Goulburn Valley Environment Group4.72 MB
LC EPC Inquiry into Ecosystem Decline in Victoria Submission 717 This submission describes a case study in which the decline of 39 threatened plant species in the eastern Northern Plains is recorded and reasons for their decline were investigated. Threatened Plants of the eastern Northern Plains, 2020 is a pamphlet that provides an overview of the project and describes the plants and places that were assessed (File attached). More than twenty years ago, as consultants for Goulburn Valley Environment Group (GVEG), we undertook two major assessments of the conservation status of flora and fauna in the Eastern Northern Plains of Victoria, publishing two reports: Natural Values of the Public Lands Along the Broken, Boosey and Nine Mile Creeks of Northeast Victoria, 1996 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d3987f9db867f0001b1bb82/t/5d7d776f9a3d416fbae148f3/156850367649 5/Natural+Values.pdf Priorities for Nature Conservation Reservation and Management in the Eastern Northern Plains of Victoria, 1998 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d3987f9db867f0001b1bb82/t/5d7d7930a0accb2d2c9fcdac/156850411967 4/PRIORITIES+FOR+NATURE+CONSERVATION.pdf In the years since, many of the recommended changes to conservation status have been achieved, notably the creation of Barmah National Park, Lower Goulburn National Park, Warby-Ovens National Park and Broken-Boosey State Park. As well, many practical conservation actions such as fencing, woody weed control, pest control, planting and signage were undertaken by community groups, ParksVictoria and the Goulburn Broken Catchment Authority on these sites over that time. In 2017 GVEG received a Victorian Government Biodiversity On-ground Action Grant – Community and Volunteer (BOA2017CA373) to look at how the threatened flora populations identified in those 1990s studies had responded to the changed land tenure and changed management.

Towards Resolving Lamiales Relationships
Schäferhoff et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:352 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/352 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Towards resolving Lamiales relationships: insights from rapidly evolving chloroplast sequences Bastian Schäferhoff1*, Andreas Fleischmann2, Eberhard Fischer3, Dirk C Albach4, Thomas Borsch5, Günther Heubl2, Kai F Müller1 Abstract Background: In the large angiosperm order Lamiales, a diverse array of highly specialized life strategies such as carnivory, parasitism, epiphytism, and desiccation tolerance occur, and some lineages possess drastically accelerated DNA substitutional rates or miniaturized genomes. However, understanding the evolution of these phenomena in the order, and clarifying borders of and relationships among lamialean families, has been hindered by largely unresolved trees in the past. Results: Our analysis of the rapidly evolving trnK/matK, trnL-F and rps16 chloroplast regions enabled us to infer more precise phylogenetic hypotheses for the Lamiales. Relationships among the nine first-branching families in the Lamiales tree are now resolved with very strong support. Subsequent to Plocospermataceae, a clade consisting of Carlemanniaceae plus Oleaceae branches, followed by Tetrachondraceae and a newly inferred clade composed of Gesneriaceae plus Calceolariaceae, which is also supported by morphological characters. Plantaginaceae (incl. Gratioleae) and Scrophulariaceae are well separated in the backbone grade; Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae appear in distant clades, while the recently described Linderniaceae are confirmed to be monophyletic and in an isolated position. Conclusions: Confidence about deep nodes of the Lamiales tree is an important step towards understanding the evolutionary diversification of a major clade of flowering plants. The degree of resolution obtained here now provides a first opportunity to discuss the evolution of morphological and biochemical traits in Lamiales.

'Soils' and 'Vegetation'?
Is there a close association between ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’? A case study from central western New South Wales M.O. Rankin1, 3, W.S Semple2, B.W. Murphy1 and T.B. Koen1 1 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 445, Cowra, NSW 2794, AUSTRALIA 2 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 53, Orange, NSW 2800, AUSTRALIA 3 Corresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract: The assumption that ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’ are closely associated was tested by describing soils and vegetation along a Travelling Stock Reserve west of Grenfell, New South Wales (lat 33° 55’S, long 147° 45’E). The transect was selected on the basis of (a) minimising the effects of non-soil factors (human interference, climate and relief) on vegetation and (b) the presence of various soil and vegetation types as indicated by previous mapping. ‘Soils’ were considered at three levels: soil landscapes (a broad mapping unit widely used in central western NSW), soil types (according to a range of classifications) and soil properties (depth, pH, etc.). ‘Vegetation’ was considered in three ways: vegetation type (in various classifications), density/floristic indices (density of woody species, abundance of native species, etc.) and presence/absence of individual species. Sites along the transect were grouped according to soil landscapes or soil types and compared to vegetation types or indices recorded at the sites. Various measures indicated low associations between vegetation types and soil landscapes or soil types. Except for infrequent occurrences of a soil type or landscape, any one soil type or landscape was commonly associated with a number of vegetation types and any one vegetation type was associated with a number of soil landscapes or soil types.

The study area was the floodplain of the Murray River and its anabranches, including the Edward-Wakool system, from below Hume Dam to the upper end of Lake Alexandrina. The components of the study were: · Literature Review A comprehensive bibliography was compiled on the floodplain vegeta tion, its environment and the impact ofman's activities. The literature was reviewed and summarised. · Floristic Survey A field survey was carried out, visiting 112 sites throughout the study area and collecting vegetation data from 335 plots. Data collected were the species present, their relative abundance, the condition of the eucalypts, the amount ofeucalypt regeneration and indices ofgrazing pressure. Brief studies were made of the effects of river regulation and salinisation at specific sites. Thirty-seven plant communities were identified from a numerical analyis ofthe floristic survey data. The differences reflect environmental changes both along the river and across the floodplain. The most important factors were identified as soil salinity levels and flooding frequency.

MVG 8 Casuarina Forests and Woodlands DRAFT
MVG 8 - CASUARINA FORESTS AND WOODLANDS Calcareous sandplain woodlands, western NSW (Photo: B. Pellow) Overview Casuarinas (the she-oaks) are a distinctive part of the Australian landscape. The name Casuarina is derived from the Malay Kasuari and alludes to the similarity between the drooping foliage of some species in the genus and that of the feathers of the cassowary bird (Boland et al., 1994). Casuarinas have a unique leaf structure, in which individual leaves are reduced to small teeth, the bases of which are fused and surround the stem. This gives the leaf-bearing branchlets the appearance of needles and the plant canopies a fine structure allowing permeability of more light than broad-leaf tree canopies. While several contrasting vegetation types are dominated by Casuarinas, most species of Allocasuarina are subordinate or subdominant members of mixed plant communities. MVG 8 includes vegetation dominated by Casuarina or Allocasuarina in contrasting environments such as arid sandplains, coastal floodplains and riparian corridors in humid landscapes (Keith 2004). Casuarina vegetation not included within MVG 8 includes: Allocasuarina decaisneana open woodland of the central deserts (included within MVG 31); coastal scrubs dominated by Allocasuarina equisetifolia (included within MVG 15); and small areas dominated by dense stands of Allocasuarina littoralis within dry sclerophyll eucalypt forests (included within MVG 3).

Lesson 3 RECOGNISING PLANT FAMILIES and IDENTIFYING PLANTS Aim Distinguish Between Different Plant Families and to Become Profi
Lesson 3 RECOGNISING PLANT FAMILIES AND IDENTIFYING PLANTS Aim Distinguish between different plant families and to become proficient at identifying plants. The best way to build your ability to identify plants is by working with or handling a variety of different plants on a daily basis. The first ten plant names you learn are always much more difficult than the next ninety. Similarly, the first 100 names are always much more difficult than the next 900. If you plan to be a skilled gardener, landscape designer, or horticulturist: you need to learn to identify hundreds of different plants. As you have seen earlier; there is a system in identifying plant names. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH PLANT FAMILIES If you can get to know the way the system works, and the broad categories, the whole thing starts to make a great deal more sense. Each new name you confront is able to be associated with things and remembered more easily. FOR EXAMPLE: “When I see a plant with a daisy flower, I immediately know that it is in the Asteraceae family. Even if the genus is new to me, I will be more likely to remember it because I’m not only thinking: This is the genus of this new plant , but I am also thinking: This new genus is in the Asteraceae family. In essence, my brain is registering two pieces of information instead of one and that doubles the likelihood of me remembering the plant. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH LATIN Plant naming is based on the ancient Roman language of Latin.
