This area is described by the Forestry Commission ofNew South Wales (1986). The survey was in the context ofmanagement ofthe area for commercial forestry purposes. Most ofthe field work was carried out by D. Binns and T. Brassil, with some assistance from T. Tweedie, during April 1991 and August 1991. METHODS 1. Plot Location Floristic data were derived from a series ofnon-permanent plots established within the study area. Plots were initially marked on 1:25 000 topographic maps using stratified random sampling. Plot points in previously unlogged areas were stratified primarily by vegetation type, on the basis ofmaps ofForest Types (Forestry Commission ofNew South Wales, 1989) previously prepared from aerial photograph interpretation with extensive field checking (Forestry Commission ofNew South Wales unpubl. maps). Numbers ofplots per Forest Type were allocated according to variability ofgeological substrate and total extent oftype. A single plot was located in the least extensive types and up to four plots in the most extensive types. For each ofthe most extensive types, up to six plots were also located in previously logged areas. In Butterleaf State Forest and the northern part ofCurramore State Forest, for which vegetation maps do not exist, plots were located subjectively to sample a range of habitat types. Forest Types have not been mapped over large areas ofsteep to precipitous topography on the eastern escarpment. These areas are ofnegligible interest for commercial forestry, and preliminary field inspection suggested that extensive areas were floristically relatively uniform and were also likely to be oflittle botanical interest. Sampling intensity in these areas was very low and aimed at minimum representation ofmajor vegetation types plus sampling ofthe small areas of particular interest, such as rainforest patches and rock outcrops. An excess ofplots was marked in more extensive strata. Final sample plots were chosen from these to favour plots which could be sampled en route to those in less extensive strata. This strategy was designed to ensure efficient sampling ofthe full range ofhabitats while reducing unproductive travelling time as far as possible. Final plot positions were transferred to the field as accurately as possible using topographic features. Plots were located to ensure that each geology type in the area was sampled. In the field, plots were positioned as far as possible within a relatively homogeneous patch of vegetation. The standard size was a 50 m x 20 m (0.1 ha) rectangle, although some habitats required a variation in size or shape to ensure homogeneity within one plot e.g. longer or narrower plots were used for riparian vegetation, and smaller plots for vegetation ofrestricted extent. A total of82 plots was surveyed during the present survey. Approximate locations are shown in Figures lA and lB. Some additional floristic data were available from limited surveys in London Bridge State Forest by T. Tweedie (Watts and Tweedie, pers. comm.). These data have been included where appropriate, but were not sufficiently compatible to be used for community analysis. Additional overstorey data ( (estimates ofbasal area using optical wedge counts) were available from habitat measurements for an owl survey being undertaken in the area (R. Kavanagh,pers. comm.). These have been included in the overstorey analysis. Forest Resources Series No. 23 Forestry Commission o(New South Wales Flora Survey, Glen Innes Management Area, Northern Region -2- 1$2'.'

Floristic and Vegetation Structural Data All plant species which could be distinguished within a plot were recorded and identified as far as possible to species level. Vertical heights ofvegetation strata were subjectively defined and recorded for each plot. Stratum limits of0-1 m, 1-6 m, 6-20 m and 20-35 m and >35 m were used as a guide for the coding ofstructural data, even though actual heights were recorded. Cover codes, based on projected canopy cover, were estimated for each species within each vertical stratum. Where a species occurred in more than one stratum, an overall cover code for the plot as a whole was also recorded. Codes are as follows: Cover Code Projected Canopy Cover 1 < 5%, few individuals 2 < 5%, any number ofindividuals 3 6-25% 4 26-50% 5 51-75% 6 >75% The locations ofany occurrences ofsignificant species noted while traversing the area, additional to those occurring in plots, and any species not previously recorded in plots, were also recorded. The map unit in which each plot was located was recorded and a subjective assessment made ofthe Forest Type (Forestry Commission ofNew South Wales, 1989) to which the vegetation would be most appropriately allocated. .... 3. Habitat Data At each plot, slope (in degrees), altitude, aspect, topographic position, drainage, percentage cover and particle size ofsurface rock and cover ofoutcropping bedrock were recorded. An assessment was made ofprevious disturbance by logging, fire and grazing, on the basis ofany available visual evidence. An estimate ofintensity and time since disturbance was recorded. Estimates for logging were checked against historical records. Any other unusual feature was also recorded. 4. Limitations Field work was carried out in autumn and late winter. Some ephemeral species may have been overlooked, and spring or summer flowering geophytes, including

    --------- -- ---------· 4 CHAPTER 1 REVIEW OF SELECTED LITERATURE AND EPIPHYTE CLASSIFICATION 1.1 Review of Selected, Relevant Literature (p. 5) Several important aspects of epiphyte biology and ecology that are not investigated as part of this work, are reviewed, particularly those published on more. recently. 1.2 Epiphyte Classification and Terminology (p.11) is reviewed and the system used here is outlined and defined. A glossary of terms, as used here, is given. 5 1.1 Review of Selected, Relevant Li.terature Since the main works of Schimper were published (1884, 1888, 1898), particularly Die Epiphytische Vegetation Amerikas (1888), many workers have written on many aspects of epiphyte biology and ecology. Most of these will not be reviewed here because they are not directly relevant to the present study or have been effectively reviewed by others. A few papers that are keys to the earlier literature will be mentioned but most of the review will deal with topics that have not been reviewed separately within the chapters of this project where relevant (i.e. epiphyte classification and terminology, aspects of epiphyte synecology and CAM in the epiphyt~s). Reviewed here are some special problems of epiphytes, particularly water and mineral availability, uptake and cycling, general nutritional strategies and matters related to these. Also, all Australian works of any substance on vascular epiphytes are briefly discussed. some key earlier papers include that of Pessin (1925), an autecology of an epiphytic fern, which investigated a number of factors specifically related to epiphytism; he also reviewed more than 20 papers written from the early 1880 1 s onwards.

  • Chapter 1. Introduction
    Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1. Introduction Research and ecological context Importance of the mutualistic symbiosis Truffle-like fungi are an important component in many terrestrial ecosystems. They provide a food resource for mycophagous (‘fungus-eating’) animals and are an essential symbiont for many plant species (Claridge 2002; Brundrett 2009). Most truffle-like fungi are considered ectomycorrhizal (EcM) in which the fungus hyphae penetrate the plant root structure and form a sheath (‘Hartig Net’) around plant root tips. This enables the exchange of water, minerals, and metabolites between fungus and plant (Nehls et al. 2010). The fungus can form extensive networks of mycelium in the soil extending the effective surface of the plant-host root system. EcM fungi can also confer resistance to parasites, predators, pathogens, and heavy-metal pollution, as well as the breakdown of inorganic substrates (Claridge 2002; Gadd 2007; Bonfante & Genre 2010). EcM fungi can reproduce through mycelia (vegetative) growth or through spores. Truffle-like EcM fungi form reproductive below-ground (hypogeous) fruit-bodies (sporocarps) in which spores are entirely or partly enclosed within fungal tissue of the sporocarp (‘sequestrate’), and often referred to as ‘truffles’. The sporocarps of these fungi (‘truffles’) generally require excavation and consumption by mycophagous mammals for spores to be liberated and dispersed to new locations (Johnson 1996; Bougher & Lebel 2001). In contrast, epigeous or ‘mushroom-like’ fungi produce stipitate above-ground sporocarps in which spores are not enclosed within fungal tissue and are actively or passively discharged into the surrounding environment. Consequently, truffle-like taxa are considered to have evolved to be reliant on mycophagous animals for their dispersal.

  • 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.
