  • Thermal Requirements Underpinning Germination Allude to Risk of Species Decline from Climate Warming
    plants Article Thermal Requirements Underpinning Germination Allude to Risk of Species Decline from Climate Warming Jennifer Anne Cochrane 1,2 1 Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983, Australia; [email protected]; Tel.: +61-429-698-644 2 Division of Ecology and Evolution, College of Science, Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia Received: 11 May 2020; Accepted: 19 June 2020; Published: 25 June 2020 Abstract: The storage of seeds is a commonly used means of preserving plant genetic diversity in the face of rising threats such as climate change. Here, the findings of research from the past decade into thermal requirements for germination are synthesised for more than 100 plant species from southern Western Australia. This global biodiversity hotspot is predicted to suffer major plant collapse under forecast climate change. A temperature gradient plate was used to assess the thermal requirements underpinning seed germination in both commonly occurring and geographically restricted species. The results suggest that the local climate of the seed source sites does not drive seed responses, neither is it indicative of temperatures for optimal germination. The low diurnal phase of the temperature regime provided the most significant impact on germination timing. Several species germinated optimally at mean temperatures below or close to current wet quarter temperatures, and more than 40% of species were likely to be impacted in the future, with germination occurring under supra-optimal temperature conditions. This research highlights both species vulnerability and resilience to a warming climate during the regeneration phase of the life cycle and provides vital information for those aiming to manage, conserve and restore this regional flora.

  • Field Guide to the Cultivated Eucalypts (Myrtaceae)
    FIELD GUIDE TO THE Matt Ritter2 CULTIVATED EUCALYPTS (MYRTACEAE) AND HOW TO IDENTIFY THEM1 ABSTRACT This paper provides identification keys that are based entirely on morphological features to commonly and widely cultivated eucalypts, encompassing Eucalyptus L’He´r., Angophora Cav., and Corymbia K. D. Hill & L. A. S. Johnson in the Myrtaceae Juss. The key includes 173 taxa: one species of Angophora, nine species of Corymbia, and 163 species of Eucalyptus. Evidence for cultivation was determined by accounts in the literature, herbaria, personal communications, and observations of living trees in cultivation in Europe, North America, Africa, and Australia. The locations, prevalence of cultivation, and naturalization of several eucalypt species are discussed. Key words: Angophora, Corymbia, eucalypt, Eucalyptus, Myrtaceae. In 1774, at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, years later, two Australian botanists, Kenneth Hill England, the messmate (Eucalyptus obliqua L’He´r.) and Lawrence Johnson, combined two Eucalyptus became the first cultivated eucalypt. Since that time, subgenera, Blakella L. D. Pryor & L. A. S. Johnson hundreds of species have been introduced into ex Brooker and Corymbia (K. D. Hill & L. A. S. cultivation in temperate, tropical, and subtropical Johnson) Brooker (bloodwoods, ghost gums, and countries worldwide. Eucalypts are now second only spotted gums), and described the new genus to the pines as the most extensively planted trees in Corymbia (Pryor & Johnson, 1971; Hill & Johnson, the world. They are grown for lumber, paper pulp, 1995). This taxonomy was corroborated by molecular pilings and posts, fuel wood, medicinal products, phylogenetic work, revealing that Corymbia is more tannins, oils, and as windbreaks and ornamentals.
