In comparison, other plants have shorter life During a bushfire, the type, amount and arrangement of vegetation is Fire retardant plants can absorb more of the heat of the approaching spans and may continually need to be replaced. critically important for the survival of your house. The fuel for bushfires bushfire without burning than more flammable plants. They can trap and rural areas is the main danger factor that people can control. Hazard reduction burning embers and sparks and reduce wind speeds near your house if Environmental Weeds activities such as clearing and fuel reduction burning, aim to lower the correctly positioned and maintained. Fire resistant ground covers can be vegetation hazard to a safe level. Because some plants have a higher used to slow the travel of a fire through the litter layer and fire resistant All gardeners should be aware that some plants are not wanted in the resistance to burning than others, we can use low flammability plants shrubs can be used to separate the litter layer from the trees above. bush even if they are valued in the garden. Unfortunately there are many for added protection in addition to normal maintenance and hazard ornamental plants which can really take off when they get into the bush. If the low flammability plants sound like ornamentals and vegetables and reduction activities. Some do so well they choke out the natives, like blackberries, or become the highly flammable ones sound like dry bush and scrub: then you’ve a fire hazard, like gorse. There are two basic factors to be got the idea. Obviously, on dry sites it considered in determining a plant’s will be very difficult to grow wet forest Many environmental weeds were brought to Tasmania as ornamental flammability: the first is how readily plants so consider planting useful or food plants and have found conditions to their liking. Most are not its parts burn and the second is how non-natives such as vegetables particularly affected by pests and diseases and so have a head start over the form of the whole of the growing and fruit trees (most of which have the local plants. Predicting whether a plant will become an environmental plant influences the burning of the very low flammabilities) or some of weed is not easy so it’s good practice to use native plants in gardens whole plant. “Flammability” then is, the less flammable ornamentals as close to bushland.

Methods: T. lanceolata solvent extracts were investigated by disc diffusion assay against a panel of bacteria and fungi and their MIC values were determined to quantify and compare their efficacies. Toxicity was determined using the Artemia franciscana nauplii bioassay. Results: All T. lanceolata extracts displayed antibacterial activity in the disc diffusion assay.

    ASPECTS OF LEAF AND EXTRACT PRODUCTION from Tasmannia lanceolata by Chris Read, B. Agr.Sc. Tas.

University of Tasmania HOBART March 1996 This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 University of Tasmania HOBART March 1996 Abstract This thesis examines several aspects of the preparation, extraction and analysis of solvent soluble compounds from leaf material of Tasmannia lanceolata and reports a preliminary survey of extracts of some members of the natural population of the species in Tasmania. A major constituent of these extracts, polygodial, was shown to be stored within specialised idioblastic structures scattered throughout the mesophyll, and characterised by distinctive size and shape, and a thickened wall. The contents of these cells were sampled directly, analysed and compared with the composition of extracts derived from ground, dry whole leaf. This result was supported by spectroscopic analysis of undisturbed oil cells in whole leaf tissue. In a two year field trial, the progressive accumulation of a number of leaf extract constituents (linalool, cubebene, caryophyllene, germacrene D, bicyclogermacrene, cadina-1,4 - diene, aristolone and polygodial) during the growth flush was followed by a slow decline during the subsequent dormant season.

Quirino 1,* 1 Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science (ACROSS), School of Natural Sciences-Chemistry, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 75, Hobart, 7001 Tasmania, Australia 2 Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Mons, 20 Place du Parc, 7000 Mons, Belgium 3 School of Natural Sciences-Chemistry, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 75, Hobart, 7001 Tasmania, Australia * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 13 June 2019; Accepted: 25 June 2019; Published: 26 June 2019 Abstract: The search for useful compounds from plants is an important research area. Traditional screening that involves isolation and identification/quantitation is tedious, time consuming, and generates a significant amount of chemical waste. Here, we present a simple, fast, and green strategy to assess 0.1% wt/wt quantities of useful compounds in plants/spices using pressurized hot ≥ water extraction using a household espresso machine followed by chemical analysis using capillary electrophoresis. Three demonstrations with polygodial, cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, and shikimic acid as target metabolites are shown. Direct analysis of extracts was by the developed micellar electrokinetic chromatography and capillary zone electrophoresis methods. The approach, which can be implemented in less developed countries, can process many samples within a day, much faster than traditional techniques that would normally take at least a day. Finally, 0.8–1.1% wt/wt levels of shikimic acid were found in Tasmanian-pepperberry and Tasmanian-fuschia leaves via the approach.

  • 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.
