  • Review of Selected Literature and Epiphyte Classification
    --------- -- ---------· 4 CHAPTER 1 REVIEW OF SELECTED LITERATURE AND EPIPHYTE CLASSIFICATION 1.1 Review of Selected, Relevant Literature (p. 5) Several important aspects of epiphyte biology and ecology that are not investigated as part of this work, are reviewed, particularly those published on more. recently. 1.2 Epiphyte Classification and Terminology (p.11) is reviewed and the system used here is outlined and defined. A glossary of terms, as used here, is given. 5 1.1 Review of Selected, Relevant Li.terature Since the main works of Schimper were published (1884, 1888, 1898), particularly Die Epiphytische Vegetation Amerikas (1888), many workers have written on many aspects of epiphyte biology and ecology. Most of these will not be reviewed here because they are not directly relevant to the present study or have been effectively reviewed by others. A few papers that are keys to the earlier literature will be mentioned but most of the review will deal with topics that have not been reviewed separately within the chapters of this project where relevant (i.e. epiphyte classification and terminology, aspects of epiphyte synecology and CAM in the epiphyt~s). Reviewed here are some special problems of epiphytes, particularly water and mineral availability, uptake and cycling, general nutritional strategies and matters related to these. Also, all Australian works of any substance on vascular epiphytes are briefly discussed. some key earlier papers include that of Pessin (1925), an autecology of an epiphytic fern, which investigated a number of factors specifically related to epiphytism; he also reviewed more than 20 papers written from the early 1880 1 s onwards.

  • Desired Environmental Outcomes
    CairnsPlan – March 2009 Chapter 2 Desired Environmental Outcomes 2.1 Overview The Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEOs) are the foundation of the CairnsPlan. The DEOs are the link between the purpose of the Integrated Planning Act of seeking to achieve ecological sustainability and the measures of the CairnsPlan. The DEOs: • Represent what is sought to be achieved through the CairnsPlan; • Relate to the environment that is defined broadly in the Integrated Planning Act to cover matters and conditions relating to the natural, built and human environments; and • Are expressions of the end states rather than means to ends. The DEOs relate to the whole of the City. Each DEO is sought to be achieved to the extent practicable having regard to each of the other DEOs. The DEOs are grouped under the topics reflecting the three strands of ecological sustainability identified by the Integrated Planning Act: • Ecological processes and natural systems; • Economic development; and • Cultural, economic, physical and social wellbeing of people and communities. However, there are close interrelationships between the DEOs. In a number of cases, elements of the subject of a DEO are mapped to illustrate the overarching planning strategies associated with the DEO. In these cases, the identified elements of the mapping are part of the DEO. Important issues associated with the DEOs are identified in the short discussion which follows each DEO. 2-1 CairnsPlan – March 2009 2-2 CairnsPlan – March 2009 2.2. Ecological Processes and Natural Systems 2.2.1 Ecological Processes and Biodiversity The biodiversity and nature conservation values of the marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems within the City are conserved and enhanced.

D. E. Nicholson, Murrumba) took the chair at 11 a.m. QUESTIONS INCREASES IN BRISBANE MEAT PRICES Mr. LLOYD (Kedron) asked the Minister for Agriculture and Forestry- "(!) Has his attention been drawn to what is apparently a deliberately misleading opinion in the 'Telegraph' of Tuesday, November 8, which attempts to place the responsibility for the seven pence increase in meat prices in Brisbane on the control over the supply of meat in the metropolitan area by the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(2) Is it not a fact that the Cannon Hill Saleyards are merely a facility placed at the disposal of the buyers and sellers of cattle and the Queensland Meat Industry Board has nothing to do with the prices paid for the cattle sold at the Saleyards?" "(3) Would it not be true to state that the only affect that the operations of the Brisbane Abattoir have on the price of meat to the Brisbane housewife is the charge per head imposed on the slaugh­ tering of cattle owned by meat companies and individual buyers?" "(4) For the correct information of the Brisbane public, will he outline the charges made for the slaughtering of cattle at the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(5) How do these charges compare with those imposed by other abattoirs?" Questions [10 NOVEMBER] Questions 1345 "(6) Has there been any recent increase Cannon Hill have had no influence on in the slaughtering charges levied at the recent rises in meat prices.

  • Heavy Vehicle Management Strategy for the Atherton Tablelands Area in Far North Queensland
    MEDIA STATEMENT 12 March 2019 Study to support Far North heavy vehicle management The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is conducting a $480,000 study to develop a Heavy Vehicle Management Strategy for the Atherton Tablelands area in Far North Queensland. TMR District Director (Far North Queensland) Ross Hodgman said TMR were aware of the importance of the transport industry and the growing demand on the road network for transporting mining, agricultural and horticultural products. “With a focus on investment in northern Australia and strong population growth in Far North Queensland, we want to improve the current heavy vehicle management for the Tablelands to meet the growing demands of the transport industry,” Mr Hodgman said. “Extensive community consultation was carried out during the options analysis phase and several potential preferred upgrades and new facilities were identified. “Road is the only viable mode for transportation of freight in the study area and critical to the viability of industry and population centres. “Ensuring efficiency, safety and security of road-based freight supply chains is the backbone of the region.” Further consultation will be undertaken focusing on the following preferred upgrades: • a proposed Heavy Vehicle Rest Area (HVRA) on the Mulligan Highway, north of Mareeba • a proposed HRVA on the Kennedy Highway, west of Speewah • a proposed Heavy Vehicle Stopping Place at the top of the Rex Range (Mossman – Mt Molloy Road). For the study, the Tablelands freight network mainly encompasses the Tablelands Regional Council and the eastern most part of the Shire of Mareeba areas. The study is expected to be completed by late 2019.

  • 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.
