The study area was the floodplain of the Murray River and its anabranches, including the Edward-Wakool system, from below Hume Dam to the upper end of Lake Alexandrina. The components of the study were: · Literature Review A comprehensive bibliography was compiled on the floodplain vegeta­ tion, its environment and the impact ofman's activities. The literature was reviewed and summarised. · Floristic Survey A field survey was carried out, visiting 112 sites throughout the study area and collecting vegetation data from 335 plots. Data collected were the species present, their relative abundance, the condition of the eucalypts, the amount ofeucalypt regeneration and indices ofgrazing pressure. Brief studies were made of the effects of river regulation and salinisation at specific sites. Thirty-seven plant communities were identified from a numerical analyis ofthe floristic survey data. The differences reflect environmental changes both along the river and across the floodplain. The most important factors were identified as soil salinity levels and flooding frequency.

  • Encampment. Here Likewise Grew a Shrubby Species of Xerotes 110H
    - 113 - encampment. Here likewise grew a shrubby species of Xerotes 110h hard rush-like leaves, but allied to X.gracilis.4 Mitchell sketched his quandong-like shrub, naming it Ellsalzarr1-.TsAyana. This plant was long known as Fusanusarsicarius, but in recent revisions, Mitchell t s name has been restored, so that the Quandong is now Eualya acuminata and the Bitter Quandong is E.murrayana. Mitchell thus became -the first explorer, apart from Cunningham, a professional botanist, to name and publish, albeit without the traditional Latin description, a native plant. Also on the Murray, he found a very beautiful, new, shrubby species of cassia, with thin papery pods and...the most brillant yellow blossoms...I would name it C.heteroloba.464 Lindley accepted this, and the plant was so named, although it proved to be synonymous with Cassia eremophila which had precedence. Similarly, Mitchell named Pelargonium rodne anum, which would be an acquisition to our gardens. I named it...in honour of Mrs. Riddell Sydney, grand-daughter of the famous Rodney.4-} On this expedition, Mitchell made his usual prophecies concerning the economy of the new country. He felt that the "quandong nut" and "gum 466 acacia may in time, become articles of commerce" and "having brought home specimens of most of the woods of the interior", Mitchell felt that several of the acacias would be valuable for ornamental work, having a pleasing perfume resembling that of a rose. Some are of a dark colour of various shades, and very compact; others light coloured and resembling in texture, box or lancewood...Specimens of these A pods may be seen at Hallets, No.

  • Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Associated with Remnant Native Vegetation in an Agricultural Floodplain Landscape
    Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Associated with Remnant Native Vegetation in an Agricultural Floodplain Landscape Rhiannon Smith B Nat Res (Hons) University of New England N Meters 0 500 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New England June 2010 Certification I certify that the substance of this thesis has not already been submitted for any degree and is not currently being submitted for any other degree or qualification. I certify that any help received in preparing this thesis and all sources used have been acknowledged in this thesis. Rhiannon Smith i Abstract Biodiversity, ecosystem service provision and human well-being are inextricably linked. The current rate of biodiversity loss worldwide is impacting on ecosystem service provision with negative implications for human well-being. Little quantitative information is available about the provision of most ecosystem services by most ecosystems, the effect of management on the ability of vegetation to provide services, or trade-offs in service provision with land use. This information is particularly important in agricultural landscapes where the extent of landscape change is affecting biodiversity and ecosystem service provision substantially and thus agricultural sustainability. This study quantified the provision of carbon storage, erosion mitigation and biodiversity conservation services by five vegetation communities (river red gum Eucalyptus camaldulensis riparian forests, coolibah E. coolabah woodlands and open- woodlands, myall Acacia pendula tall shrublands and tall open-shrublands, black box E. largiflorens woodland and open-woodland, and mixed grassland – low open-chenopod shrubland) common on the lower Namoi floodplain in northern New South Wales, Australia.

  • The Vegetation of Kinchega National Park, Western New South Wales
    1 The vegetation of Kinchega National Park, western New South Wales M.E. Westbrooke, M.K.C. Kerr and J. Leversha Westbrooke, M.E., Kerr, M.K.C. and Leversha, J. (Centre for Environmental Management, University of Ballarat, PO Box 663 Ballarat, Victoria, Australia 3353) 2001. The vegetation of Kinchega National Park, western New South Wales. Cunninghamia 7(1): 1–25. The vegetation of Kinchega National Park (latitude 32°18'–32°40'S and longitude 142°10'–142°25'E) in far western New South Wales was assessed using intensive quadrat sampling and mapped using extensive ground truthing and interpretation of aerial photographs and Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite images. Three hundred and fifty two species of vascular plants were recorded from this survey, which, together with other records indicates the presence of 503 species from 69 families including 100 (20%) exotic species. Fifteen vegetation communities were identified and mapped, the most widespread being Maireana species low open- shrubland, Acacia victoriae open-shrubland and Eucalyptus largiflorens open- woodland. The Park also contains a number of rare or threatened species and vegetation communities. One hundred and fifty years of grazing by introduced herbivores coupled with the impact of a modified hydrological regime has resulted in degradation of many of these communities. Introduction Kinchega National Park (latitude 32°18'–32°40'S and longitude 142°10'–142°25'E) is located in far western New South Wales 110 km south-east of Broken Hill (Fig. 1). The Park covers an area of approximately 44 000 ha. It largely encompasses Lakes Menindee and Cawndilla, which form a major part of the Murray Darling Basin Commission’s Menindee Lakes Storage Scheme.

  • Toxicology for Australian Veterinarians
    70 Grazing animals at risk of eating the plant under dry pasture conditions should be either denied access to them or given adequate supplementary feed to reduce the probability of significant browsing of shrubs and trees. Effective mechanical removal of the plant is hindered by its capacity to produce root suckers readily. Picloram + triclopyr (Access) is registered for use on bitterbark as a basal bark or cut stump application using diesel as a carrier. Long-term control of root suckers in fallowed cultivation (> 3 years) is by applying picloram + triclopyr (Grazon DS) as a 1:4 concentration in water using a blanket wiper in autumn. Adding glyphosate provides no advantage. Use 2% Grazon DS (100 ml concentrate in 5 L water) to spot spray individual plants, thoroughly wetting all leaves and stem. Treated areas should not be cultivated for 6 months. These are registered uses of these herbicides. [Osten & McCosker 2002] References: Bisset NG (1958) Annales Bogoriensis 3:151.

Prolonged drought and trends towards ongoing change in rainfall patterns are making landuse dominated by cropping and annual pastures unsustainable. This represents an opportunity for large scale change to livestock industries, where blending feed production from woody and herbaceous perennials with traditional pastures become the preferred productive landuse in the future.
