Foreword Here on our healthy, smart, creative Sunshine Coast we are blessed with a wonderful environment. It is central to our way of life and a major reason why our 320,000 residents choose to live here – and why we are joined by millions of visitors each year. Although our region is experiencing significant population growth, we are dedicated to not only keeping but enhancing the outstanding characteristics that make this such a special place in the world. Our trees are the lungs of the Sunshine Coast and I am delighted that council has endorsed this master plan to increase the number of street trees across our region to balance our built environment. -

IFE AND WlLDLl ITAT OF AMERICAN SA VIRONMENT AND ECOLO By A. Binion Amerson, Jr., W. Arthur Whistler, and Terry D. Schwaner Environment Consultants, Inc., Dallas, Texas Edited by Richard C. Banks U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Washington, D.C. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF T E INTERIOR FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Washington, D.C. e 1982 Foreword A survey of the status of the wildlife and wildlife habitat of American Samoa. an unincorporated Territory of the United States. was recommended by administrative officials of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in the early 1970s .Environ- ment Consultants. Inc . (ECI). based in Dallas. Texas. was selected to conduct a 2-year survey with A .Binion Amerson. Jr., as Principal Investigator . The contract was administered through the Division of Federal Aid in FWS Region I. Portland. Oregon . The primary objectives of the survey were (1) to define the major ecosystems and to inventory their physical components. vegetation. and wildlife constituents; (2) to prepare maps of these ecosystems; (3) to identify any threatened or endangered species of wildlife; and (4) to recommend wildlife management opportunities and needs . The report of the survey was to be in two parts . The first was to be a non-technical account suitable for wide general distribution; the second was to include the technical aspects of the data and data gathering. with accounts of the wildlife species . This volume represents the first part of ECI's report . The final report submitted by ECI contained more than 1. 200 pages. 200 figures. and 110 tables. many of thelatter several pages long . -

Academic Editor: Jürg Bähler Received: 3 March 2015 / Accepted: 6 May 2015 / Published: 14 May 2015 Abstract: Plants of the Lauraceae family are widely used in traditional medicine and are sources of various classes of secondary metabolites. Two genera of this family, Beilschmiedia and Endiandra, have been the subject of numerous investigations over the past decades because of their application in traditional medicine. They are the only source of bioactive endiandric acid derivatives. Noteworthy is that their biosynthesis contains two consecutive non-enzymatic electrocyclic reactions. Several interesting biological activities for this specific class of secondary metabolites and other constituents of the two genera have been reported, including antimicrobial, enzymes inhibitory and cytotoxic properties. This review compiles information on the structures of the compounds described between January 1960 and March 2015, their biological activities and information on endiandric acid biosynthesis, with 104 references being cited. -

Species Selection Guidelines Tree Species Selection
Species selection guidelines Tree species selection This section of the plan provides guidance around the selection of species for use as street trees in the Sunshine Coast Council area and includes region-wide street tree palettes for specific functions and settings. More specific guidance on signature and natural character palettes and lists of trees suitable for use in residential streets for each of the region's 27 Local plan areas are contained within Part B – Street tree strategies of the plan. Street tree palettes will be periodically reviewed as an outcome of street tree trials, the development of new species varieties and cultivars, or the advent of new pest or disease threats that may alter the performance and reliability of currently listed species. The plan is to be used in association with the Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Landscape Infrastructure Manual where guidance for tree stock selection (in line with AS 2303–2018 Tree stock for landscape use) and tree planting and maintenance specifications can be found. For standard advanced tree planting detail, maintenance specifications and guidelines for the selection of tree stock see also the Sunshine Coast Open Space Landscape Infrastructure Manual – Embellishments – Planting Landscape). The manual's Plant Index contains a comprehensive list of all plant species deemed suitable for cultivation in Sunshine Coast amenity landscapes. For specific species information including expected dimensions and preferred growing conditions see Palettes – Planting – Planting index). 94 Sunshine Coast Street Tree Master Plan 2018 Part A Tree nomenclature Strategic outcomes The names of trees in this document follow the • Trees are selected by suitably qualified and International code of botanical nomenclature experienced practitioners (2012) with genus and species given, followed • Tree selection is locally responsive and by the plant's common name. -
