(Biodiversity Research and Management Division, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967 Hurstville NSW 2220 email: [email protected]) 2001. Flora conservation issues at Kinchega National Park, western NSW. Cunninghamia 7(1): 27–41. Kinchega National Park reserves significant stands of Eucalyptus largiflorens open woodland on the Darling River floodplain, low open Maireana pyramidata shrubland and Casuarina pauper/Alectryon oleifolius open woodland on dune systems. We identify four key issues for the conservation of flora in Kinchega National Park, western NSW. These are: 1) There is an urgent need to initiate regeneration in a number of long-lived perennial trees and shrubs. Failure to do so will lead to local population declines and extinction in a number of species. Reduction in grazing impacts of rabbits and goats is needed. Some degree of rabbit control has been achieved over the last few years through a combination of the effects of the rabbit calicivirus disease (RCD) and an extensive rabbit control program for the reserve. 2) The need to initiate a water plan of management for the reserve to overcome the problem of changes in water flows, flood periodicity and flood magnitude that have occurred in response to water regulation activities on the Darling River. 3) Management of several threatened species and ecological communities on the reserve, in particular the nationally vulnerable species Acacia carneorum and Solanum karsense. Kinchega NP is the only conservation reserve containing populations of these species and these populations are significant for both species.

Murphy2, Neville Walsh2,3 1 Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, 1–7 Taylor St, Epsom, Victoria 3551 2 Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Melbourne, Victoria 3004 3 Corresponding author: [email protected] Introduction Abstract The iconic genus Acacia Mill. (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) is the largest A morphometric analysis of specimens angiosperm genus in Australia, consisting of over 1000 species (Miller determined as Acacia boormanii Maiden and A. infecunda Molyneux et al. 2011, Maslin 2015). Acacia boormanii Maiden (syn. A. hunteriana & Forrester supported a distinctive N.A.Wakef.) was described as a species of scattered and restricted population centred on Mt Typo occurrence in south-eastern Australia (Maiden 1916). As currently in north-eastern Victoria, which understood, its natural range extends from south of Thredbo Village, is described here as A. boormanii New South Wales (NSW), to near Buchan, Victoria, mostly south of the subsp. gibba K.J.Tucker subsp. nov. The characters that best separate Great Dividing Range, with isolated occurrences near Cooma, NSW, the new subspecies are the phyllode and Myrtleford, Victoria (Maslin 2001). It is common in cultivation and width, the indentation of the phyllode has become naturalised in a few areas outside its natural range (e.g. margins at the gland, and the shape http://avh.ala.org.au/occurrences/search?taxa=acacia+boormanii#tab_ of the phyllode apex.

  • Improvement of Seed Germination in Three Important Conifer Species by Gibberellic Acid (GA3)
    Volume 11(2) Improvement of seed germination in three important conifer species by Gibberellic acid (GA3). Improvement of seed germination in three important conifer species by Gibberellic acid (GA3). B. S. Rawat1, C. M. Sharma2 and S. K. Ghildiyal3 Department of Forestry, Post Box # 76, HNB Garhwal University, Srinagar Garhwal-246 174 (Uttaranchal) 1. [email protected] 2. [email protected] [email protected] December 2006 Download at: http://www.lyonia.org/downloadPDF.php?pdfID=283.486.1 Improvement of seed germination in three important conifer species by Gibberellic acid (GA3). Abstract Results pertaining to the germination percentage of pre-soaked seeds in a series of temperature regimes viz., 100C, 150C, 200C and 250C have revealed significant increase among seed sources in each of the three conifer species of Garhwal Himalaya. Soaking of the seeds for 24 hours in GA3 solution had shown maximum germination in A. pindrow (45.0±4.19%), C. torulosa (57.0±3.40%) and P. smithiana (56±6.01%) as compared to untreated (control) seeds. It has also been observed that GA3 treatment caused an appreciable shortening of the germination period by 10 days. Therefore, seeds of these commercially important tree species should be pre-treated particularly with GA3 for 24 hours for getting enhanced germination. It is important to point out here that the seeds of each of the three species reflect poor germination in nature due to snow cover, seed decay, prevalence of excess water and lack of maintenance, however, because of increasing demand for large quantities of tree seeds for reforestation programmes, pre-sowing treatments are useful to improve the rate and percentage of germination.

  • Variation in Soil CO2 Efflux in Pinus Wallichiana and Abies Pindrow
    rch: O ea pe es n A R t c s c e e Sundarapandian and Dar, Forest Res 2013, 3:1 r s o s Forest Research F DOI: 10.4172/2168-9776.1000116 Open Access ISSN: 2168-9776 Research Article Open Access Variation in Soil CO2 Efflux in Pinus Wallichiana and Abies Pindrow Temperate Forests of Western Himalayas, India SM Sundarapandian* and Javid Ahmad Dar Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences, School of life Sciences, Pondicherry University, Puducherry, India Abstract Soil CO2 efflux was measured by alkali absorption method from April to December 2012 in two different forest types, i.e., Pinus wallichiana and Abies pindrow, with three replicate plots in each forest type. Soil CO2 efflux was found maximum in July and minimum in December in both the forest types. Significantly (P<0.001) greater soil CO2 efflux was measured inPinus wallichiana forest compared to Abies pindrow forest throughout the study period. The -2 -1 range of soil CO2 efflux (mg CO2 m hr ) from the soil was 126-427 in Abies pindrow forest and 182-646 in Pinus wallichiana forest. Soil CO2 efflux showed greater values in Pinus wallichiana forest than Abies pindrow forest, which could be attributed to greater tree density, tree biomass, shrub density, shrub biomass, forest floor litter and moisture. Soil CO2 efflux also showed significant positive relationship with air temperature. In addition to that the altitudinal difference may be one of the reasons for variation in soil CO2 efflux between the two forest types. This result also indicates that at higher altitude even a small difference in elevation (100 m) alter the functional attributes of the ecosystem.

  • MVG 16 Acacia Shrublands DRAFT
    MVG 16 - ACACIA SHRUBLANDS Acacia hillii, Tanami Desert, NT (Photo: D. Keith) Overview The overstorey of MVG 16 is dominated by multi-stemmed acacia shrubs. The most widespread species is Acacia aneura (mulga). Mulga vegetation takes on a variety of structural expressions and is consequently classified partly within MVG 16 where the overstorey is dominated by multi-stemmed shrubs, partly within MVG 6 in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol definition of forest cover in Australia (trees > 2 m tall and crown cover > 20%, foliage projective cover > 10%); and partly within MVG 13 where the woody dominants are predominantly single-stemmed, but with crown cover less than 20%. Occurs where annual rainfall is below 250mm in southern Australia and below 350mm in northern Australia (Hodgkinson 2002; Foulkes et al. 2014). Species composition varies along rainfall gradients, with substrate and rainfall seasonality (Beadle 1981; Johnson and Burrows 1994). Transitions into MVG 13 Acacia woodlands with higher rainfall and varying soil types. Is most commonly found on red earth soils (Hodgkinson 2002).
