  • 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.

  • Central Reserves Strategic Management Plan 2017-2022
    City of Melville Central Reserves Strategic Management Plan 2017-2022 July 2017 Executive Summary The Central Reserves are located in the suburb of Ardross, Booragoon, Mount Pleasant and Willagee in the centre of the City of Melville. The seven reserves (Carawatha Bushland; Al Richardson and Reg Seal Reserves; Connelly, Hatfield, Harry Stickland and Len Shearer Parks) include 6.44 hectares of bushland that has been has been moderately isolated from other terrestrial bushland remnants for approximately 40 years. These reserves were rated low in terms of their overall value in the NAAMP. Of the four ratings, all parks/reserves were rated in the second lowest tier, except Harry Stickland Park which was rated in the second highest tier, and Carawatha Bushland which was not managed as a bushland reserve in 2013 and therefore not rated. Of the 15 assets targeted for monitoring and management, the 4 assets of regional, state and/or national significance were: 1 ecological community Bassendean Vegetation Complex – Central and South 3 bird species Calyptorhynchus banksii, Forest Red-Tailed Black-Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo Smicrornis brevirostris, Weebill The vegetation is regionally significant, with less than 30% of the Bassendean Central and South vegetation complex remaining uncleared. The 125 native plant species recorded onsite represent approximately 30% of the species recorded in the City of Melville: of the plants of regional, state or national significance: 1 shrub (Jacksonia sericea), which would be of regional significance if naturally occurring rather than planted in the Central Reserves; another five tree / shrub species are at very high risk of local extinction: Banksia grandis (4 plants) Banksia ilicifolia (1 plant) Eremaea pauciflora (2 plants) Hakea prostrata (1 plant) Persoonia saccata (5 plants) The 26 native animal species (2 bat, 5 reptile and 19 bird species) recorded onsite represent 10% of species recorded in the City of Melville, but the inventory for the Central Reserves is not comprehensive.

  • 5.4 Banksia Woodland Assessment
    5.4 BANKSIA WOODLAND ASSESSMENT Banksia Woodland is known to be supported by the study area, and therefore, an assessment was carried out to diagnose/characterise, map and quantify the extent of Banksia woodland TEC within and connected to the study area. Within areas of Banksia woodland within the study area and adjacent areas (for the purposes of “patch” mapping), vegetation condition was confirmed or determined and mapped in accordance with the adaptation of the Keighery (1994) and Trudgen (1988) condition scales (as per EPA 2016). The Banksia woodland assessment methodology requires sampling of quadrats and analysis of this data to determine FCTs based on analysis against the Gibson et al. (1994) dataset. Areas of Banksia woodland within the study area were sampled from 36 pegged 10 m x 10 m quadrats. FVC’s tailored diagnostic tool has been developed in direct reference to the criteria listed in the Conservation Advice Threatened Species Scientific Committee (2016), which incorporates assessment of the following: IBRA region soil and landform systems overstorey layer (Banksia species) emergent or other tree layer (associated non-Banksia tree species) understorey/mid-ground sclerophyllous shrub layer species herbaceous ground layer species FCT continuity/connectedness condition. The results of the field assessment and data analysis were used to determine the distribution of varying FCTs within mapped areas of Banksia woodland, which were also spatially mapped in terms of their condition. Spatial mapping of patches of Banksia woodland and the buffers around these was then carried out, by grouping Banksia woodland of adequate condition separated by less than 30 m.

    Records of the Western Australian Museum 17: 343-349 (1995). Notes on the ethology of Rolandia maculata (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Masarinae), a pollen wasp with a psammophore Terry F. Houston Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000 Abstract - Rolandia maculata (Meade-Waldo), a pollen wasp restricted to southwestern Australia, produces a single summer generation of adults. A nesting population was observed in Kings Park, Perth, where females excavated burrows solitarily in level sandy ground from late November to January. Females carried dry soil excavated from the burrows in a psammophore (formed by the posterioriy hollowed head capsule, propleura and fore legs, all of which bear fringes of long setae) and scattered it up to 4m from the burrow entrances. The burrows and the brood cells constructed singly at the lower ends of burrows were uncemented and unlined. Provisions were typical of Masarinae in consisting of moist masses of pollen, the pollen being derived from flowers of Jacksonia species (Fabaceae). Nests were visited by the wasp HyptlOgaster aremcola Turner (Gasteruptiidae), an apparent parasitoid or cleptoparasite of the species. INTRODUCTION and 27 November; 2, 3, 9, 10, 15 and 16 December; Masarinae are unusual among the aculeate 6 January; and 12 and 22 February). Visits were wasps in having a strictly vegetarian diet in both made between the hours of 9 am - 5 pm (but larval and adult stages. Females provision their chiefly between 10 am 3 pm) and totalled in brood cells with pollen and nectar just as do the excess of 20 hours. All visits were made during bees.
