This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available.

That scope of services was defined by the requests of the Client, by the time and budgetary constraints imposed by the Client, and by the availability of access to the site. KBR derived the data in this report primarily from examination of records in the public domain and interviews with individuals with information about the site. The passage of time, manifestation of latent conditions or impacts of future events may require further exploration at the site and subsequent data analysis, and re-evaluation of the findings, observations and conclusions expressed in this report. In preparing this report, KBR has relied upon and presumed accurate certain information (or absence thereof) relative to the site and the proposed development provided by government officials and authorities, the Client and others identified herein. Except as otherwise st ated in the report, KBR has not attempted to verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information. The findings, observations and conclusions expressed by KBR in this report are not, and should not be considered, an opinion concerning the significance of environmental impacts.

  • Learn About Eucalypts
    Euclid - Online edition Learn about eucalypts Introduction Eucalypts are almost a defining feature of Australia. They are the dominant tree of the higher rainfall areas of the country, and sparsely represented in the driest regions. There are nearly 900 species which have adapted to nearly every environment. In EUCLID we include the long-standing genus Angophora, which is exclusive to eastern Australia excluding Tasmania, and the recently recognised Corymbia, occurring primarily in northern Australia. See Evolutionary relationships in Eucalyptus sens.lat. for more detail of generic relationships. Eucalypts must have been known by Europeans from the early 16th century when the Portuguese colonised Timor. There are at least two indigenous species, E. alba and E. urophylla on the island. Following the Portuguese occupation, it is probable that eucalypts were established from seed in Brazil which was colonised about the same time, although records are too hazy to confirm this. Eucalyptus came into recorded history in 1788 when the French botanist, L'Héritier de Brutelle, described Eucalyptus obliqua, the well known Messmate of widespread distribution in the wetter regions of the south-east of the continent. This species was named from a specimen collected at Adventure Bay on Tasmania's Bruny Island by David Nelson, one of the botanists on Captain James Cook's third voyage in 1777. Evolution and distribution Eucalypts are likely to have evolved from rainforest precursors in response to great changes in the landscape, soils and climate of the continent. No point of origin is possible to determine but it is assumed to have been on the Australian landmass from which several species have migrated probably by land bridges to islands north of the continent.

  • Flora SECTION 7
    Flora SECTION 7 7 Flora 7.1 Existing Conditions 7.1.1 Species present As part of the PER study, URS commissioned Indicus Biological Consultants Pty Ltd (Indicus) to undertake flora surveys of the project areas on behalf of BOPL. The flora surveys, carried out in May 2006 and March 2007, identified 70 plant species at the Princess Louise mine site, 42 plant species adjacent to the Princess Louise access road, 66 plant species at the North Point mine site, and 72 plant species adjacent to the North Point access road. Overall a total of 136 plant species were recorded. A complete list of the species identified at each site is presented in Table 7.1. Historical mining and more recent exploration activities have resulted in considerable disturbance to all sites, so there is relatively low species diversity in the area. Several weed species were identified across all sites. 7.1.2 Vegetation communities The vegetation community on all uncleared sites is described as eucalyptus open forest with grass understorey, dominated by Eucalyptus tectifica (northern box) (Wilson et al 1990). Mid-storey species include Petalostigma spp. (quinine tree), Gardenia megasperma , and Terminalia ferdinandiana (billygoat plum). This vegetation community is very widely represented in the Top End, covering an estimated total 49,875 km 2 (Wilson et al 1990). Other common tree species recorded included E. miniata (Darwin woolly butt) and E. tetrodonta (stringybark) (Indicus 2007). 7.1.3 Vegetation types to be disturbed The total proposed areas of disturbance for mining and related site infrastructure are 6.8 ha at Princess Louise and 16.1 ha at North Point, for a total area of 22.8 ha.

Pollen tube growth rates (PTGRs) of angiosperms are exceptionally rapid, a pattern 25 attributed to more effective haploid selection under stronger pollen competition. Paradoxically, 26 whole genome duplication (WGD) has been common in angiosperms but rare in gymnosperms.
