Many of these species were previously misunderstood or are listed as rare and endangered.

  • Species of the Box-Gum Woodlands and Derived Native Grasslands
    White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland Ecological Community Species List White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland Ecological Community Species List This species list is designed to provide information about plant species that can be found in the White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland ecological community listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The species list was developed to complement the Listing Information Guide, and should be read in that context. It provides information on scientific and common names of the species, the kind of plant the species is, whether it is an ‘important’ species for the purposes of this ecological community and whether it is exotic or native, perennial or annual. The list is not exhaustive and not all of the species listed will occur in every patch of White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland. If there are any species that you think should be added to the list, removed from the list, or that are categorised incorrectly, please contact [email protected]. As such, this document may change over time and you should check that you are referring to the most recent version of the list. Caveat: This list has been compiled from a range of sources.

  • The Invasion Ecology of Acacia Elata (A
    The invasion ecology of Acacia elata (A. Cunn. Ex Benth.) with implications for the management of ornamental wattles by Jason Ernest Donaldson Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in the Faculty of Science at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. David M. Richardson Co-supervisor: Dr. John R. Wilson December 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights, and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. September 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This thesis explores how human dictated methods of introduction and species-specific traits interact to define spatial patterns in invasive plant populations using Acacia elata as a model species. I initially asked whether the relatively small invasive extent (when compared to congeners introduced for forestry or dune stabilization) of a species used widely for ornamental purposes (A. elata) is due to low rates of reproduction in South Africa. Results indicate that A. elata has similar traits to other invasive Australia Acacia species: annual seed input into the leaf litter was high (up to 5000 seeds m-2); large seedbanks develop (>20 000 seeds m-2) in established stands; seed germinability is very high (>90%); seeds accumulate mostly in the top soil layers but can infiltrate to depths of 40cm; and seed germination appears to be stimulated by fire.

For your Diary 3 The Department of Environment and Science oversees a large Bonni’s Wallum Garden plantation area between Caboolture and Caloundra, and to the west. Due to the foresight of some far-sighted foresters back in at Nerang 4 the 1930s and 1940s, sections of native forest were set aside as More on Bonni’s Garden 5 the pine forests were established. After the Forestry Act of 1959 Vale Betty Sykes 5 was passed, there was provision for such sections to become Quote 6 "Scientific Areas", to be used for scientific purposes, other than Wallum Hotspot 6 pine plantations. Reminders 6 Being the first such area officially declared in Queensland after 1959, the Beerwah section was therefore named "Beerwah State Forest Scientific Area No. 1". Since then it has been gazetted as a National Park. It is divided into blocks of varying size, which are burnt at different intervals and times according to season and weather.
