These occupy a central strip between rugged hills and scarps to the north and west which rise 50 m or more above the surrounding sand plains. Although the numerous lakes and swamps are scattered across alluvial areas of uniform relief and similar geological age, some are freshwater and others, often quite close and divided by only low levees, are salt or strongly brackish. 13. Physical Features The rugged hills and scarps on the north of the Park represent the southern extension of the Hoods Range.

  • A Comparison of Climate Change Impacts on Park Values on Four Queensland World Heritage National Parks in Australia
    A comparison of climate change impacts on park values on four Queensland World Heritage National Parks in Australia Sherri L Tanner-McAllister, Jonathan Rhodes, Marc Hockings Abstract Protected areas will vary in how they respond to climate related threats and impacts. An important step in adapting protected area management to respond to climate change is identifying how protected areas and their values may be impacted. This requires an understanding of the ecological and social system impacting on the particular values so that consideration of management options and issues can be informed by this understanding. A set of Bayesian belief networks were developed to assess impacts and management issues for three key values (stream-dwelling frogs, cool temperate forest and recreational walking access) across four National Parks (Springbrook, Lamington, Mount Barney and Main Range) in Queensland, Australia. The aim was to assess how those values may be impacted by climate change, how the parks differ in relation to likely impact and options for management adaptation. We observed, depending on a protected area’s physical and socio-ecological characteristics, that the values were likely to be differently affected across the parks and management responses will need to take account of these differences. Introduction Climate change is one of the most significant issues facing our natural environment (Sommer et al. 2010). Globally, there has been detectable increases in land and ocean surface temperatures, sea temperatures, ocean salinity and sea levels over the last three decades (IPCC 2013; Savage & Vellend 2015). Climate change projections of an increase in average temperatures are likely to exceed 1.5 - 2oC (relative to 1850 to 1900) by the end of this century (IPCC 2013).

Riparian habitat in Western Queensland BP1319 October00 Product of Habitat Case Studies A constant water supply combined with fertile alluvial soil and sand deposits create riparian conditions. These areas sustain a vast array of unique habitats for native plants and animals, as well as being highly valued for their agricultural benefits. The availability of water, shade, shelter and food not only supports resident wildlife but also many nomadic and migratory species. In Outback Queensland, open woodlands of large river red gum, coolibah and varieties of eucalypt commonly line the rivers and creeks.

    Information Sheet on EAA Flyway Network Sites Information Sheet on EAA Flyway Network Sites (SIS) – 2017 version Available for download from http://www.eaaflyway.net/about/the-flyway/flyway-site-network/ Categories approved by Second Meeting of the Partners of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership in Beijing, China 13-14 November 2007 - Report (Minutes) Agenda Item 3.13 Notes for compilers: 1. The management body intending to nominate a site for inclusion in the East Asian - Australasian Flyway Site Network is requested to complete a Site Information Sheet. The Site Information Sheet will provide the basic information of the site and detail how the site meets the criteria for inclusion in the Flyway Site Network. When there is a new nomination or an SIS update, the following sections with an asterisk (*), from Questions 1-14 and Question 30, must be filled or updated at least so that it can justify the international importance of the habitat for migratory waterbirds. 2. The Site Information Sheet is based on the Ramsar Information Sheet. If the site proposed for the Flyway Site Network is an existing Ramsar site then the documentation process can be simplified. 3. Once completed, the Site Information Sheet (and accompanying map(s)) should be submitted to the Flyway Partnership Secretariat. Compilers should provide an electronic (MS Word) copy of the Information Sheet and, where possible, digital versions (e.g. shapefile) of all maps. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
