Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

Available Rapid Growing Vines for the United States
ARNOLDIA A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 4 DF.CEMBER 8, 1944 NUMBERS 9-11I AVAILABLE RAPID GROVfIN(~ VINES FOR THE UNITED STATES play a very essential part in any garden, and rapid growing vines are VINESfrequently desired for some particular purpose which no other plant material will fulfill. Sometimes they are needed only temporarily; other times they are needed permanently. Rapid growing ines are not always the most ornamental, but, since their number is rather large, some of the best will be found among them. Nor are the most ornamental vines always the easiest to obtain. Rapid growing vines that are easily obtainable are very much of interest and are in de- mand throughout the country. Consequently, this number of Arnoldia deals with those rapid growing vines, easily obtainable, that are recommended in different areas of the C’nited States. They may not all be of prime ornamental value when <·ompared with some of the rarer ones, but their rapid habit of growth makes them of considerable value for certain screening purposes. The information in this issue of Arnoldia is taken from a report prepared a short time ago when there was a great deal of interest in the camouflaging of various installations in this country, both public and private. Various horticul- turists’t mndely separated parts of the country contributed information on the * Edgar Anderson, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Missouri W. H.

Lose the Plot: Cost-Effective Survey of the Peak Range, Central Queensland
Lose the plot: cost-effective survey of the Peak Range, central Queensland. Don W. Butlera and Rod J. Fensham Queensland Herbarium, Environmental Protection Agency, Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha Road, Toowong, QLD, 4066 AUSTRALIA. aCorresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract: The Peak Range (22˚ 28’ S; 147˚ 53’ E) is an archipelago of rocky peaks set in grassy basalt rolling-plains, east of Clermont in central Queensland. This report describes the flora and vegetation based on surveys of 26 peaks. The survey recorded all plant species encountered on traverses of distinct habitat zones, which included the ‘matrix’ adjacent to each peak. The method involved effort comparable to a general flora survey but provided sufficient information to also describe floristic association among peaks, broad habitat types, and contrast vegetation on the peaks with the surrounding landscape matrix. The flora of the Peak Range includes at least 507 native vascular plant species, representing 84 plant families. Exotic species are relatively few, with 36 species recorded, but can be quite prominent in some situations. The most abundant exotic plants are the grass Melinis repens and the forb Bidens bipinnata. Plant distribution patterns among peaks suggest three primary groups related to position within the range and geology. The Peak Range makes a substantial contribution to the botanical diversity of its region and harbours several endemic plants among a flora clearly distinct from that of the surrounding terrain. The distinctiveness of the range’s flora is due to two habitat components: dry rainforest patches reliant upon fire protection afforded by cliffs and scree, and; rocky summits and hillsides supporting xeric shrublands.

Environmental Weeds
eNVIRoNMeNTal Weeds Plants can become environmental weeds when they escape from gardens into surrounding bushland, dune and creek edges. Plants from overseas and even native plants from other parts of Queensland and australia have the potential to become weeds, therefore; • treat any new plants with caution • when in doubt, leave it as a container plant or isolate it • think about what you are planting • weeds can be spread when garden cuttings are dumped – even lawn cuttings can introduce weed seeds • wind and birds can spread seeds from your garden, you can reduce this by removing spent flowers before they set seed The weeds listed in this guide are by no means a complete list of plants that can become environmental weeds. If you are unsure as to the correct identification of a plant seek further advice before removing it, it may well be a native plant introduced into your garden by wind or birds. Plants bought for aquariums can become weeds in our waterways. aquarium plants must never be disposed into creeks, waterways or drains. Cabomba or Fanwort (Cabomba caroliniana) is an example of an aquarium plant that overtakes waterways blocking out light and oxygen to native aquatic plants and animals. other serious water weeds are alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides), salvinia (Salvinia molesta) and Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). 34 Weed IdeNTIFICaTIoN GuIde Plant Type Invasion Mechanism Tree Vegetative Shrub Animals Groundcover Wind Grass Bulbs, tubers etc. Vine Distinguishing Plant Characteristics Aquatic Berry Flowering Time Pods Summer Flower Autumn Spines Spring Toxic Winter Control Method Year round Cut and paint Leaf Arrangement Manual Compound Stem inject Whorled Stem scrape Alternate Disposal Method Opposite Bag and bin all Basal parts of the plant Bag and bin viable seeds, bulbs, tubers or root.

Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific
Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific Craig Costion School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5005 Thesis by publication submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology July 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis advances plant biodiversity knowledge in three separate bioregions, Micronesia, the Queensland Wet Tropics, and South Australia. A systematic treatment of the endemic flora of Micronesia is presented for the first time thus advancing alpha taxonomy for the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot region. The recognized species boundaries are used in combination with all known botanical collections as a basis for assessing the degree of threat for the endemic plants of the Palau archipelago located at the western most edge of Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. A preliminary assessment is conducted utilizing the IUCN red list Criteria followed by a new proposed alternative methodology that enables a degree of threat to be established utilizing existing data. Historical records and archaeological evidence are reviewed to establish the minimum extent of deforestation on the islands of Palau since the arrival of humans. This enabled a quantification of population declines of the majority of plants endemic to the archipelago. In the state of South Australia, the importance of establishing concepts of endemism is emphasized even further. A thorough scientific assessment is presented on the state’s proposed biological corridor reserve network. The report highlights the exclusion from the reserve system of one of the state’s most important hotspots of plant endemism that is highly threatened from habitat fragmentation and promotes the use of biodiversity indices to guide conservation priorities in setting up reserve networks.

Weedy Vines on the South Coast
English ivy Japanese honeysuckle Mile-a-minute St Vincent lilac Weedy vines Morning glory Banana passionfruit Black-eyed Susan on the South Coast Moth vine Madeira vine Climbing asparagus Dolichos pea VINES Cape ivy Bluebell creeper Climbing groundsel Many vines grown as ornamentals in our gardens have escaped into the bush around towns and farms, where they grow over the top of other plants, blocking the sunlight from their leaves, and weakening or even killing them. Most of them can smother groundcovers and shrubs and the larger species climb high into the canopy where they may smother trees. Few of these vines are listed as noxious weeds as they are generally not a problem for agriculture, but some of them are listed as Weeds of National Significance (WoNS) because of the damage their rampant growth can do to natural ecosystems. This leaflet covers some of the worst weedy vines of the south coast. The best way to help prevent the spread of weedy vines is not to grow them in your garden. Many have fleshy fruits that are dispersed over long distances by birds, or light, wind-blown seed, so they are well adapted to jumping the garden fence.

DISCONNECTION and RECONNECTION: MISCONCEPTIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS PERTAINING to VOUCHERS in WOOD SCIENCE Jennifer Barker This P
IAWA Journal, Vol. 29 (4), 2008: 425– 437 DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION: MISCONCEPTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS PERTAINING TO VOUCHERS IN WOOD SCIENCE Jennifer Barker CRC for Australian Weed Management, PMB 1, Waite Campus, University of Adelaide, Glen Osmond SA 5064 [E-mail: [email protected]] SUMMARY This paper aims to raise awareness of the importance of plant specimen vouchers in wood anatomy and wood identification in keeping abreast of plant name changes. It reveals the strong possibility that many wood specimens in xylaria are currently misidentified because corresponding plant specimen vouchers have been lost or separated from collections and not revisited. It appeals to the systematic wood anatomy commu- nity to reconnect wood specimens in xylaria with their corresponding plant specimen vouchers in order to update nomenclature. More specific recommendations are aimed at the International Association of Wood Anatomists (IAWA) to promote and educate those in the wood commu- nity on the importance and value of plant specimen vouchers in wood identification and systematic wood anatomy. Of equal importance is the adoption and promotion of a wood specimen citation system that unam- biguously indicates whether research is based upon wood specimens with corresponding plant specimen vouchers and whether these vouchers have been consulted so that the research reflects current nomenclature. Key words: Wood identification, systematic wood anatomy, taxonomy, plant specimen voucher, herbaria, xylaria. INTRODUCTION … reference collections
