    Flora and fauna assessment for the Calingiri study area Prepared for Muchea to Wubin Integrated Project Team (Main Roads WA, Jacobs and Arup) 5.3 FIELD SURVEY 5.3.1 Flora and vegetation A total of 296 plant taxa (including subspecies and varieties) representing 154 genera and 55 families were recorded in the study area. This total is comprised of 244 (82.4%) native species and 52 (17.6%) introduced (weed) species, and included 60 annual, 223 perennial species, one species that is known to be either annual or perennial and 12 unknown life cycles (Appendix 8). The current survey recorded a similar number of species to previous flora surveys conducted along GNH and higher average diversity (average number of taxa per km) (Table 5-7).

Inventory of Rubiaceae species in Mt. Pao Range, Ilocos Norte, Northwestern Luzon, Philippines. Biodiversitas 22: 3604-3612. Botanical assessments in the Philippines are mostly conducted on declared Protected Areas (PAs). However, many remaining potentially interesting and largely unexplored floristic sites are not considered PA, one of which is the Mt. Pao Range in the Municipality of Adams, located in Ilocos Norte, Philippines. Among the flowering plant family, Rubiaceae is one with the largest number of endemic species and genera in the Philippines Thus, floristic surveys of Rubiaceae species were conducted, and collections were made from September 2019 to March 2021. A total of 39 species belonging to 13 tribes and 24 genera of the family were recorded. These constitute 7.09% of the total Philippine Rubiaceae.

    Fire History of the Northeastern Portion of Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

    R.J. & J.D. Mastrogiuseppe Fire history of the northeastern portion of Crater Lake National Park, Oregon Abstract. A fire history chronology extending for 480 years (1501-1981) was developed from tree ring studies of fire-scarred ponderosa and lodgepole pines growing in a 640 ha (1600 ac) study area in the northeastern portion of Crater Lake National Park. Fire control records were examined to compile a total of 25 lightning fires which burned and were suppressed in or near the study area during a 54-year period (1931-1984). Prescribed fire was introduced to the northern portion of the study area in the autumn of 1978 and to the southern portion in the late spring of 1980. Although fire-free intervals (MFIs) range from 1 to 41 years, short intervals are more frequent. Significant differences (p < .05) were found between MFIs for the pre-settlement period, prior to 1850 (MFI=4.4 years), the settlement period, 1851-1939 (MFI=2.0 years), and the effective suppression period, since 1940 (MFI=17.3 years). As evidenced by a historic photograph (circa 1920), an open forest existed near the study area during the early part of this century, with few understory shrubs and small trees. No extensive fires have occurred since the early 1900s, however, resulting in the accumulation of high loadings of live and dead fuels for a minimum of 60 years. Future lightning fires may be contained or suppressed by park management rather than being managed as prescribed natural fires. Introduction: The establishment of Crater Lake National Park (CLNP) in 1902 took place during the settlement period of the northwestern United States.
  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales

    Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales

    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.
