Introduction the Need for New Reserves
Koala Strategy Submissions, PO Box A290, Sydney South NSW 1232, [email protected] CC. [email protected] 2nd March 2017. NPA SUBMISSION: WHOLE OF GOVERNMENT KOALA STRATEGY; SAVING OUR SPECIES DRAFT STRATEGY AND REVIEW OF STATE ENVIRONMENT PLANNING POLICY 44—KOALA HABITAT PROTECTION Introduction The National Parks Association of NSW (NPA), established in 1957, is a community-based organisation with over 20,000 supporters from rural, remote and urban areas across the state. NPA promotes nature conservation and evidence- based natural resource management. We have a particular interest in the protection of the State’s biodiversity and supporting ecological processes, both within and outside of the formal conservation reserve system. NPA has a long history of engagement with both government and non-government organisations on issues of park management. NPA appreciates the opportunity to comment on the whole of government koala strategy (the strategy), the Saving Our Species iconic koala project (the SOS project) and the Explanation of intended effect: State Environment and Planning Policy 44 (Koala Habitat Protection) (SEPP 44). Please note, NPA made a submission on SEPP 44 in late 2016 prior to the deadline being extended which we have reattached at the end of this document (Appendix 1). NPA was also consulted on the SOS programme in August 2016, which we greatly appreciated. We provided OEH with feedback on the programme at that time, which also contained an exploration of issues facing koalas, which we have reattached in Appendix 2. NPA has had significant input to the development of the Stand Up For Nature (SUFN) submission to this consultation. -
The Impact of Herbivorous Insects on Australian Rainforest Tree Canopies
Chapter 16 The impact of herbivorous insects on Australian rainforest tree canopies M.D. Lowman, Department of Ecology, Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, USA formerly of the University of New England, Armidale Summary The leaf-growth dynamics of Australian rainforest tree canopies were studied over a five-year period, to determine the patterns (if any) that existed in growth, mortality, and other aspects relating to phenology and productivity of this plant community. Representative species were selected within each of the three major rainforest formations of New South Wales. These included Nothofagus moorei and Dorphora sassafras in cool temperate rainforest; D. sassafras and Ceratopetalum apetalum in warm temperate rainforest; and Dendrocnide excelsa, Dorphora sassafras, and Toona australis in subtropical rainforest. Because herbivory appeared to have such a profound effect on the survival of rainforest leaves, further investigations were conducted on this aspect of canopy growth dynamics, including herbivore abundance, diversity, and also examination of possible physical and chemical defences of leaves. Several factors were observed that led to variability in herbivory rates within different parts of the canopy: light regime, species, age of leaf, height of leaf in canopy, and sometimes individual tree or site. These factors were examined for each of the five species, with the following results. .Sun leaves were less heavily grazed than shade leaves, and also had greater tannin and phenolic contents, and greater toughness values of leaf tissue. Young leaves were significantly more intensively grazed than old leaves; for example, approximately 51 per cent leaf-area losses were experienced by young N. moorei leaves, compared with less than 1 per cent losses to old leaves. -

Br.; H. actites of coastal regions of southern Queensland and northem New South Wales and H. macrorrhyncha of a localised granite area on the Queensland - New South Wales border, both previously confined with H propinqua Cunn.; H. ochroptera, a northern New South Wales counterpart of H macraeana F. Muell. from the Dorrigo area; two new subspecies of H decurrens R. Br., previously confused with H. sericea Schrad. & J. Wendl., ssp. physocalpa from western and central Victoria, the plant naturalised in South Australia, and ssp. platytaenia of coastal regions of eastem Victoria and south-eastern New South Wales. Of overseas introductions till now all considered to be H. sericea, substantial material has been seen only from South Africa, which is all true H. sericea; the few specimens from other countries indicate that H sericea occurs in New Zealand and Norfolk Island and H decurrens ssp. physocarpa in Portugal.
