82 A biodiversity monitoring program for Gippsland Plains Grassy Woodland remnants of the East Gippsland Red Gum Plains Appendix 8.2 Gippsland Plains Grassy Woodland – species list (see Section 3 of this report) Nomenclature for vascular plants follows Walsh and Entwisle (eds.) (1994), (1996) and (1999), and Ross and Walsh (2003). Common or vernacular names follow Walsh and Entwisle (eds.) (1994), (1996) and (1999) with updates from the Flora Information System (2005). Plants are arranged alphabetically within the Ferns, Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons. An asterisk (*) denotes an alien or exotic species. The # symbol denotes taxa indigenous to Victoria which, since European occupation are found outside their former geographic range. The letters ‘r’ and ‘v’ denote the Victorian Rare or Threatened (VROT) species classifications presented in Ross and Walsh (2003). The letter ‘r’ denotes a taxon listed as rare in Victoria, and ‘v’ denotes a taxon listed as vulnerable in Victoria. The plant species list created from survey data is not presented as a complete flora list for the Bairnsdale area as other species could be added if sampling was undertaken at different times of the year. Sampling flora over a relatively brief period of the year (November - January) is likely to miss some annual, seasonally-dormant, ephemeral, inconspicuous or rare plant species.

92 A biodiversity monitoring program for Gippsland Plains Grassy Woodland remnants of the East Gippsland Red Gum Plains Appendix 8.3 Gippsland Plains Grassy Woodland – species frequency (see Section 3) Nomenclature for vascular plants follows Walsh and Entwisle (eds.) (1994), (1996) and (1999), and Ross and Walsh (2003). Common or vernacular names follow Walsh and Entwisle (eds.) (1994), (1996) and (1999) with updates from the Flora Information System (2005). An asterisk (*) denotes an alien or exotic species. The # symbol denotes taxa indigenous to Victoria which, since European occupation are found outside their former geographic range. The letters ‘r’ and ‘v’ denote the Victorian Rare or Threatened (VROT) species classifications presented in Ross and Walsh (2003). The letter ‘r’ denotes a taxon listed as rare in Victoria, and ‘v’ denotes a taxon listed as vulnerable in Victoria. The plant species list created from survey data is not presented as a complete flora list for the Bairnsdale area as other species could be added if sampling was undertaken at different times of the year. Sampling flora over a relatively brief period of the year (November – January) is likely to miss some annual, seasonally-dormant, ephemeral, inconspicuous or rare plant species.

A biodiversity monitoring program for Gippsland Plains Grassy Woodland remnants of the East Gippsland Red Gum Plains 99 Appendix 8.4 Gippsland Plains Grassy Woodland – list of species by quadrat (Section 3) Nomenclature for vascular plants follows Walsh and Entwisle (eds.) (1994), (1996) and (1999), and Ross and Walsh (2003). Common or vernacular names follow Walsh and Entwisle (eds.) (1994), (1996) and (1999) with updates from the Flora Information System (2005). An asterisk (*) denotes an alien or exotic species. The # symbol denotes taxa indigenous to Victoria which, since European occupation are found outside their former geographic range. The letters ‘r’ and ‘v’ denote the Victorian Rare or Threatened (VROT) species classifications presented in Ross and Walsh (2003). The letter ‘r’ denotes a taxon listed as rare in Victoria, and ‘v’ denotes a taxon listed as vulnerable in Victoria. The plant species list created from survey data is not presented as a complete flora list for the Bairnsdale area as other species could be added if sampling was undertaken at different times of the year. Sampling flora over a relatively brief period of the year (November – January) is likely to miss some annual, seasonally-dormant, ephemeral, inconspicuous or rare plant species.

Comments: Area 01M had low structural diversity (older tree regrowth forest with grassy understorey) and low bird diversity with no hollow- nesting species. In comparison, Area 02S had dense tree regeneration and scrub layers, and was adjacent to other types of bush and to a road reserve with many large old trees. This area had many birds and species of other taxa. Area 01E was intermediate in structural and bird diversity. Site 02 had large numbers of large trees, but the three survey areas differed in many other ways. Area 01E was heavily grazed regenerating grassy woodland with scattered understorey trees and shrubs and surrounded by farmland. The other areas were surrounded by forest with dense Lomandra understorey. Area 02N was near other forest. Area 02W had large areas of bare ground in swales. The first site had many open-country birds but low overall diversity. The other sites had more diversity, notably many hollow-nesting species. The structural differences within the two sites precluded comparisons of management.

Comments: One corner of site 03 (Area 03C) was lightly grazed by travelling sheep. The three survey areas were structurally similar, with some tree regeneration and understorey trees, plus older trees with some hollows. Area 03C had greater numbers of birds of both open-country (associated with proximity to edge) and forest species (including flocks of small birds in autumn). As with Area 01M, Area 03E had a dense overstorey of young Forest Red Gums but less diversity of structure and few old trees, and fewer birds than other areas within site 03. Site 04 was moderately grazed by cattle. One area (Area 04M) was excluded from analysis of survey areas. The two survey areas had more open overstorey than site 03, but differed widely from site 03 and each other in structure, floristics and the amounts of edge with other forest and farmland. Area 04E had no open-country birds and a much wider diversity of forest birds. Comparison of the management regimes of these sites are precluded by these other differences.

Comments: Site 05 consisted of two small patches of Forest Red Gum Grassy Woodland separated by large areas of other forest types, and would be better classed as a large patch. Area 05E was in a broad swale with high structural diversity due to the dense thickets of understorey trees and shrubs and some Lomandra. Area 05W was on a ridge (the only survey area on a ridge in this study). This area also had many patches of shrubs, but more grass and no tussock layer, and more tree diversity including a pine plantation nearby. Bird numbers and diversity (mainly forest species) was very high. In comparison, site 06 consisted of a single patch of Forest Red Gum Grassy Woodland in a depression, some distance from other forest types. Both had large areas of open grassland as well as areas of Lomandra and litter. Structural and floristic diversity was low. The greater abundance of forest (and hollow-nesting) birds was due to lorikeets feeding on autumn-flowering Forest Red Gums. The two sites differed widely in their environment, structure and floristics, precluding analysis of management factors.

Comments: Sites 07 and 09 were only 200 m apart and were small remnants connected by well-vegetated road reserves containing large trees. Thus, so both were effectively part of a medium patch yet were classified as small. However, they differed widely. Site 07 was a remnant unused road reserve incorporated into a paddock, and was still lightly grazed. There were three overstorey species including many large trees and a grassy understorey. Early regeneration of eucalypts (to 2 m high) indicates a recent change in management. Site 09 was at a road junction and within the road reserve, so had received little or no grazing for several years. There were signs of fire in patches. The area had few large trees but adjacent road reserves had several very large old Red Gums. Understorey cover was higher and more diverse, and there was a denser grass and tussock sward compared with site 07. The greater structural diversity was reflected in greater numbers of birds and species. These sites provided a useful comparison between the histories of prolonged grazing and no grazing. However, other past management practices (such as removal of logs and control of regrowth at one site compared with little or no vegetation management at the other site) would need to be considered.

Comments: These sites reflect similar differences in management to sites 07 and 09. Site 08 is close to the large areas of foothill forest to the north. It has been a recreation and school reserve for many years. Part of the site was a school plantation and part is a recreation reserve. It has a history of grazing and burning but not for many years. Understorey cover was dense and diverse, with many Wild Cherries. Grass and litter were abundant. Site 10 was part of a disused rail reserve and station. It has a long history of burning with occasional cattle grazing and has recently been fenced. The two survey areas were very different. Area 10N was a dense stand of tall trees with abundant understorey tree and shrub cover adjacent to road reserves with many old trees. Area 10W was a linear site with grassy woodland to open woodland adjacent to farmland. Despite the large perimeters with farmland, this site had much lower numbers of open-country birds and more diversity of forest species. The differences in management are reflected in the differences in vegetation. However, these differences do not clearly explain the differences in bird abundance and diversity.

Comments: As with the preceding two sites, management has differed widely between these sites. Although a 14 ha reserve, Site 11 consists of only a small area of woodland in an arc up to about 100 m across around a wetland and surrounded by farmland. It is largely surrounded by farmland with only two corridors. The site and the corridors have been grazed and the impact was very severe at the start of this study. There is little structural diversity; some understorey trees and patches of bracken. Most birds were open-country species. Site 12 is another recreation reserve with a pine plantation and a swamp (mostly dry during the study). Area 12E was an arc of Forest Red Gum Grassy Woodland between the swamp and a ridge of other forest types. Understorey consisted of a variety of understorey trees, sedge and grass. This area had a large number of different bird species. Area 12W is an area of overstorey regeneration with dense understorey tree and shrub cover. It also had a large number and diversity of birds. These two sites differ environmentally, with much greater plant community diversity within site 12. They also differ both structurally and in the variety of plants within the Grassy Woodland areas, at least in part due to management history. However, other factors make it difficult to compare the management at the two sites.

Comments: Both sites are predominantly small Forest Red Gum Grassy Woodland remnants surrounded by farmland. Site 13 is a small area that had been heavily grazed (probably as a holding area adjacent to sheep yards) until recently. The site had three overstorey species and did not conform to the strict description of Red Gum woodland. There was little understorey and large areas of bare ground and litter. Most birds were open-country species and there were no forest species. Site 18 was a larger patch of flat country with only Forest Red Gums present in the overstorey. The understorey was predominantly sedge and grass. The patch was adjacent to a rise with a house and garden and remnants of other bushland. Site 01 was about 500m from the site. Most birds were open-country species but there were a few forest species. Again, the local environment and past management history may be determining the differences in bird diversity. Site 18 is a larger patch with more diversity in surrounding country. Until recently, management was similar and hence future comparison may be useful.

Comment: These two sites are both part of a band of Grassy Woodland regrowth separated by a narrow strip of grassland from a road reserve with more floristic and structural diversity (including older trees) than the two sites. Site 14 had been fenced from grazing not long before the start of this study and the impact of grazing was still evident. Apart from two forest birds on site 14 (Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike and Olive-backed Oriole possibly from adjacent road reserves) the two sites had essentially the same bird abundance and diversity. Time is needed to determine if differences will develop with the different management.

Comments: This site was originally paired with adjacent paddocks north and south of the fenced area (Site 16). However, the pairing was not appropriate for birds because the bird counts were not independent of each other (the observer was followed by an Owlet Nightjar from one area to another during spotlight surveys). Also, the vegetation differed widely. The fenced area consisted of dense overstorey regeneration dominated by Noisy Miners. The paddock to the north was mostly open grassland with a dam and a large area of lowland forest on one side, and many forest birds were recorded within the survey area. The paddock to the south consisted of scattered large old Forest Red Gums with many hollows. This area had birds not recorded at other sites including White-bellied Sea-eagle and hollow-nesting Tree Martins as well as large numbers of other hollow-nesting species including Eastern Rosellas and probably the Nightjar.

Comments: These two sites are old road reserves running north-south and only separated by the Princes Highway. Both sites had a higher proportion of Red Box suggesting different environmental conditions from other sites. Site 19 is about one km long surrounded by farmland (with a large garden and shed area providing shelter and some spilt stock food). It was heavily grazed during the study. The site has little understorey. Most birds were open-country species, but a group of White-winged Choughs were regularly seen at the site. Site 20 is also about one km long and surrounded by paddocks, but has a larger patch of trees at the northern end. The site has been fenced from adjoining paddocks and only lightly grazed. Although managed differently, the structure is similar to site 19, except that there are many more large trees with hollows. Bird diversity was similar but abundance was slightly less than site 19, probably due to the almost total absence of forest species.

Comments: Site 21 was a narrow (20m) road reserve with an additional fenced revegetation area (10m) on one side. Plants in the revegetated area were only a few years old. The treed part of the reserve was about two km long, with connections to a larger patch of other forest at the north end of the site and near another patch at the southern end of the site. Total overstorey cover was relatively low but there were some understorey trees and patches of dense shrub cover. The southern end (Area 21S) included a rise with other species including 5 eucalypt species. The diversity of this area was high, with many open-country plus forest species such as Rufous Whistler, Olive-backed Oriole and Brown Thornbill. Site 22 was a wider road reserve several kilometres long. It had more overstorey and understorey tree cover but few patches of shrub cover than site 21. There were few mapped patches of larger forest in the vicinity but nearby farms had small patches of trees as well as garden areas. Areas 22M and 22N had a high diversity of both open country species (8) and forest species (8 and 11, respectively). The small patches of shrubs supported Brown Thornbills and Superb Fairy-wrens. Area 22S was less diverse structurally and in the variety of birds. Comparison of the sites needs to include comparisons of the landscape around each survey area.

Comments: The three survey areas were along the same section of Emu Creek and the vegetation cover was continuous through all areas (an overall distance of about 2 km). The three survey areas all had the same structural components and similar overall structural diversity including some dense patches of understorey trees and shrubs. Site 25 was fenced on both sides of the creek, including a recent area of replantings. Site 26 was only fenced on one side and the trampling effect of stock was apparent on the banks of the creek. The structural diversity was associated with the presence of many understorey bird species, the proximity to larges patches allowed more species to include the sites in their home ranges, and the continuity of habitat allowed many flocks of small birds to move along the creek particularly in autumn. The sites were similar in so many respects, that differences due to management could not be identified.

Introduction survey effort per unit area of the site was much greater for Mammal surveys usually involve a range of trapping, smaller and linear sites compared with large sites; and hairtubes, scat collecting and spotlighting. Due to the resource • survey areas were selected to include pre-existing vegetation constraints, repeatablility and likely small return for effort, no quadrats wherever possible. In some cases, new quadrats were set up within survey sites trapping, hairtubes or scat collection were undertaken for this study. Spotlighting was used to record the diversity of All survey areas were mapped and marked with tape. Most arboreal mammals in the study area (the eastern part of the were 100 x 200m, but some were less regular to fit the shape Red Gum Plains) especially the distribution and abundance of of the site.

Introduction Figure 8.15.1 Mean numbers of Christmas beetles sampled in Christmas Beetles are one of the insects involved in the insect- pitfall traps across four remnant categories 30 mediated dieback of Gippsland Red Gums. A supplementary yellow pan survey of this genus was carried out by Phil Tennant and Ben 25
Magid (of DSE Bairnsdale at that time) across some of the 20 monitoring sites in January and February, 2001. Three pitfall 15 lines of 2m x 12m were established at 21 of the monitoring 10 sites. Grassland sites were not monitored. The total numbers Mean number of Christmas beetles caught are presented in the table 5 below.

There This report has shown that eucalypt crown dieback was was no relationship between mean numbers of beetles caught present throughout the study area but was ranked as and remnant size. moderate or severe only over one-third of the area (Chapter 3 this report). This is not simply a case of crown dieback being more visible to the researcher as it has been shown that of 12 survey areas with poor tree health, 10 were in linear and small patches, compared with two in medium and none in large patches (Chapter 5 this report). Intuitively, we might expect to see higher numbers of Christmas beetles in linear and small patches. Mean numbers of Christmas beetles were highest
A biodiversity monitoring program for Gippsland Plains Grassy Woodland remnants of the East Gippsland Red Gum Plains 169 in the small remnants but there was no trend downwards with increasing remnant size. The large standard errors are also notable and reflect the considerable variation in numbers across the sites within each size category. There are several reasons why this might not be so. Firstly, it is noted that different researchers carried out the major insect work and the specific Christmas beetle surveys. However, both studies were carried out at the same time of year (summer) and the same survey method (pitfall trapping, which yielded most beetle numbers in the main study) was used. We can be confident then that the results can be compared. One possible reason for the difference is that the Anoplognathus genus is not the main genus responsible for the dieback more common in linear remnants; similar numbers are seen in large remnants where dieback is not severe. It should be noted that no other beetle genera were identified in this report. Other genera may be contributing to the peak in Coleoptera numbers seen at linear sites as shown in Chapter 6, perhaps Leaf beetles (chrysomelids). Of course, insects other than beetles play a role in dieback: including caterpillars, flightless grasshoppers, phasmids, lerps, gall-forming insects, psyllids and sawfly larvae. It is of interest, however, that the other order that contains dieback agents, the Hemiptera (bugs), did not show a peak in linear remnants; rather, Hemiptera numbers rose with remnant size (Fig. 6.13 this report). Linear strips did not support a diverse butterfly fauna (see 6.5.5 this report) but as arboreal insects were not sampled for we can draw no conclusions about the Lepidoptera species known to be involved in dieback, specifically the gum-leaf skeletoniser Uraba( lugens), anecdotally reported to be a major dieback agent on the Red Gum Plains. This is a case of an apparent lack of correlation actually yielding interesting information. More research, specifically into the Coleoptera genera more prevalent in linear sites and all arboreal insects, is required before we can draw any firm conclusions about the specific insects involved in the severe dieback seen in linear remnants on the Red Gum Plains.
