Germination and Ex Situ Storage of Hakea Dohertyi (Proteaceae) Seed
Offord et al., Germination and storage of Hakea dohertyi seed 129 Germination and ex situ storage of Hakea dohertyi (Proteaceae) seed Cathy Offord, Mishy Mckensy, Julie Brien*, Graeme Errington+ and Peter Cuneo Royal Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan Botanic Garden, Mount Annan Drive, Mount Annan NSW 2567, AUSTRALIA *Now at NSW Agriculture, Tumut; +Now at Eurobodalla Shire Council, NSW. Abstract: Fresh seeds of the endangered Hakea dohertyi Haegi (Proteaceae) germinated at 15°C (with 12 hour light) within 14 days. At higher temperatures (20°, 25°C) seeds were slower to germinate. After 28 days only 5% of seeds germinated at 30°C, but when moved to 15°C, close to 100% of seeds germinated within 14 days. Having established optimum germination conditions, the effects of ex situ storage conditions and duration were examined. Storage at low moisture content appeared to have little effect on the germinability of Hakea dohertyi seeds and this species can be considered orthodox in that respect. Seeds stored at 4.5 or 9% moisture content, 5 or -20°C and tested after 1 and 7 years of storage achieved close to 100% germination. Issues relating to the in situ and ex situ conservation of Hakea dohertyi are discussed. Cunninghamia (2003) 8(1): 129–132 Introduction There is a high degree of diversity and local endemism in the 5 tudy2ere Proteaceae of the Sydney region (Myerscough et al. 2000). Hakea dohertyi Haegi, discovered in 1986, is one of a number of endangered endemic species occurring in the region that 5yeron are threatened by land management changes (Fisher et al.

Provisional List of Plants Requiring Urgent Management Intervention
WILDLIFE AND THREATENED SPECIES BUSHFIRE RECOVERY EXPERT PANEL Provisional list of plants requiring urgent management intervention Released on 23 April 2020 The 2019-20 bushfires in southern and eastern Australia have had severe impacts on many of the country’s approximately 25,000 plant species. The fires have covered an unusually large area and, in many places, have burnt with unusually high intensity. Although many plants have the capacity to respond positively to fire, the cumulative impact of the 2019-2020 fires and other stressors like high fire frequency or severity, drought, herbivory, or disease places many species at risk. Some species were considered threatened before the fires, and the fires have now likely increased their risk of extinction. Many other fire-affected plant species were not threatened before the fires - or had not previously had an assessment of extinction risk undertaken - but have now been burnt across much of their range, and may lack an ability to recover without help. To support protection and recovery of many of the fire-affected species, conservation action will be needed at many sites. This management will be supported by a wide range of government agencies, non-government conservation organisations, university researchers, Traditional Owner ranger teams, community groups and the public. A national provisional prioritisation was undertaken to assess 19,004 plant species against a set of eleven criteria which combine the proportion of the geographic range that burned, species fire response traits, and the interactive effects of other stressors such as drought, herbivory, disease, weed invasion and erosion. This prioritisation identified 709 plants as being at high risk from the impacts of the 2019-20 bushfires.

Hawkesbury-Nepean, New South Wales
Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian 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. 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. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

Approved Conservation Advice for Hakea Dohertyi
This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 1/10/2008 Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Hakea dohertyi This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Hakea dohertyi, Family Proteaceae, also known as Kowmung Hakea, is a slender, erect shrub growing to 4 m tall with cream-white flowers (Barker et al., 1999). Leaves are long, flexible, thread-like, triangular in cross-section, and sharply pointed. Flowers are cream to white and spidery, growing in groups of four to six (Harden, 2002; DECC, 2005). Flowers appear in spring (Harden, 2002). The woody fruit is oval-shaped, almost 3 cm long, and finely warty with a short beak and no horns (Harden, 2002; DECC, 2005). Conservation Status Hakea dohertyi is listed as endangered. This species is eligible for listing as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as endangered under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The species is also listed as endangered under Schedule 1 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and Habitat Hakea dohertyi occurs in the Burragorang area of NSW. It is restricted to a few ridges, amounting to approximately 18 km2 in the Kanangra–Boyd National Park in the southern Blue Mountains (Benson & McDougall, 2000; Harden, 2002).

VEGETATION, FIRE AND CLIMATE CHANGE in the GREATER BLUE MOUNTAINS WORLD HERITAGE AREA Kate Hammill and Liz Tasker VEGETATION, FIRE AND CLIMATE CHANGE in the GREATER BLUE MOUNTAINS WORLD HERITAGE AREA Kate Hammill and Liz Tasker An Environmental Trust funded project 2 VEGETATION, FIRE AND CLIMATE CHANGE in the GREATER BLUE MOUNTAINS WORLD HERITAGE AREA Kate Hammill and Liz Tasker 3 Acknowledgements This publication was funded by a dissemination grant from the NSW Environmental Trust. It follows a three-year research project, also funded by the Environmental Trust, Biodiversity re- sponses to fire regimes under climate change (2004/RD/0104). The findings from the research project form part of the content of this booklet. Most of the maps in this publication were com- pleted as part of a project funded by the Australian Government Caring for our Country, World Heritage Property Management Program (2008–09), which is summarised in Hammill, Tasker, & Reid (2010) Monitoring Fire Regimes and Biodiversity in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, an unpublished Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW (DECCW) report to the Australian Government Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts and Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. The fire history maps were compiled from extensive records and digital layers kept by the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service (now part of DECCW). The vegetation map made use of extensive and detailed local vegetation maps prepared by the Information and Assessment Section, Metropolitan Branch of DECCW (see Further Reading for details). We also acknowledge the prior work of Saskia Hayes in collating some of the vegetation maps for the World Heritage Area.
