Also many thanks to DSE in Bairnsdale for access to their photo copiers. I wish all members and their families good health and happiness in 2009. Whilst there are a large number of suitable habitats that could potentially contain C. hunteriana, more often than not searches of these locations proves fruitless. Even so there are a number of sites where the heathland is at a stage that favours C. hunteriana, and selected potential sites maybe worth investigating if sufficient volunteers were available.

This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa.

  • The Effect of Disturbance on Plant Rarity and Ecosystem Function
    The effect of disturbance on plant rarity and ecosystem function John Wallace Patykowski B.Env.Sci. (hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University February 2018 1 Preface This thesis is a compilation of my own work. I designed the method for the study under guidance from my supervisors Dr Maria Gibson, Dr Matt Dell and Dr Tricia Wevill. Dr Greg Holland and Professor Andrew Bennett provided floristic data for this project; for all other data, I designed and conducted all fieldwork, and collected and organised all data. I designed and undertook all analysis associated with this research, and wrote and revised all thesis chapters. Each data chapter in the thesis was written as a manuscript for publication; as such, each chapter is self-contained and some repetition occurs among chapters, particularly within methods. Due to Deakin University requirements, all references occur at the end of the thesis, rather than at the conclusion of each chapter. All data chapters have been submitted to scientific journals; two (Chapters 2 and 4) have been accepted, and two are under review. Each manuscript was co-authored by my supervisory panel, as well as others specified below, and they have contributed to the ideas presented in each.

Adams i ii Key to the Trees and Shrubs of Black Mtn, Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura, ACT. Based largely on Vegetative Characteristics Laurence G. Adams (2010) Black Mountain Reserve on the one hand and the Mount Ainslie/Mount Majura Reserve on the other are, geologically speaking, of very different age and material. Black Mtn is entirely derived from sedimentary rocks, mainly fine-grained quartz sandstone (Black Mtn Sandstone - Lower Silurian) with a smaller area on the western and northern side of even older shales and siltstones (Pittman Formation -Upper Ordovician). The Ainslie-Majura ridge, by contrast, is of younger acidic volcanics (Ainslie Volcanics - Middle Silurian [not Lower Devonian as previously thought]). Detailed descriptions of the respective geology can be found in the following references: (1) R.S.Abell: “Geology of the Canberra 1:100,000 Sheet Area.”, BMR Bulletin 233 (1991) (2) R.S.Abell: “Geology of the Australian Capital Territory; 1:100,000 scale map”, Geol.
