  • The Origin and Distribution of Phytophthora Cinnamomi

    The Origin and Distribution of Phytophthora Cinnamomi

    THE ORIGIN AND DISTRIBUTION OF PHYTOPHTHORA CINNAMOMI RANDS IN AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITIES AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ITS ASSOCIATION WITH PARTICULAR PLANT SPECIES By B. H. PRATT* and W. A. HEATHER* [Manuscript received 23 October 1972] Abstract The origin, distribution, and disease association of P. cinnamomi in native plant communities in Australia has been examined. The fungus was isolated from the root zones of 31 plant genera in 16 families and is widespread throughout eastern and southern Australia and south-western Western Australia. Although the fungus is associated with disease in native plant communities it is also present in apparently non-diseased communities. Disease occurs usually only in environments disturbed by man, probably as a result of increase in population or activity of pre-existing fungal populations. The widespread distribution of P. cinnamomi in native vegetation in Australia, its occurrence in remote, undisturbed areas, and the apparent balance it has achieved with plant species of differing susceptibility to disease in some natural, undisturbed areas suggests that the fungus is likely to be indigenous to eastern Australia. Further, it may be partly responsible for the localized distribution of some plant species. I. INTRODUCTION The soil-borne fungus Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands is widely distributed in Australia, in horticultural plantings (Zentmyer and Thorn 1967; Pratt and Wrigley 1970; as well as personal communications from the New South Wales Department of Agriculture, Tasmanian Department of Agriculture, Victorian Department of Agriculture, and the Queensland Department of Primary Industries), and in conifer nurseries and plantings (Oxenham and Winks 1963; Bertus 1968; and personal communications from the New South Wales Forestry Commission, and the Queens­ land Department of Forestry).

Wells May 2001 Department of Conservation and Land Management Western Australian Threatened Species and Communities Unit (WATSCU) PO Box 51, Wanneroo, WA 6946 Interim Recovery Plan for Verticordia staminosa subsp. staminosa FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. CALM is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from May 2001 to April 2004 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be replaced by a full Recovery Plan after three years. This IRP was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 27 June 2001. The provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting CALM, as well as the need to address other priorities. Information in this IRP was accurate at May 2001. 2 Interim Recovery Plan for Verticordia staminosa subsp.

The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubbyforest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovata shrubbyforest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from the area, which is particularly rich in orchids, two ofwhich are rare in Tasmania. Four other plant species are known to be rare and/or unreserved inTasmania. Sixty-four exotic plantspecies have been observed in the area, most ofwhich do not threaten the native biodiversity. However, a group offire-adapted shrubs are potentially serious invaders. Management problems in the area include the maintenance ofopen areas, weed invasion, pathogen invasion, introduced animals, fire, mechanised recreation, drainage from houses and roads, rubbish dumping and the gathering offirewood, sand and plants. Key Words: flora, forest, heath, Huntingfield, management, Tasmania, vegetation, wetland, woodland. INTRODUCTION species with the most cover in the shrub stratum (dominant species) was noted.
