ecological studies in limited research in aquatic habitats. Reptiles regards to CERRA, also warrants some are an admittedly difficult group to study but contemplation. some regional endemism would appear to Unlike the earth sciences, cultural research is demand further attention for this group. It is very location-based and, notwithstanding important, however, to be aware of some some protective secrecy concerning location research conducted on adjacent properties, details, the lack of a substantive body of e.g., Fitzgerald et al.

Although For non-vascular plants, fungi and algae Lamington National Park, for example, insufficient research is more likely a features in more than 300 documents only 15

This makes future research within the CERRA properties. difficult but no less important. Table 12 indicates that a number of other As already acknowledged, the amount of very important processes have also gained research conducted within a particular park very little attention within CERRA or reserve appears to reflect proximity to properties.

What work that has unlikely that universities will significantly been done on seed dispersal has focused alter their study locations, especially in almost entirely on pigeons (see Date et al. regards to undergraduate or postgraduate 1996 and associated publications). The students.

A fauna survey was conducted Park (see McFarland 1986a, b and associated on Burnett Creek State Forest and Rabbit publications).

Such documents, despite their limitations, still provide valuable information about CERRA’s values and may influence future research through the identification of the presence of conservation significant taxa. Other minor CERRA reserves are included in this bibliography courtesy solely of those documents which consider CERRA parks and reserves on a large scale (e.g., Hunter 2003). It is important that at least some baseline flora and fauna data be collected within all parks and reserves so far neglected. Invertebrates appear reasonably well studied especially considering the number of relevant journal articles that failed to be included in the bibliography. However, the majority of the research is taxonomic description or revision. Invertebrate-plant interactions are especially poorly studied, although Lowman has produced a number of publications on insect herbivory (e.g., Lowman 1991; 1992a, b).

Through contacting appropriate staff in government agencies, as well as university faculties and departments, a CERRA-wide registry of researchers and their on-going work could be compiled. This would facilitate greater coordination of research and increase the likelihood of future documents being placed in the proposed library. Furthermore it would identify ‘permanent plot’ study sites, a process that proved beyond the scope of this project.

As acknowledged, many relevant documents are known to exist which, for a variety of reasons, were not accessed. Knowledge of these documents was typically gained by citations in other very CERRA specific publications or reports (e.g. Adam 1987, Williams 2002, Hunter 2003), from plans of management, or from publication lists of specific researchers. To fully complete the bibliography of CERRA documents it is necessary to: (a) identify as yet unseen documents through further perusal of reference lists; (b) locate more unpublished reports and other documents held in those offices of QPWS and NPWS not visited as part of this project; (c) comprehensively work through non- databased journals that have a high likelihood of relevant articles, especially Memoirs of the Queensland Museum and Records of the Australian Museum; 19
