To understand, strengthen and develop markets Project Title: Australian Cut Flower Best Bets Program RIRDC Project No.: DAV-193A Researcher: Anthony T. Slater & Cynthia J. Carson Organisation: Department of Primary Industries (Vic) Phone: (03) 9210 9222 Fax: (03) 9800 3521 Email: [email protected] Objectives To improve the profitability of the wildflower industry by expanding the Victorian “Best Bets” program to include exporters around Australia. This included the provision of information on flowers that the markets want and are undersupplied, including details on the crops, the regions where they are suitable to grow in Queensland and nurseries where they can be obtained. Background The Wildflower Industry has been growing mainly due to the increasing demand for wildflowers in Australia’s export markets. In the 1990’s wildflower exports did not increase as fast as expected, as the supply of wildflowers did not meet the demand. The large number of types of wildflowers causes a dilemma for growers. The demand for individual crops was not clear and there were no market statistics for the majority of species or cultivars of wildflowers. The Victorian Best Bets program has provided information on crops with a current export market demand, and has been a useful tool for growers in planning future crops for the export flower industry. This project sought to expand the Victorian program for growers in other Australian states, particularly Queensland growers. Research Working with exporters relevant to Queensland growers, an analysis was conducted to produce a list of cut flowers crops for which there is unsatisfied demand. These companies are located in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, consequently the results of the analysis will also be important for growers in other states who use these export companies. For these cut flower crops the analysis also looked at their current price, any expected price change, their postharvest efficiency and cost, and any State to State differences in demands. Outcomes The results of the analysis were published as a separate report (see below). The crops identified from this analysis should not be considered as guaranteed winners, however, all sectors of the flower industry can benefit from collectively listing which flowers will be in demand in the next few years. Information has also been produced to aid Queensland growers in increasing plantations of these crops. Implications As all sectors of the industry need to be profitable, the Best Bets program is a valuable market research tool to provide information to growers to help expand the industry’s supply base. This will in turn increase the supply of flowers that exporters are receiving orders for, and therefore increase Australia’s flower exports. Publications Slater, T. (2002).

Background While the Australian flower export industry has been operating for some time, few macro level analyses have been undertaken. The current report advances the work undertaken by Brooks (2001) and responds to continued industry and policy level needs. Research For the first time, information on seasonal trends and exports to a 42 export markets is presented. The report also includes a number of methodological suggestions for future studies. It is a timely report, coming at a point of increased recognition of the need to progress the measurement and analysis of many smaller Australian primary industries Outcomes The results bring out patterns in the flower export industry. Seasonal trends and the strength of particular flower categories and export markets are clear.

  • I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?
    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.

  • Ecology of Proteaceae with Special Reference to the Sydney Region
    951 Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region P.J. Myerscough, R.J. Whelan and R.A. Bradstock Myerscough, P.J.1, Whelan, R.J.2, and Bradstock, R.A.3 (1Institute of Wildlife Research, School of Biological Sciences (A08), University of Sydney, NSW 2006; 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, NSW 2522; 3Biodiversity Research and Management Division, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967, Hurstville, NSW 1481) Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region. Cunninghamia 6(4): 951–1015. In Australia, the Proteaceae are a diverse group of plants. They inhabit a wide range of environments, many of which are low in plant resources. They support a wide range of animals and other organisms, and show distinctive patterns of distribution in relation to soils, climate and geological history. These patterns of distribution, relationships with nutrients and other resources, interactions with animals and other organisms and dynamics of populations in Proteaceae are addressed in this review, particularly for the Sydney region. The Sydney region, with its wide range of environments, offers great opportunities for testing general questions in the ecology of the Proteaceae. For instance, its climate is not mediterranean, unlike the Cape region of South Africa, south- western and southern Australia, where much of the research on plants of Proteaceae growing in infertile habitats has been done. The diversity and abundance of Proteaceae vary in the Sydney region inversely with fertility of habitats. In the region’s rainforest there are few Proteaceae and their populations are sparse, whereas in heaths in the region, Proteaceae are often diverse and may dominate the canopy.

  • Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific
    Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific Craig Costion School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5005 Thesis by publication submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology July 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis advances plant biodiversity knowledge in three separate bioregions, Micronesia, the Queensland Wet Tropics, and South Australia. A systematic treatment of the endemic flora of Micronesia is presented for the first time thus advancing alpha taxonomy for the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot region. The recognized species boundaries are used in combination with all known botanical collections as a basis for assessing the degree of threat for the endemic plants of the Palau archipelago located at the western most edge of Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. A preliminary assessment is conducted utilizing the IUCN red list Criteria followed by a new proposed alternative methodology that enables a degree of threat to be established utilizing existing data. Historical records and archaeological evidence are reviewed to establish the minimum extent of deforestation on the islands of Palau since the arrival of humans. This enabled a quantification of population declines of the majority of plants endemic to the archipelago.
