Land Unit Master Land Unit Information Sheet Land system name: Moondah Land unit: MH3 General description This is a complex land unit where the soils and associated vegetation show considerable variation over short distances. Both land units MH1 and MH2 are represented, but the most common soil-vegetation association is the self-mulching grey Vertosol (uniform cracking clay) with mid-high woodlands of Acacia cambagei (gidgee), and an understorey of Astrebla lappacea (curly Mitchell grass) and Bothriochloa ewartiana (desert bluegrass). Some areas have brown Sodosols (texture- contrast soils with sodic subsoils) and although the diversity of plant species may differ, gidgee remains dominant. A. argyrodendron (blackwood) appears in significant proportions in the southern portion of this land system where the clays have a high salt content in the subsoil. Regional ecosystems 10.4.5 and 10.4.8 are predominant, but significant areas of 10.4.1 and 10.5.11 are common.

    Land Unit Information Sheet Land system name: Ludgate Land unit: LE3 General description This land unit represents the numerous shallow closed depressions, which occur throughout the Ludgate land system and range in size from hundreds of hectares to very small, so small that they cannot be delineated at a map scale of 1:100 000. Grey Vertosols (uniform, cracking clay soils) are predominant, however the area and depth of clay seem to have a major influence on the density and composition of the native vegetation. Acacia cambagei (gidgee), A. farnesiana (mimosa bush), Eucalyptus coolabah (coolabah), Eremophila bignoniiflora (eurah) together with Astrebla species (Mitchell grass) and Brachyachne convergens (native couch) are common on the deep, self-mulching clay soils, whereas the smaller areas with shallow clays, and slightly saline areas tend to have only coolabah, mimosa bush and a ground cover of annual plant species. Invariably, Eucalyptus brownii (Reid River box) and E. whitei (White's ironbark) fringe the depressions. Regional ecosystem 10.3.15 is predominant. Site characteristics Landform element Average slope Plain 0% Site drainage Soil permeability Poorly drained Slowly permeable Flooding risk Inundation risk Low Very high Potential recharge to groundwater Soil depth Low Variable; >1,5m Present land use Grazing, wetlands Susceptibility to land degradation processes Sheet erosion Gully erosion Wind erosion Salting Very low Very low Low High This information has been generated from the Desert Uplands Land Resource Database.

  • Palatability of Plants to Camels (DBIRD NT)
    Technote No. 116 June 2003 Agdex No: 468/62 ISSN No: 0158-2755 The Palatability of Central Australian Plant Species to Camels Dr B. Dorges, Dr J. Heucke, Central Australian Camel Industry Association and R. Dance, Pastoral Division, Alice Springs BACKGROUND About 600,000 camels (Camelus dromedarius) are believed to inhabit the arid centre of Australia, mainly in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Most of these camels are feral. A small camel industry has developed, which harvests selected animals for domestic and export markets, primarily for meat. Camels can eat more than 80% of the common plant species found in Central Australia. Some plant species are actively sought by camels and may need to be protected. METHOD Observations of grazing preferences by camels were made periodically for up to 12 years on five cattle stations in Central Australia. Where camels were accustomed to the presence of humans, it was possible to observe their grazing preferences from a few metres. Radio transmitters were fitted on some camels for easy detection and observation at any time. These evaluations were used to establish a diet preference or palatability index for observed food plants. Table 1. Palatability index for camels Index Interpretation 1 only eaten when nothing else is available 2 rarely eaten 3 common food plant 4 main food plant at times 5 preferred food plant 6 highly preferred food plant 7 could be killed by camel browsing More information can be obtained from the web site of the Central Australian Camel Industry Association http://www.camelsaust.com.au 2 RESULTS Table 2.

  • Vegetation of Culgoa National Park, Central Northern New South Wales
    275 Vegetation of Culgoa National Park, central northern New South Wales John T. Hunter School of Human and Environmental Studies, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. Email: [email protected] Abstract: The vegetation of Culgoa National Park (22 986 ha in area; 29°15’ S, 147°15’ E) in the central north of New South Wales, approximately 40 km west of Goodooga and adjoining the NSW/Queensland border, is described. Six vegetation communities are delineated based on UPGMA analysis of cover-abundance scores of all vascular plant taxa. These communities are mapped based on ground truthing and air photo interpretation. All communities are simple in structure being primarily woodlands, shrublands and grasslands. Communities described are: 1) Eucalyptus coolabah Woodlands, 2) Muehlenbeckia florulenta Shrubby Thickets, 3) Eucalyptus coolabah – Acacia pendula Woodlands & Grasslands, 4) Eucalyptus largiflorens – Eucalyptus coolabah Woodlands, 5) Eucalyptus largiflorens – Alectryon oleifolius Woodlands, 6) Callitris glaucophylla – Eucalyptus populnea Woodlands and Shrublands. A total of 240 vascular plant taxa were found of which 8% were exotic in origin. Conservation issues are discussed. Cunninghamia (2005) 9(2): 275–284 Introduction 1947 (Gentilli 1971). Since that time the rainfall has been substantially higher and there has been an increase in the Culgoa National Park (29°15’ S, 147°15’ E) is located near amount of summer rainfall (Pickard & Norris 1994). There Weilmoringle, in the central north of New South Wales, are long hot summers and short cold winters. The average approximately 40 km west of Goodooga and 80 km north maximum and minimum temperatures for summer are 36°C of Brewarrina.
