  • Chapter 1: General Introduction
    Chapter 1: General introduction Chapter 1: General Introduction 1.1 Introduction The biogeochemical cycling of key elements within ecosystems is comprised of a complex array of abiotic and biotic processes. The stoichiometry or the mass-balance of elements is a measure of their total mass present within an ecosystem. Ecological stoichiometry theory recognizes that the ratio of ecosystem elements controls the rates of the biotic ecological processes which recycle these elements (Sterner & Elser 2002, Cross et al. 2005). However, the rates at which these ecological processes occur can also be influenced by many other abiotic parameters and processes. At the basal level of aquatic systems, autotrophic and heterotrophic communities are responsible for some of the main biotic processes that control the cycling of the key ecosystem elements, carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) (Sterner & Elser 2002, Cross et al. 2005). Photosynthesis is the dominant process that produces carbon, while autotrophic respiration or the heterotrophic decomposition of organic matter are the main pathways for carbon utilisation in aquatic systems. As both of these processes require N and P, the concentrations at which they are available to consumers will control the rate at which these elements are retained and recycled within the system (Sterner & Elser 2002, Cross et al. 2005). In lotic systems, the cycling of key elements is also controlled through abiotic ecosystem processes and their interaction with biotic processes (Brookes et al. 2005). The main abiotic factors that can affect the biotic process of autotrophic production in streams are light (Bunn et al. 1999, Bott et al. 2006), substrate (Cardinale et al.

  • Turill 1 Core Hole Is Designed to Investigate the Hydrocarbon Potential of PEL 456
    Review of Environmental Factors Core Hole Drilling of Turill No. 1 in PEL 456 - Gunnedah Basin Santos QNT Pty Ltd ABN: 33 083 077 196 Issue date: 04/05/2010 Review of Environmental Factors: Gunnedah Basin Core Hole Drilling: PEL 456 Executive Summary Santos QNT Pty Ltd (Santos) has entered into a Farmin Agreement with the titleholder of PEL 456, Macquarie Energy (Macquarie) to explore for petroleum (in accordance with the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 (NSW)). Santos has been appointed the Operator for and on behalf of the titleholder under the Farmin Agreement. Condition 1.0 of the PEL 456 licence states that prior to carrying out any drilling activities a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) is required to be submitted to the Department of Industry and Investment (DII) to enable a determination to be made under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW). The Turill 1 core hole is designed to investigate the hydrocarbon potential of PEL 456. Discovery of gas resources in this area has the potential to increase the state’s reserves and revenue from coal seam gas and underpin future exploration or production in the region. This REF covers the drilling of Turill 1 core hole only. The Turill No. 1 core hole site is located on privately owned land, zoned General Rural 1(a) under the Merriwa Local Environmental Plan (LEP). The REF provides details of the planning controls for the area and the existing environment. The site proposed for Turill 1 is a privately owned rural property in a gently undulating area, which is presently used for agricultural activities.

  • Upper Hunter River and Dam Levels
    Upper Hunter river and dam levels UPPER Hunter river levels have risen after significant rainfall and periods of flash flooding brought on by a combination of higher than average rainfall and thunderstorms during December 2020. See river and dam levels below Although the Hunter has not been on constant flood watch compared to north coast areas, there has been enough downpour and thunderstorms to bring flash flooding to the region. The La Niña weather event brought initial widespread rainfall and more thunderstorms are predicted throughout January 2021. Level 2 water restrictions are to remain for Singleton water users, with the Glennies Creek Dam level currently sitting at 43.4 percent. Dam levels: Glennies Creek Dam: Up 0.5 percent capacity compared to last week. Now 43.4 percent full and contains 123,507 millilitres of water; Lockstock Dam: Down 3.9 percent capacity compared to last week.

  • The Vegetation of Granitic Outcrop Communities on the New England Batholith of Eastern Australia
    547 The vegetation of granitic outcrop communities on the New England Batholith of eastern Australia John T. Hunter and Peter J. Clarke Hunter, John T. and Clarke, Peter J. (Division of Botany, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2350) 1998. The vegetation of granitic outcrop communities on the New England Batholith of eastern Australia. Cunninghamia 5 (3): 547–618. The vegetation of 22 areas of granitic outcrops on the New England Batholith has been surveyed using semi-quantitative quadrat sampling. In total 399 0.1 ha quadrats were placed on 216 outcrops. Twenty-eight plant communities in nine major groups and an additional unsurveyed community are circumscribed. A high number of nationally rare or threatened taxa, many of which are restricted to outcrop areas, have been found in these communities along with many taxa of special note. Previous studies have over-emphasised structure which can vary considerably with negligible floristic change. Suggestions are made on potential areas for reservation. Introduction Studies concentrating on the vegetation of granitic outcrops have been undertaken throughout the world (e.g. Whitehouse 1933; Oosting & Anderson 1937; McVaugh 1943; Keever et al. 1951; Keever 1957; Hambler 1964; Murdy et al. 1970; Sharitz & McCormick 1973; Rundel 1975; Shure & Fagsdale 1977; Wyatt 1977; Phillips 1981; Phillips 1982; Wyatt 1981; Baskin & Baskin 1982; Walters 1982; Burbanck & Phillips 1983; Wyatt 1984a, b; Uno & Collins 1987; Baskin & Baskin 1988; Houle & Phillips 1988; Houle & Phillips 1989a, b; Houle 1990; Porembski et al. 1994; Ibisch et al. 1995; Porembski 1995; Porembski et al. 1996). Research into outcrops, and in particular granitic outcrops, has culminated in the formation of the ‘Inselberg-Projeckt’ supported by the Deutsche Forschungsge-meinschaft (Porembski et al.
