Wednesday Walk in Monga Forest – Loop Off Reidsdale Road – 4 March 2009 Wednesday Walk in Monga Forest – Loop off Reidsdale Road – 4 March 2009 We left cars at both ends of this loop (shown on the 1:25,000 Monga map) which is on the southern side of Reidsdale Road. We started at the top, ie the western end, and were in tall forest with a moist understorey of an interesting array of plants including many tree ferns (Dicksonia antarctica and Cyathea australis), Goodenia ovata, Persoonia linearis, Platysace lanceolata, Coprosma quadrifida, Leucopogon lanceolatus. The first part of the track was easy to follow but the second part was overgrown and covered in debris – easily missed.

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.

  • Robertson Basalt Tall Open Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion
    Robertson Basalt Tall Open Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion Introduction These guidelines provide background information to assist landholders to identify remnants of Robertson Basalt Tall Open Forest (known here as Robertson Basalt Forest) in the Sydney Basin Bioregion. For more detailed information, refer to the NSW Scientific Committee’s Determination Advice at www.threatenedspecies.environment.nsw.gov.au/tsprofile/profile.aspx?id=10732 What is an endangered ecological community? An ecological community is a unique and naturally occurring assemblage of plants and animals. The presence of an ecological community can be determined by factors such as soil type, position in the landscape, climate and water availability, all of which influence species composition.. An endangered ecological community (EEC) is an ecological community listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 as being at risk of extinction unless threats affecting these areas are managed and reduced. What is Robertson Basalt Forest? Robertson Basalt Forest is an open forest or woodland up to 30 m tall with a sparse to moderately dense shrub layer and a dense ground layer dominated by herbs. It occurs on high-fertility basalt-derived soils in areas of relatively high rainfall (about 1000–600 mm annually). The most common canopy tree species are brown barrel (Eucalyptus fastigata), ribbon gum (E. viminalis), narrow-leaved peppermint (E. radiata subsp. radiata) and river peppermint (E. elata). Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon) is a common small tree species and shrubs that often occur include prickly currant bush (Coprosma quadrifida) and the native daisy Senecio linearifolius. The composition of the community varies across its distribution, largely reflecting a gradient of decreasing rainfall from east (near the Illawarra Escarpment) to west (near Bundanoon).
