    State-wide seed conservation strategy for threatened species, threatened communities and biodiversity hotspots Project 033146a Final Report South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. and Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust July 2008 Prepared by Anne Cochrane Threatened Flora Seed Centre Department of Environment and Conservation Western Australian Herbarium Kensington Western Australia 6983 Summary In 2005 the South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. secured regional competitive component funding from the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust for a three-year project for the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) to coordinate seed conservation activities for listed threatened species and ecological communities and for Commonwealth identified national biodiversity hotspots in Western Australia (Project 033146). This project implemented an integrated and consistent approach to collecting seeds of threatened and other flora across all regions in Western Australia. The project expanded existing seed conservation activities thereby contributing to Western Australian plant conservation and recovery programs. The primary goal of the project was to increase the level of protection of native flora by obtaining seeds for long term conservation of 300 species. The project was successful and 571 collections were made. The project achieved its goals by using existing skills, data, centralised seed banking facilities and international partnerships that the DEC’s Threatened Flora Seed Centre already had in place. In addition to storage of seeds at the Threatened Flora Seed Centre, 199 duplicate samples were dispatched under a global seed conservation partnership to the Millennium Seed Bank in the UK for further safe-keeping. Herbarium voucher specimens for each collection have been lodged with the State herbarium in Perth, Western Australia.

  • Threatened Plant Communities of Western Australia. 1. the Ironstone Communities of the Swan and Scott Coastal Plains
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 83:1-11, 2000 Threatened plant communities of Western Australia. 1. The ironstone communities of the Swan and Scott Coastal Plains N Gibson1, G Keighery1, & B Keighery2 1 CALMScience, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Centre, PO Box 51 Wanneroo WA 6065. email: [email protected]; [email protected] 2 Department of Environmental Protection, 141 St Georges Terrace WA 6000. email: [email protected] Manuscript received September 1999; accepted December, 1999 Abstract The restricted plant communities of the massive ironstones (ferricretes) of the Swan and Scott Coastal Plains are described. These communities are amongst the most threatened in Western Australia. Much of the original extent of these communities has been cleared for agriculture, the remaining areas are threatened by Phytophthora cinnamomi, grazing and activities associated with mineral exploration. Twenty taxa have been recorded as being endemic to or having their major distribution centred on these ironstone areas, a further three taxa may have forms restricted to this habitat. Only eight of these 20 taxa are known from secure conservation reserves. Major differences in community composition were related to geographic and edaphic factors. Species richness ranges from an average of 14 to 67.8 taxa per 100 m2 across the nine community types described. Only five of these community types have been recorded from secure conservation reserves. Most occurrences of these plant communities occur on ironstone areas which are much younger than the Tertiary aged laterites of the nearby Darling and Blackwood Plateaus. Keywords: threatened community, ironstone, ferricrete, endemism Introduction typically on the nearby Darling and Blackwood Plateaus) and are believed to be currently forming (Johnstone et al.

  • Stirling Range Flora Nears Extinction 29 January 2015, by Rob Payne
    Stirling Range flora nears extinction 29 January 2015, by Rob Payne "[This] was first noted in the Stirling Range National Park by CSIRO researchers in 1974 and since then the pathogen has spread to many of the peaks through the transport of infested soil, mainly by foot access. "Infestations high in the landscape have led to considerable down-slope spread in broad fronts and extensive infestation of the Montane Heath and Thicket." This is significant given that many of the ecosystem's species are susceptible to the pathogen, which thrives in the humid montane conditions and shallow soils. The banksia anatona (pictured), which is endemic to the Stirling Ranges, is critically endangered as a result of Using historical data and long-term monitoring, the dieback in the region.

The soil-borne water mould Phytophthora cinnamomi (dieback) has rendered unique vegetation on the peaks of the Stirling Ranges in the Great Southern to the point of being critically endangered. Regarded as "biological islands", these peaks are 80 per cent composed of Montane Heath and Thicket, which contains endemic species including Giant Andersonia (Andersonia axilliflora), Banksia montana and the Yellow Mountain Bell (Darwinia collina). The Departments of Parks and Wildlife Perth and Albany conservation assessment utilised the IUCN Red List criteria for ecosystems and found that disease, changing fire regimes and restricted geographical distribution made for an uncertain future. "The most significant threat is Phytophthora dieback," according to study co-authors Sarah Barrett and Dr Colin Yates.
