  • Myrtaceous Shrub Species Respond to Long-Term Decreasing Groundwater Levels on the Gnangara Groundwater Mound,Northern Swan Coas
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 83:75-82, 2000 Myrtaceous shrub species respond to long-term decreasing groundwater levels on the Gnangara Groundwater Mound, northern Swan Coastal Plain P K Groom1, R H Froend1, E M Mattiske2 & B Koch3 1 Centre for Ecosystem Management, School of Natural Sciences, Edith Cowan University, 100 Joondalup Drive, Joondalup WA 6027 email: [email protected]; [email protected] 2 Mattiske Consulting Pty Ltd, PO Box 437, Kalamunda WA 6076 email: [email protected] 3 B L Koch Botanical Consultants, 10 Beresford Place, Leeming WA 6149 Manuscript received April 1999; accepted February 2000 Abstract Analysis of four vegetation transects that were established on the Bassendean Dune System, northern Swan Coastal Plain classified 42 native plant species into four ‘habitat’ groups based on their preferred soil moisture regimes (Havel 1968). Using adult abundance and distribution data from three of these transects and an additional transect established in 1976, we investigated the various ecological responses of myrtaceous shrub species representing the four habitat groups to long-term (20-30 yr) decreasing groundwater and soil moisture levels. Myrtaceous shrubs were chosen for analysis because of their widespread occurrence and diversity on the Swan Coastal Plain, and because Myrtaceae is the only plant family to be represented in all four of Havel’s habitat categories. Myrtaceous species ‘tolerant of excessive wetness’ (Astartea fascicularis, Hypocalymma angustifolium, Pericalymma ellipticum, Regelia ciliata) are all shallow rooted (rooting depth < 1m), occur in winter-wet depressions, and displayed the greatest reduction in population size in response to decreasing groundwater levels.

Executive Summary Climate change is likely to have a significant effect on many trees in the City of Melbourne. Some species will perform better, while some will perform worse. The report describes the results of a project exploring the vulnerability of tree species currently planted in the City of Melbourne, and identifies some potential new species that may be more suitable for the City’s climate futures. A list of species combining those currently in the City of Melbourne’s urban forest with those being newly planted in the City of Melbourne was created. The global locations where species occur naturally and are in cultivation (and abundance where available) were compiled from existing datasets, such as ‘open data’ tree inventories and extracted from other published data, from approximately 200 cities around the world.
