Ruthrof, Giles St. J. Hardy Centre of Excellence for Climate Change Woodland and Forest Health, Murdoch University, Perth, Australia Email: [email protected] Received June 7th, 2012; revised July 10th, 2012; accepted July 25th, 2012 Ecosystems in Mediterranean climate regions are projected to undergo considerable changes as a result of shifting climate, including from extreme drought and heat events. A severe and sudden dieback event, occurring in regionally significant Eucalyptus gomphocephala woodland in Western Australia, coincided with extreme drought and heat conditions in early 2011. Using a combination of remote sensing and field- based approaches, we characterized the extent and severity of canopy dieback following the event, as well as highlighted potential predisposing site factors. An estimated 500 ha of woodland was severely affected between February and March 2011. Tree foliage rapidly discolored and died over this period. In the af- fected portion of the woodland, approximately 90% of trees greater than 20 cm DBH were impacted, while in the adjacent unaffected woodland 6% showed signs of damage. Tree density in the unaffected area had approximately 4.5 times more trees than the affected woodland. Precipitation drainage patterns are thought to explain the difference between affected and unaffected woodland.

    The Pharmacological and Therapeutic Importance of Eucalyptus Species Grown in Iraq

Eucalypts contained volatile oils which occurred in many parts of the plant, depending on the species, but in the leaves that oils were most plentiful. The main constituent of the volatile oil derived from fresh leaves of Eucalyptus species was 1,8-cineole. The reported content of 1,8-cineole varies for 54-95%. The most common constituents co-occurring with 1,8- cineole were limonene, α-terpineol, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, globulol and α , β and ϒ-eudesmol, and aromatic constituents. The pharmacological studies revealed that Eucalypts possessed gastrointestinal, antiinflammatory, analgesic, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, insecticidal, repellent, oral and dental, dermatological, nasal and many other effects. The current review highlights the chemical constituents and pharmacological and therapeutic activities of Eucalyptus species grown in Iraq. Keywords: Eucalyptus species, constituents, pharmacological, therapeutic I. INTRODUCTION: In the last few decades there has been an exponential growth in the field of herbal medicine. It is getting popularized in developing and developed countries owing to its natural origin and lesser side effects. Plants are a valuable source of a wide range of secondary metabolites, which are used as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavours, fragrances, colours, biopesticides and food additives [1-50].

    Is tuart (Eucalyptus gomphocephala) decline detrimental for fauna? Jacobus Johannes Wentzel BSc (Hons) (Wildlife Management) MSc (Wildlife Management) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 i Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... Jacobus Johannes Wentzel ii ABSTRACT Tree declines, characterised by gradual but widespread loss of vigour and subsequent death of either single or several tree species, are a global phenomenon with landscape-scale consequences. Tree declines can be caused by a wide range of biotic (e.g. pests and pathogens) and abiotic (e.g. salinity and drought) factors. In turn, both biotic and abiotic elements of the environment are modified as a result of tree decline. Despite the massive scale of these changes, the effects of tree decline upon fauna are not clearly understood and are still poorly researched. For example, empirical evidence exists for the effects of tree declines upon fauna only in a handful of bird, small mammal and reptile studies, conducted mainly in North America. The majestic tuart (Eucalyptus gomphocephala) tree once dominated the Swan Coastal Plain in Western Australia (WA). Today, tuart woodlands occur over less than a third of their former range, and the remnant woodlands are heavily affected by decline of unknown cause(s). This study examines the effect of tuart decline upon reptiles, birds and mammals. Research was conducted in twenty-four 1-ha sites in Yalgorup National Park.
