Ecology of Proteaceae with Special Reference to the Sydney Region

Bradstock Myerscough, P.J.1, Whelan, R.J.2, and Bradstock, R.A.3 (1Institute of Wildlife Research, School of Biological Sciences (A08), University of Sydney, NSW 2006; 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, NSW 2522; 3Biodiversity Research and Management Division, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967, Hurstville, NSW 1481) Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region. Cunninghamia 6(4): 951–1015. In Australia, the Proteaceae are a diverse group of plants. They inhabit a wide range of environments, many of which are low in plant resources. They support a wide range of animals and other organisms, and show distinctive patterns of distribution in relation to soils, climate and geological history. These patterns of distribution, relationships with nutrients and other resources, interactions with animals and other organisms and dynamics of populations in Proteaceae are addressed in this review, particularly for the Sydney region. The Sydney region, with its wide range of environments, offers great opportunities for testing general questions in the ecology of the Proteaceae. For instance, its climate is not mediterranean, unlike the Cape region of South Africa, south- western and southern Australia, where much of the research on plants of Proteaceae growing in infertile habitats has been done. The diversity and abundance of Proteaceae vary in the Sydney region inversely with fertility of habitats. In the region’s rainforest there are few Proteaceae and their populations are sparse, whereas in heaths in the region, Proteaceae are often diverse and may dominate the canopy.

Spatial analysis of risks posed by root rot pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi: implications for disease management. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 134, B147-B179. Phytophthora cinnamomi, a soil-borne pathogen that infects the roots of plants, is listed as a Key Threatening Process under Commonwealth and NSW state biodiversity legislation due to its deleterious effects on native ﬂ ora. In warm temperate eastern Australia, the disease may cause insidious declines in plant species that have slow rates of population turnover, and thereby threaten their long term persistence. Phytophthora cinnamomi has been known to occur in Royal National Park since the 1970s and systematic surveys for the pathogen were carried out a decade ago. Development of effective management strategies to mitigate the impacts of the disease requires information on the spatial distribution of risks posed by the disease. In this study, we use limited disease survey data to identify areas that are most at risk. We propose and apply a simple risk model in which risks of disease impact are proportional to the product of habitat suitability for the pathogen and abundance of susceptible biota.

Best Local Native Plants for Use in Bushfire Prone Locations
Best local native plants for use in Bushfire Prone Locations In the wake of bushfire, many local gardeners seek to replant landscaped areas with so called ‘low flammability’ species. It is important to understand that under extreme bushfire conditions, all vegetative material can burn. However, some species are less likely to ignite or burn intensely than others, and some species have growth characteristics which make them less likely to promote the spread of fire. If you are replanting the areas surrounding your dwelling or other areas within your Asset Protection Zone (APZ), careful attention must be paid to both species selection and garden layout. Consider the usefulness and suitability of each existing or proposed planting. Be mindful of the plant’s ultimate height and spread, and don’t overplant, or alternatively be prepared to prune or cull as plants mature. Both vertical and horizontal separation between canopy components or shrub clusters needs to be retained so as to reduce the potential for fire to spread. Whether selecting new plants for your garden, or species for retention in your APZ, there are a few key characteristics to look for: • Relatively high moisture content of leaves (‘mesic’ or rainforest type species, but these need to remain well watered if they are to retain their fire suppressant characteristics) • Low levels of volatile oil in leaves (crush and sniff the leaf to see if you can detect a strong smell) • Large or hard leaves with simple margins • Smooth, hard, or persistent bark, rather than flakey or ribbon bark • Plants that don’t accumulate a lot of dead leaf and stem material below them or suspended in the foliage.

Waratah Theft in Brisbane Water National Park – an Analysis of the Blue Paint Poaching Reduction Program
Waratah theft in Brisbane Water National Park – an analysis of the blue paint poaching reduction program Doug Beckers1 and Catherine A. Offord2 1 Parks and Wildlife Division, Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water PO Box 1477 Gosford NSW 2250 AUSTRALIA; Email: [email protected] 2 Botanic Gardens Trust, Mount Annan Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan Drive, Mount Annan, NSW 2567 AUSTRALIA. Abstract: The flowers of Waratahs, Telopea speciosissima (family Proteaceae) are regularly harvested illegally from natural bushland, particularly close to urban areas such as the New South Wales Central Coast. The removal of Waratah blooms from the wild may have implications for the long-term survival of local populations because of the interaction between wildfire events, subsequent flowering and limited seedling recruitment opportunities. To reduce the incidence of theft, blue acrylic paint was applied to blooms to reduce their commercial value. The painting of blooms in 2004 did not significantly reduce the incidence of wildflower theft when compared to unpainted blooms, but overall losses were lower (27%) than in 2003 (33%). However, painting of blooms had a deleterious affect on fruit production on plants with multiple heads with painted blooms having significantly reduced fruit set compared to unpainted blooms. Painting of blooms had no significant effect on seed quality (seed production per fruit, seed germination or seedling vigour) when compared to unpainted blooms. The painting of Waratah blooms to reduce theft was relatively ineffective and decreased fruit production. Alternative strategies should be considered to reduce wildflower theft in the area. Key words: Waratah, Telopea speciosissima, bush-harvesting, seed production seed germination, flower theft, fire management, adaptive management Cunninghamia (2010) 11(3): 287–293 This paper is dedicated to the memory of George Robertson who tragically passed away before the completion of this study.

Fire Responses of Bushland Plants After the January 1994 Wildfires in Northern Sydney
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Fire responses of bushland plants after the January 1994 wildfires in northern Sydney P.J.Kubiak P.O. Box 439, Ryde, NSW 1680 AUSTRALIA Abstract: In early January 1994 wildfires burned areas of bushland in northern Sydney (lat 33° 45’ S, long 151° 05’ E) in coastal south-eastern Australia. This paper reports observations of the fire responses for 828 species of bushland plants – 576 native species and 252 exotic species in the Lane Cove River and Narrabeen Lagoon catchment areas. Information recorded includes whether a species was killed by fire or resprouted post-fire, when seedlings were first observed following fire, and the times of first flowering and first fruiting (or spore production) after the fires. The estimated peaks of post-fire flowering or fruiting for a few species are given. It was not practicable to record data in all categories for all of the 828 species due to the logistical challenges involved in recording data across a large area of bushland, over a number of years. The data presented add to the growing body of knowledge on plant fire responses and will assist the management and conservation of bushland in the study areas, as well as the broader Sydney region. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(1): 131–165 Introduction Following a fire, the time taken by plants to flower after germination from seed, is known as the ‘primary juvenile Fire plays an important role in the shaping of Australia’s period’.
