The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being.

  • Report on Visit to Lyrebird Lane Quite a Crowd Travelled to Lyrebird Lane Little Forest, to Enjoy the Extensive Garden of Catriona and Phil
    Report on visit to Lyrebird Lane Quite a crowd travelled to Lyrebird Lane Little Forest, to enjoy the extensive garden of Catriona and Phil. As leaders of the Petrophile and Isopogon Study Group, they share a keen interest in domesticating these members of the Proteaceae family. Phil has spent some years perfecting a process of grafting the difficult to grow but horticulturally desirable Western Australian species onto more reliable Eastern states rootstock. From this work he has ventured to graft many difficult to grow plants within the Proteaceae family, including Banksia, Dryandra, Grevillea and Hakea species onto stocks which not only survive, but thrive in his Phil and Catriona ponder a garden conditions. (Phil has kindly supplied an extensive list difficult question during their of the successful grafts in his garden, which follows this opening comments at the last report) meeting Catriona and Phil’s property is located on the edge of the escarpment overlooking Lake Conjola and Milton at an elevation of 350m, just below the Little Forest Plateau area of the Morton National Park, about ten kilometres from the sea, and is a garden set on the rich soils of former rainforest pockets, comprising two hectares of volcanic soil known as Milton monzonite. Whilst we marvelled at the plants and the almost perfect maintenance, both Catriona and Phil were quick to point out aspects which they struggled with. First of course, as the soil retains so much moisture, many plants simply grow too quickly, then being top heavy, are affected negatively by the strong westerly winds which flow down from the nearby escarpment.

  • Flora Translocation Strategy Pacific Highway Upgrade Sections 3-11 Excluding Early Works Soft Soil Treatment Areas Woolgoolga to Ballina
    W2B-RMS-0-EF-PLN-00039 Flora Translocation Strategy Pacific Highway Upgrade Sections 3-11 excluding Early Works Soft Soil Treatment Areas Woolgoolga to Ballina Version 3 April 2017 APRIL 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New South Wales Roads and Maritime Services are upgrading the Pacific Highway between Woolgoolga and Ballina on the NSW North Coast (the Project). The preparation of a translocation strategy for impacted threatened flora species i.e. listed on schedules of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (TSC Act) and the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) is a requirement of the conditions of approval. The translocation strategy is complemented by an offset strategy offset package and offset status report. Impacts to threatened species will be fully offset. The translocation management actions detailed in this report are additional to offsets. The translocation strategy has been submitted in stages. A Translocation Strategy for Sections 1 and 2 of the Project (part of Stage 1) - was approved on 12 May 2015 and a strategy for Early Works Soft Soils Treatment Areas three waves of construction packaging making up the remainder of Stage 1 of the highway upgrade) was approved on 9 June 2015. The current strategy covers Sections 3 to 11 (excluding Early Works Soft Soils Treatment Areas. Sixteen species of threatened flora are identified as being directly impacted by the upgrade of Sections 3 to 11 (excluding Early Works Soft Soils Treatment Areas) and twelve are assessed as feasible for translocation. They are: Four-tailed Grevillea Grevillea quadricauda (Vulnerable TSC Act EPBC Act). Green-leaved rose walnut Endiandra muelleri subsp.

  • Two Decades of Demography Reveals That Seed and Seedling Transitions Limit Population Persistence in a Translocated Shrub
    Annals of Botany 114: 85–96, 2014 doi:10.1093/aob/mcu082, available online at www.aob.oxfordjournals.org Two decades of demography reveals that seed and seedling transitions limit population persistence in a translocated shrub C. L. Gross* and D. Mackay Ecosystem Management, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia * For correspondence. E-mail [email protected] Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/aob/article-abstract/114/1/85/2768988 by guest on 02 October 2018 Received: 9 December 2013 Returned for revision: 10 March 2014 Accepted: 25 March 2014 Published electronically: 20 May 2014 † Background and Aims Olearia flocktoniae is an endangered shrub that was passively translocated from its natural ecosystem, where it has since gone extinct. This study aimed to determine sensitivities vital to populations persisting in human-created areas. † Methods Population colonization, longevity and extinction were investigated over 20 years using 133 populations. Seed-bank longevity was determined from germination trials of seeds exhumed from extinct and extant sites via a 10-year glasshouse trial and by in situ sowing experiments. From 27 populations, 98 cohorts were followed and matrix models of transitions from seeds to adults were used to evaluate the intrinsic rate of population growth against disturbance histories. Ten populations (38 cohorts) with different disturbance histories were used to evaluate sensitivities in vital rates. † Key Results Most populations had few individuals (30) and were transient (,5 years above ground). The intrinsic population growth ratewas rarely .1 and all but two populations were extinct at year 20. Seeds were short-lived in situ.

  • 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.
