INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Lot 101 (No.777) Teatree Road, Bindoon is located in the Shire of Chittering approximately 60 km north-north-east of the Perth Central Business District (Figure 1). Lot 101 has a total land area of 475 hectares and is bound by Teatree Road to the north, Brennan Road to the east and undeveloped bushland to the south and west (Figure 2). The north-east corner of Lot 101, comprising an area of 50 hectares (herein referred to as the site), was recently rezoned to ‘Special Use’ by Amendment 61 to Shire of Chittering Local Planning Scheme No.6, to allow for the development of an integrated tourist resort in accordance with an approved Structure Plan. The proposed resort will include 46 residential resort homes, short-stay villas / serviced apartments, communal open space and guest facilities. Amendment 61 to Local Planning Scheme No.6 included the balance of Lot 101 in the ‘Environmental Conservation’ zone. PGV Environmental was commissioned by NXT, the proponent of the tourist resort, to undertake an Environmental Assessment of the site, being the north-east 50ha portion of Lot 101 (the site). 1.2 Scope of Work The Environmental Assessment was undertaken as a desktop assessment of the key environmental attributes of the site, a level 1 fauna survey and a detailed site flora and vegetation survey. The Environmental Assessment included the following: • Physical characteristics including a description of: - Landform; - Drainage and water bodies; and - Geological, hydrogeological and hydrological characteristics; • Recent and present land use including: - Assessment of current and historical activities; and - Surrounding land uses; • Flora and Vegetation

Author for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Background: The Neotropical ant-acacias show morphological variations in their vegetative characteristics as a consequence of their relation- ship with ants. However, there is no information regarding whether floral organs have also undergone any modification that prevents resident ants from approaching the inflorescences in anthesis. Questions: Are the patterns of floral development affected by the relationship with ants? Is there any floral organ or structure involved in avoid- ing the presence of ants during the flowering period? At what stage of development do these modifications arise, if at all? Studied species: Acacia cornigera (L.) Willd. Study site: Santiago Pinotepa Nacional, Oaxaca and Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz. March and May 2015. Methods: Dissections of inflorescences in every developmental stage from two populations, were examined using scanning electron micros- copy. Results: The inception patterns of the calyx (irregular), corolla (simultaneous), androecium (acropetally in alternate sectors) and gynoecium (precocious) agree with previous reports for non-myrmecophyic species of the Acacia genus. In mature stages, the presence of stomata is char- acteristic of bracts and petals.

  • A Conserved Role for the NAM/Mir164 Developmental

In Arabidopsis thaliana, this fusion is regulated through the Edited by: balance of expression between CUP SHAPED COTYLEDON (CUC) genes, which are Rainer Melzer, University College Dublin, Ireland orthologs of the Petunia hybrida transcription factor NO APICAL MERISTEM (NAM), and Reviewed by: their post-transcriptional regulator miR164. Accordingly, the expression of a miR164- Stefan De Folter, insensitive form of A. thaliana CUC2 causes a radical breakdown of carpel fusion.

We show that the disruption of this module in monocarpous Barbara Ambrose, flowers of A. thaliana aux1-22 mutants causes a failure of carpel closure, similar The New York Botanical Garden, USA to the failure of carpel fusion observed in the wild-type genetic background.

That rehabilitation seeks to provide visual management of he completed and backfilled faces when viewed from outside the pit and from longer distance. 2.0 Methods used There are difficulties in assessing the vegetation on the batters and slopes. The slopes are at the angle of repose for the dumped materials such as overburden. As such the hardened surface can be slippery and present a hazard to walking on the slopes in a number of locations, but particularly where the slopes are high or are above drops of the face of the quarry. The slopes were not walked on, on safety grounds but the vegetation was assessed by walking along the upper or lower edge of the rehabilitation and reviewing it from the edges. As such the data provides a guide and is close to the true values but is not to the same accuracy as using measuring tapes.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The Department is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from June 2001 to May 2004 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be replaced by a full Recovery Plan after three years. This IRP was approved by the Acting Director of Nature Conservation on 10 August 2001. The provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the Department, as well as the need to address other priorities. Information in this IRP was accurate at June 2001. 2 Interim Recovery Plan for Grevillea phanerophlebia SUMMARY Scientific Name: Grevillea phanerophlebia Common Name: Vein-leaf grevillea Family: Proteaceae Flowering Period: September The Department’s Midwest The Department’s Geraldton Region: District: Shire: Mingenew Recovery Team: Geraldton District Threatened Flora Recovery Team Illustrations and/or further information: Olde, P.
