  • Proteaceae (Banksia Species)
    Proteaceae (Banksia Species) Information: 90% of all Banksia species occur in South Western Australia. The two most com- mon Banksia species in the Perth region are the Firewood Banksia (Banksia menziesii) and the Slender or Candle Banksia (Banksia attenuata). These two species each flower throughout the two halves of the year and are an important source of food for countless animals. Large Banksias such as these as well as B. grandis, B. ilicifolia B. Prionotes and B. littoralis produce an abun- dance of nectar from their large flower spikes that sustain countless species and have traditionally been used as a source of food and drink by indigenous Australians. Banksias are highly adapted to a nutrient poor environment with harsh, dry climate having sunken stomata to preserve water and cluster roots to enhance nutrient uptake in Phosphorus deficient soils. Firewood Banksia (Banksia menziesii) with parasitic ’witches broom’ (insert) Pictures by A. Price Candle Banksia (Banksia attenuata) feeding a Honey Possum (Tarsipes rostratus) Picture courtesy of Kwongan Foundation Associated Life: Many animals drink nectar from Banksia flower heads including Perching birds such as Honeyeaters, Spinebills, robins and Wagtails as well as the Honey Possum, the worlds only nectarvorious marsupial. Bull Banksia European Honeybees are commonly (Banksia Grandis) found in or near flower spikes as are wee- vils and jewel beetles. Picture courtesy of Friends of Queens Park Bushland The seeds of the B.grandis are eaten by Carnaby’s black-cockatoo and the red- capped parrot. The Twig-mound ant builds its nest at the base of B. ilicifolia. Some moth species larvae burrow into Banksia cones and leaves.

  • Seedling Water Stress Response of Two Sandplain Banksia Speciesdiffering
    JournalJournal of Mediterranean of Mediterranean Ecology Ecology vol.3, vol.3, No. 4No. 2002: 4 2002 3-9 © Firma Effe Publisher, Reggio Emilia, I Seedling water stress response of two sandplain Banksia species differing in ability to tolerate drought Philip K. Groom Centre for Ecosystem Management, School of Natural Sciences, Edith Cowan University, 100 Joondalup Drive, Joondalup 6027, Western Australia Current contact details: Centre for Horticulture and Plant Sciences, University of Western Sydney, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith South DC, NSW 1797, Australia - Fax: + 61 2 4570 1314 - E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Banksia, drought tolerance, sandplain, soil moisture content, stomatal conductance, water stress Abstract Effects of water stress on xylem water potential, stomatal conductance and growth were assessed experimentally on 7- month-old seedlings of Banksia menziesii R.Br. (Firewood Banksia) and Banksia littoralis R.Br. (Swamp Banksia) (Pro- teaceae) grown in 1 m deep tubes filled with course sand and subjected to 140 days of drought. Both are tree species of the sandplains of mediterranean southwestern Australia. B. littoralis is restricted to low-lying, winter damp areas, inclu- ding the fringe of seasonal and permanent wetlands, whereas B. menziesii inhabits a range of habitats ranging from mid- upper slopes of deep, sandy dunes to dune crests. It was hypothesised that differences in their water relations and growth responses would reveal drought adaptation attributes that relates to their contrasting habitat preferences. For both spe- cies drought caused significant decreases in stomatal conductance and predawn xylem water potential. B. menziesii seedlings had a low stomatal conductance (< 0.1 mol m-2 s-1) and exhibited a desiccation avoidance response to drought by maintaining relatively higher water potential.

  • For Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics Manuscript Draft
    Elsevier Editorial System(tm) for Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics Manuscript Draft Manuscript Number: PPEES-D-15-00109R1 Title: Bird pollinators, seed storage and cockatoo granivores explain large woody fruits as best seed defense in Hakea Article Type: Research paper Section/Category: Keywords: Black cockatoo; Crypsis; Fruit and seed size; Granivory; Resprouter; Spinescence Corresponding Author: Prof. Byron Lamont, Corresponding Author's Institution: Curtin University First Author: Byron Lamont Order of Authors: Byron Lamont; Byron Lamont; Mick Hanley; Philip Groom Abstract: Nutrient-impoverished soils with severe summer drought and frequent fire typify many Mediterranean-type regions of the world. Such conditions limit seed production and restrict opportunities for seedling recruitment making protection from granivores paramount. Our focus was on Hakea, a genus of shrubs widespread in southwestern Australia, whose nutritious seeds are targeted by strong-billed cockatoos. We assessed 56 Hakea species for cockatoo damage in 150 populations spread over 900 km in relation to traits expected to deter avian granivory: dense spiny foliage; large, woody fruits; fruit crypsis via leaf mimicry and shielding; low seed stores; and fruit clustering. We tested hypothesises centred on optimal seed defenses in relation to to a) pollination syndrome (bird vs insect), b) fire regeneration strategy (killed vs resprouting) and c) on-plant seed storage (transient vs prolonged). Twenty species in 50 populations showed substantial seed loss from cockatoo granivory. No subregional trends in granivore damage or protective traits were detected, though species in drier, hotter areas were spinier. Species lacking spiny foliage around the fruits (usually bird-pollinated) had much larger (4−5 times) fruits than those with spiny leaves and cryptic fruits (insect-pollinated).

  • Seedling Growth and Physiological Responses of Two Sandplain Banksia Species Differing in Flood Tolerance
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 87:115–121, 2004 Seedling growth and physiological responses of two sandplain Banksia species differing in flood tolerance P K Groom Centre for Ecosystem Management, School of Natural Sciences, Edith Cowan University, 100 Joondalup Drive, Joondalup, WA 6027 Current address: Centre for Horticulture and Plant Sciences, University of Western Sydney, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith South DC, NSW 1797 [email protected] (Manuscript received: March 2004; accepted February 2005) Abstract Banksia littoralis (Proteaceae) inhabits winter-wet locations and wetland fringes that are prone to seasonal flooding events on the Swan Coastal Plain. To survive in these locations, B. littoralis seedlings must be able to tolerate periods of flooding or complete submergence if establishment is to be successful. Flood tolerance was assessed in seedlings of B. littoralis subjected to 104 days of continual soil waterlogging by comparing changes in seedling growth and leaf ecophysiology with those of well-watered plants. Flood tolerance was also assessed in seedlings of Banksia prionotes, a species that grows in drier locations on the Swan Coastal Plain. As expected, B. prionotes was unable to survive long periods of soil waterlogging or submergence (97% mortality after 72 days of flooding). Both species responded to flooding by closing their stomates and reducing photosynthetic capacity, although B. littoralis was able to recover lost photosynthetic potential when flooded conditions subsided. After 72 days of flooding, there was a substantial decrease in relative growth rate in flooded B. prionotes seedlings, compared to that of well-watered plants, although this was not associated with significant differences in biomass allocation.

  • Foliar Nutrient-Allocation Patterns in Banksia Attenuata and Banksia
    Foliar nutrient-allocation patterns in Banksia attenuata and Banksia sessilis differing in growth rate and adaptation to low-phosphorus habitats Zhongming Han1, Jianmin Shi2, Jiayin Pang3, Li Yan4, Patrick Finnegan4, and Hans Lambers3 1Jilin Agricultural University 2Jiangxi Agricultural University 3The University of Western Australia 4University of Western Australia June 24, 2020 Abstract We compared the use of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) in slow-growing Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae), which resprouts after fire and naturally occurs on deep sand, with faster-growing opportunistic B. sessilis, which is killed by fire and occurs on shallow sand over laterite or limestone. We carried out pot experiments with plants on substrates with different P availability. We measured foliar nutrient concentrations, and P allocated to major biochemical fractions. The two species had similar foliar total P concentrations, but distinct patterns of P allocation to P-containing fractions. The foliar total N concentration of B. sessilis was greater than that of B. attenuata on all substrates. The foliar total P and N concentrations in both species decreased with decreasing P availability. The relative growth rate of both species was positively correlated with both foliar nucleic acid P and total N concentrations, but there was no correlation with other P and N fractions. Faster-growing B. sessilis allocated more P to nucleic acids than B. attenuata did, but other fractions were similar. We conclude that the nutrient-allocation patterns in faster-growing opportunistic B. sessilis and slower-growing B. attenuata revealed different strategies in response to soil P availability, which matched their contrasting growth strategy. INTRODUCTION Understanding strategies of nutrient allocation and their underlying mechanisms in plants adapted to phos- phorus (P)-impoverished soils is an important topic in plant physiological ecology (Lambers et al.
