Native Trees and Shrubs for Seaside Areas

NATIVE TREES & SHRUBS RECOMMENDED FOR SEASIDE AREAS NOOSA & DISTRICT LANDCARE GROUP STATION STREET, POMONA PH: 5485 2468 PLANTS SUITABLE FOR SEASIDE AREAS This list has been prepared as a guide to the selection of trees and shrubs suitable for planting on the coastal areas of Queensland. Most species are available from Noosa Landcare’s nurseries. Others listed are generally available from nurseries specializing in native plants. The problems of seaside plantings are mainly concerned with salt-laden winds which burn the foliage of tender plants. For such exposed sites the following plants will provide a resistant windbreak.

Cunninghamia Date of Publication: February 2020 A journal of plant ecology for eastern Australia ISSN 0727- 9620 (print) • ISSN 2200 - 405X (Online) The Australian paintings of Marianne North, 1880–1881: landscapes ‘doomed shortly to disappear’ John Leslie Dowe Australian Tropical Herbarium, James Cook University, Smithfield, Qld 4878 AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Abstract: The 80 paintings of Australian flora, fauna and landscapes by English artist Marianne North (1830-1890), completed during her travels in 1880–1881, provide a record of the Australian environment rarely presented by artists at that time. In the words of her mentor Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, director of Kew Gardens, North’s objective was to capture landscapes that were ‘doomed shortly to disappear before the axe and the forest fires, the plough and the flock, or the ever advancing settler or colonist’. In addition to her paintings, North wrote books recollecting her travels, in which she presented her observations and explained the relevance of her paintings, within the principles of a ‘Darwinian vision,’ and inevitable and rapid environmental change. By examining her paintings and writings together, North’s works provide a documented narrative of the state of the Australian environment in the late nineteenth- century, filtered through the themes of personal botanical discovery, colonial expansion and British imperialism.

COST COMPARISON of Melaleuca Treatment Methods by Francois B
COST COMPARISON OF Melaleuca Treatment Methods by Francois B. Laroche and Jennifer McKim Introduction Melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) is an exotic invasive plant species that was introduced to South Florida in the late 19th century Melaleuca seeds were offered for sale in Florida in 1887 (Serbesoff-King, 2003), and the tree has been distributed throughout South Florida since that time. Around 1937, during the historic rush to drain swamps in the state of Florida, seeds from the native Australian tree were disbursed over the eastern portion of South Florida’s Everglades. The tree was believed to be beneficial for drying wetlands for farming and development. In 1941, the United States Army Corps of Engineers planted M. quinquenervia on levees south of Lake Okeechobee for erosion control (Bramlage, 2000). Melaleuca was widely planted, and recommended as late as 1970, as “one of Florida’s best landscape trees” (Watkins, 1970). Melaleuca grows extremely fast in a variety of conditions. Wetlands, seasonal wetlands, and well- drained uplands offer excellent growing conditions for the tree. Melaleuca is particularly a concern for South Florida because it is highly invasive and has the ability to adapt and flourish in a variety of ecological conditions. The high production of viable seeds helps this species to establish and disperse and makes control a difficult challenge. Regardless of the method of removal, millions of viable seeds are left behind to re-establish melaleuca populations following any control initiatives. Current methods of control used for melaleuca include integrated strategies of herbicide application, limited mechanical means, and biological controls (Laroche, 1998). Control with herbicides is the most economical and most researched method.

Appendix 3 Section 5A Assessments “Seven Part Tests”
APPENDIX 3 SECTION 5A ASSESSMENTS “SEVEN PART TESTS” Appendix 3: Seven Part Tests Swamp Sclerophyll Forest Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is listed as an Endangered Ecological Community under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). It is not listed under the schedules of the Commonwealth Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions includes and replaces Sydney Coastal Estuary Swamp Forest in the Sydney Basin bioregion Endangered Ecological Community. This community is associated with humic clay loams and sandy loams, on waterlogged or periodically inundated alluvial flats and drainage lines associated with coastal floodplains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). It occurs typically as open forests to woodlands, although partial clearing may have reduced the canopy to scattered trees or scrub. The understorey may contain areas of fernland and tall reedland or sedgeland which in turn may also form mosaics with other floodplain communities and often fringe wetlands with semi-permanent standing water (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains generally occurs below 20 metres ASL, often on small floodplains or where the larger floodplains adjoin lithic substrates or coastal sand plains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). The species composition of Swamp Sclerophyll Forest is primarily determined by the frequency and duration of waterlogging and the texture, salinity nutrient and moisture content of the soil. The species composition of the trees varies considerably, but the most widespread and abundant dominant trees include Eucalyptus robusta Swamp Mahogany, Melaleuca quinquenervia and, south from Sydney, Eucalyptus botryoides Bangalay and Eucalyptus longifolia Woollybutt (OEH 2015a).

Here we used Southern blot hybridisation, PCR and sequencing approaches to analyse genomic organisation of rRNA genes in all large gymnosperm groups, including Coniferales, Ginkgoales, Gnetales and Cycadales. The data are provided for 27 species (21 genera). The 5S units linked to the 35S rDNA units occur in some but not all Gnetales, Coniferales and in Ginkgo (B30% of the species analysed), while the remaining exhibit separate organisation. The linked 5S rRNA genes may occur as single-copy insertions or as short tandems embedded in the 26S–18S rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS). The 5S transcript may be encoded by the same (Ginkgo, Ephedra) or opposite (Podocarpus) DNA strand as the 18S–5.8S–26S genes. In addition, pseudogenised 5S copies were also found in some IGS types. Both L- and S-type units have been largely homogenised across the genomes. Phylogenetic relationships based on the comparison of 5S coding sequences suggest that the 5S genes independently inserted IGS at least three times in the course of gymnosperm evolution. Frequent transpositions and rearrangements of basic units indicate relatively relaxed selection pressures imposed on genomic organisation of 5S genes in plants.

Its nuts are known to keep well, raising the possibility that they may contain antimicrobial compounds and therefore may have value as a functional food to retard spoilage and prevent food poisoning, as well as potential medicinal antibiotic uses. Methods: A.bidwillii solvent extracts were tested for antimicrobial activity against a panel of bacteria (Aeromonas hydrophila, Alcaligenes feacalis, Bacillus cereus, Citrobacter freundii, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salmonella newport, Serratia marcescens, Shigella sonnei, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus pyogenes) and toxicity in vitro.
