The Natural History of Upper Sturt, South Australia Part I
THE NATURAL HISTORY OF UPPER STURT, SOUTH AUSTRALIA PART I: VEGETATION HISTORY, FLORA AND MACROFUNGI OF A MESSMATE STRINGYBARK FOREST Tony Robinson and Julia Haska PO Box 47 UPPER STURT SA 5156 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: An area of Eucalyptus obliqua, Messmate Stringybark Forest in Upper Sturt, Mt Lofty Ranges, South Australia was studied over a 38 year period. The land use history since the area was first settled by Europeans in 1843, to the present day is summarized. The area is now known to support 249 species of plants of which 105 species are introduced and 64 species of macrofungi of which at least 3 are introduced. Although the area has undergone many changes since European settlement it remains an important area of remnant native vegetation. There are ongoing challenges from weed invasion, overgrazing by over-abundant kangaroos and introduced koalas and from potential damage by severe wildfire KEY WORDS: Upper Sturt, land use history, forest, flora, fungi, vegetation INTRODUCTION: This is the first of three papers describing revegetation of cleared land adjacent to areas of relatively natural remnant native vegetation. In this paper, elements of the vegetation, flora and fungi are described in a study area at 16 Pole Road, Upper Sturt in the Mt Lofty Ranges. The second paper describes the vertebrate and invertebrate fauna of the area, while the third paper provides results of fauna and vegetation monitoring in sample sites established in both the re-vegetated area and the remnant natural vegetation in the Upper Sturt study area. A second series of three papers will cover the flora and fauna and a more extensive revegetation program on a study area on the western end of Kangaroo Island (in prep.). -
Biodiversity Summary: Port Phillip and Westernport, Victoria
Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? 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. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations. -

Vegetation Benchmarks Dry Eucalypt Forest and Woodland
Vegetation Benchmarks Dry eucalypt forest and woodland Vegetation Condition Benchmarks version 1 Dry Eucalyptus Forest and Woodland DAC Eucalyptus amygdalina coastal forest and woodland: heathy facies (forest) Community Description: Eucalyptus amygdalina coastal forests and woodlands are dry sclerophyll communities, which vary from open forest to low open woodland dominated by E. amygdalina. The community can form pure stands of scattered trees or mallee-form trees emerging from a heathy understorey. Trees rarely exceed 25-30m in height and on many sites are less than 25 m tall. The community occurs in northern and eastern Tasmania. This benchmark is one of 6 benchmarks available to assess the condition of DAC.

Castlemaine Naturalist December 2014 Vol. 39.11 #427 Monthly newsletter of the Castlemaine Field Naturalists Club Inc. Night Heron, Castlemaine Botanical Gardens November photo by Noel Young A Pudding Bag of Nature Lessons What a treat it is to visit a rich nature reserve with a nature enthusiast! Our November excursion to Pudding Bag Nature Reserve with John Walter was a just such an experience. I learned: * To decipher Slender Rice-flower (Pimelea linifolia) from Common Rice-flower (Pimelea humilis) by looking at the stem below the flowering head - if it is hairy then it’s humilis! * That Button Everlastings have had a name change and are now Coronidium scorpioides * That Fryerstown Grevillea (Grevillea obtecta) occurs in the Castlemaine area and has very variable leaf forms and shorter flower styles. Creeping Grevillea (Grevillea repens) is more likely to be seen in the Daylesford area and it has longer styles on a different angle. * That you can identify a Yam Daisy (Microseris sp 3) by its unique seed head. * That you can run your hands up but not easily down along the saw-like edges of a Thatch Saw-sedge (Gahnia radula); and that you should resist running your hands along the flattened oval leaf of a Variable Sword-sedge (Lepidosperma laterale) or you will probably cut you hands on the sharp sword-like edges. * The upright leaves and the parallel veins on the underside of the leaf help identify Prickly Broom Heath (Monotoca scoparia) when not in flower and that you have to look very closely to see the tiny round green seed pods developing at this time of the year.
