Ross National Herbarium of Victoria, Royal Botanic Gardens, Birdwood Avenue, South Yarra 3141, Australia. Abstract An overview is provided of the Western Australian species of Bossiaea. Thirty-eight species are recognised of which the following are described here as new: B. arcuata, B. atrata, B. aurantiaca, B. barbarae, B. barrettiorum, B. calcicola, B. celata, B. eremaea, B. flexuosa, B. inundata, B. laxa, B. saxosa, B. simulata and B. smithiorum. Descriptions, distribution maps, and a key to identification are provided and most species are illustrated. Attention is drawn to a number of entities whose taxonomic status awaits clarification. Lectotypes are selected for B. concinna Benth., B. dentata (R.Br.) Benth. var. latifolia Benth., B. dentata var. hastata Benth., B. disticha Lindl., B. divaricata Turcz., B. eriocarpa Benth., B. eriocarpa var. eriocalyx Benth., B. eriocarpa var. planifolia Domin, B. gilbertii Turcz., B. lalagoides F.Muell., B. linophylla R.Br., B. nervosa Meisn., B. ovalifolia Endl., B. oxyclada Turcz., B. peduncularis Turcz., B. preissii Meisn., B. rigida Turcz., B. sulcata Meisn., B. walkeri F.Muell., B. webbii F.Muell., Lalage acuminata Meisn., L. angustifolia Meisn., L. hoveifolia Benth., L. ornata Lindl., L. stipularis Meisn., Platylobium spinosum Turcz., Scottia angustifolia Lindl., S. dentata R.Br. and S. laevis Lindl.

  • Bauxite Mining Restoration with Natural Soils and Residue Sands: Comparison of the Recovery of Soil Ecosystem Function and Ground-Dwelling Invertebrate Diversity
    School of Molecular and Life Sciences Bauxite Mining Restoration with Natural Soils and Residue Sands: Comparison of the Recovery of Soil Ecosystem Function and Ground-dwelling Invertebrate Diversity Dilanka Madusani Mihindukulasooriya Weerasinghe This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University May 2019 Author’s Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature………………………………………………… Date………………………………………………………... iii Statement of authors’ contributions Experimental set up, data collection, data analysis and data interpretation for Chapter 2, 3,4 and 5 was done by D. Mihindukulasooriya. Experimental set up established by Lythe et al. (2017) used for experimental chapter 6. Data collection, data analysis and data interpretation for long term effect of woody debris addition was done by D. Mihindukulasooriya. iv Abstract Human destruction of the natural environment has been identified as a global problem that has triggered the loss of biodiversity. This degradation and loss has altered ecosystem processes and the resilience of ecosystems to environmental changes. Restoration of degraded habitats forms a significant component of conservation efforts. Open cut mining is one activity that can dramatically alter local communities, and successful vascular plant restoration does not necessarily result in restoration of other components of flora and fauna or result in a fully functioning ecosystem. Therefore, restoration studies should focus on improving ecological functions such as nutrient cycling and litter decomposition, seed dispersal and/ or pollination, and assess community composition beyond vegetation to attain fully functioning systems.

  • Landcorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey
    LandCorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey October 2016 Executive summary Introduction Through the Royalties for Regions “Growing our South” initiative, the Shire of Denmark has received funding to provide a second crossing of the Denmark River, to upgrade approximately 6.5 km of local roads and to support the delivery of an industrial estate adjacent to McIntosh Road. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was commissioned by LandCorp to undertake a biological assessment of the project survey area. The purpose of the assessment was to identify and describe flora, vegetation and fauna within the survey area. The outcomes of the assessment will be used in the environmental assessment and approvals process and will identify the possible need for, and scope of, further field investigations will inform environmental impact assessment of the road upgrades. The survey area is approximately 68.5 ha in area and includes a broad area of land between Scotsdale Road and the Denmark River and the road reserve and adjacent land along East River Road and McIntosh Road between the Denmark Mt Barker Road and South Western Highway. A 200 m section north and south along the Denmark Mt Barker Road from East River Road was also surveyed. The biological assessment involved a desktop review and three separate field surveys, including a winter flora and fauna survey, spring flora and fauna survey and spring nocturnal fauna survey. Fauna surveys also included the use of movement sensitive cameras in key locations. Key biological aspects The key biological aspects and constraints identified for the survey area are summarised in the following table.
