Eucalyptus Odorata) Grassy Woodlands
Advice to the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee on Amendments to the List of Ecological Communities under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 1. Name A nomination was received for the Peppermint Box (Eucalyptus odorata) Grassy Woodlands. This ecological community is confined to South Australia. The national ecological community is named the Peppermint Box (Eucalyptus odorata) Grassy Woodland of South Australia ecological community, as this represents the dominant species present, the type of vegetation present and its distribution in South Australia only. 2. Description The Peppermint Box (Eucalyptus odorata) Grassy Woodland of South Australia ecological community is defined by a combination of features. Peppermint Box (Eucalyptus odorata) is the dominant species of the tree canopy. The woodland tree form (a single main trunk at the base with low branches) of Peppermint Box characterises this ecological community as opposed to the whipstick mallee form that is part of a separate ecological community. Other tree species may be present in the canopy but are never as abundant as Peppermint Box and would not be dominant parts of the tree canopy. Other tree species that may be present include Grey Box (E. microcarpa), South Australian Blue Gum (E. leucoxylon), Sugar Gum (E. cladocalyx), Mallee Box (E. porosa), Drooping Sheoak (Allocasuarina verticillata), White Cypress-pine (Callitris glaucophylla) and Southern Cypress-pine (C. preissii). The vegetation structure is an open to dense woodland. The tree canopy comprises low trees, generally 5-10 m tall but sometimes up to 15 m tall, with a typical canopy cover of 5 to 40% which can occasionally reach 70% (Hyde 1996; Robertson 1998).

This paper presents results of Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus funereus on Eyre Peninsula. ,Thirty-eight birds, including four nestlings, were observed. the study using data collected up to May 1984. At least five breeding pairs were detected. The cockatoos were found most often in an area 50 ha in extent of Sugar METHODS Gum Eucalyptus cladocalyx woodland in the Wanilla Field work was conducted in the Wanilla district. They were recorded feeding on seeds of Aleppo Pine Pinus halepensis, Hakea rugosa and larvae extracted Koppio region (Figure 1) on twenty-eight days: from flower spikes of Broad-leaved Yacka Xanthorrhoea 8-12 January; 30 January - 3 February; 13-17 tateana.

Study Group Greetings all, I am taking over the role as the study group leader, and am looking forward to offering a diverse range of material where the common variable amongst all articles will be the genus Eucalyptus . My name is Warwick Varley, and I have been employed within the tree industry for almost 20 years, primarily as an arborist and teacher (TAFE) of arboriculture and horticulture. My interest and passion revolves around trees and the native environment. However Eucalypts have always rendered a particular interest, not only due to their beauty and iconic status within Australia, but due to the regularity with which they arise within my work. This not only prompted me to learn more about the identification of the genus, but also the individual traits offered by the specific species. It is this latter point that intrigues me most, where characteristics (be it wood density, durability, habit, uses, etc.) between the species within the same geographical range can be as different as chalk and cheese. As the group leader I am looking forward to sharing the material I have gathered over the years from my own experience and articles I have filed.

Acacia Pycnantha Benth. Common Names Habit Taxonomy
160 AcaciaSearch Acacia pycnantha Benth. Common Names Golden Wattle and more (see Cunningham et al. 1981). Acacia pycnantha is the official floral emblem of Australia (for details see Boden 1985, Hitchcock 1991 and Whibley & Symon 1992). Habit Shrubs 4–5 m high branching near ground level into 2–3 (–6) main stems, or single-stemmed trees to 8–10 m high, smaller Map 49. Distribution of A. pycnantha. (0.5–1 m tall) and/or spindly in some areas, largest plants occur in wetter areas of the range, the main stems are typically straight to sub-straight with few lateral branches and measure about 10–25 cm dbh; crowns terminal; strong, shallow lateral roots are developed, at least on skeletal soils. Bark smooth but aging finely to longitudinally fissured on main stems, especially towards their base, dark brown except pruinose on some forms. Botanical descriptions and illustrations/photographs are provided by Maiden (1908a), Costermans (1981), Cunningham et al. (1981), Tame (1992), Whibley & Symon (1992), Maslin et al. (1998), Maslin (2001 & 2001a) and Kodela (2002). Taxonomy As discussed by Maslin (2001) A. pycnantha is a somewhat variable species. It is normally a tall shrub or tree, but small, spindly forms which flower when 0.5–1 m high sometimes occur (e.g. some plants in the Bendigo ‘Whipstick’ forest, Victoria). Plants with pruinose stems and branches are scattered throughout the range (e.g. the most northerly populations in South Australia). Costermans (1981) records two forms from Victoria, namely, plants from open forests with dark green shiny phyllodes and golden flower-heads, and plants from mallee areas with paler, dull, narrower phyllodes and paler coloured flower-heads.

Survival and Long-Term Growth of Eucalypts on Semi-Arid Sites in a Mediterranean Climate, South Africa

The trails tested the survival and growth of several eucalypt species and hybrids, some of which were established in a climate that is drier than their natural distribution range. The aridity indices (AI; defined as mean annual precipitation [MAP]/mean annual potential evapotranspiration) ranged from 0.21 to 0.36 and MAP from 228 to 423 mm. The driest trial site (AI = 0.21 and MAP = 228) had high levels of mortality. However, a number of species (in particular, Eucalyptus gomphocephala, E. camaldulensis and E. tereticornis, as well as individual hybrids of the latter two species with E. grandis) survived and grew well at the remaining sites. Eucalyptus cladocalyx survived well and attained competitive growth rates only on the wettest site in the group (AI = 0.36). The dominant height of the top-performing genotypes at age 5 ranged between 9 and 10 m on the two wetter sites.

DIVERSITY, REPRODUCTION, and POTENTIAL for INVASIVENESS of EUCALYPTUS in CALIFORNIA Biological Sciences Department, Cal Poly, 1
MADRON˜ O, Vol. 56, No. 3, pp. 155–167, 2009 DIVERSITY, REPRODUCTION, AND POTENTIAL FOR INVASIVENESS OF EUCALYPTUS IN CALIFORNIA MATT RITTER AND JENN YOST Biological Sciences Department, Cal Poly, 1 Grand Ave., San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 [email protected] ABSTRACT In the 150 yr since their introduction to the state, species in the genus Eucalyptus have become the most common non-native trees in California. A clearer understanding of the ability of different species to reproduce in the state is important for how we monitor the ecological impact of these abundant non-native trees and for predicting possible future invasions. Here we present current data on the diversity of Eucalyptus in California, which species are spontaneously reproducing, or have the potential to do so, where they can be found, how they can be identified, and our analysis, based on herbarium and field observations, of the potential ecological impacts of various species in the locations where they have been introduced. We also present a new dichotomous identification key, and botanical drawings of all naturalized species. We discuss the degree to which factors such as life history traits, commonness of planting, and native range influence reproductive behaviors of different species. Key Words: Australia, California, Eucalyptus, invasive, key, naturalization, weed. The genus Eucalyptus L’ He´r.
