Wasur National Park (South Papua District, Papua, Indonesia) is one of A.symphyocarpa’s distribution areasTwo villages in Wasur National Park, namely Yanggandur Village and Rawa BiruVillage have been performing utilization of A. symphyocarpa with the process of distillation. Today, the utilization of A. Symphyocarpa has become one of livelihoods sources for the peoples in this region. However, A. symphyocarpain Wasur National Park was facing a high level of threats, the mostly are: habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation, habitat degradation, and the invasion of alien species. This paper was aimedat exploringother potential uses of A. symphyocarpa in addition to its essential oil and also to formulate conservation efforts in Wasur National Park. The analysis is was done through literature studies and authors’ experiences. An alternative solution to preserve this species is was to developmentof stakeholders’ participation. Those stakeholders must be involved actively of performingin the real conservation efforts.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This review of the environmental impacts of Myrtle Rust in Australia is accompanied by an adjunct document, Myrtle Rust in Australia – a draft Action Plan. The Action Plan was developed in 2018 in consultation with experts, stakeholders and the public. The intent of the draft Action Plan is to provide a guiding framework for a specifically environmental dimension to Australia’s response to Myrtle Rust – that is, the conservation of native biodiversity at risk.

More than a century passed before another key to the Australian genera appeared (Johnson & Briggs 1983), this time with 75 genera and 11 informal groups that were intended to be equivalent to tribes. In 2005 a new formal classification for the Myrtaceae (Wilsonet al. 2005) increased the number of tribes recognised in Australia to 151, but this paper did not include any keys. Approximately 85 Australian genera are now recognised, including 30 endemic to Western Australia. Ten tribes are represented in Western Australia and, since mid 2009, 54 genera have been listed for the State on FloraBase (Western Australian Herbarium 1998–).

Studies on the Chemistry of Australia's Native Fauna and Flora
Studies on the chemistry of Australia's native flora and fauna My first involvement in natural products chemistry was during my Honours year in chemistry at UNSW in 1964 where, like so many other chemists before me, I set to work on my bag of sawdust obtained from some Australian tree to find out what organic compounds could be extracted from it. The species involved was Sophora tomentosa and under the supervision of Associate Professor Ron Eade I obtained some isoflavone and pterocarpin derivatives. That experience whetted my interest in the chemicals contained living systems and sparked an interest in why they were there. Sophora tomentosa is a member of the Leguminosae and it is only within this family that isoflavones had been found. The work described in this thesis has been carried out at the School of Chemistry, University of New South Wales over a period of, approximately, 25 years. During this time at the University I have been responsible for providing the routine mass specti'ometry service within the School of Chemistry, though the work described herein is not part of that work. GC/MS was initiated within the School in 1969. In 1970, as a postdoctoral fellow, I used the technique for the first time in the my work on insect chemistry. After a period of 5 years at Monash University I returned to UNSW in 1976 to run the routine mass spectrometry service. My involvement with insect chemistry continued and several years later I commenced work on essential oils chemistry. Like a lot of other people who spend their lives in doing chemical research, I got into essential oils research more or less by accident, though in my case this accident was once removed.

I mentioned this to a friend of mine the other day and his reply was " not only is half the year nearly gone but also nearly half the decade " . We have had good rain here in the past 6 months - 800 mm to the end of April and fairly consistent showers since then although the heavier falls have been patchy and have not produced a lot of runoff to fill water storages . Many plants , including the Callistemons , have flowered very well this year with many of them producing 2 or 3 flushes of flower and, in fact, some of them are still producing a fairly heavy flush of flowers - particularly the pink flowering forms like " Pink Champagne " , " Pink Delight " , " Pink Alma " . Some of the red flowering forms have also flowered on for longer than would normally be expected - " McIntosh " , " Wild River " , viminalis and " Pindi Pindi " . C. citrinus " White Anzac " has been flowering almost continuously since the start of the year . C. comboynensis is flowering again whereas it usually flowers around Christmas time when there is often not much else in flower . The green .form of C. pachyphyllus has flowered on beyond its normal flowering period. Melaleuca linariifolia was disappointing this year as , except for a few plants , it did not flower well whereas it usually produces a heavy crop of flowers during January and into February.

Biodiversity of Terrestrial Ecosystems in Tropical to Temperate Australia
Hindawi Publishing Corporation International Journal of Ecology Volume 2012, Article ID 359892, 15 pages doi:10.1155/2012/359892 Review Article Biodiversity of Terrestrial Ecosystems in Tropical to Temperate Australia Raymond L. Specht Department of Botany, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4072, Australia Correspondence should be addressed to Raymond L. Specht, [email protected] Received 19 September 2011; Revised 25 December 2011; Accepted 17 January 2012 Academic Editor: Panos V. Petrakis Copyright © 2012 Raymond L. Specht. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. During the short period of annual foliage growth in evergreen plant communities, aerodynamic fluxes (frictional, thermal, evaporative) in the atmosphere as it flows over and through a plant community determine the Foliage Projective Covers and leaf attributes in overstorey and understorey strata. The number of leaves produced on each vertical foliage shoot depends on available soil water and nutrients during this growth period. The area of all leaves exposed to solar radiation determines net photosynthetic fixation of the plant community throughout the year. In turn, the species richness (number of species per hectare) of both plants and resident vertebrates is determined. The species richness of unicellular algae and small multicellular isopods in permanent freshwater lagoons in Northern Australia may possibly have been increased by radiation released from nearby uranium deposits. Evolution of new angiosperms probably occurred in refugia during periods of extreme drought. When favourable climates were restored, the vegetation expanded to result in high Gamma Biodiversity (number of plant species per region) but with each major plant community having essentially the same species richness (number of plant species per hectare).
