  • Plant Life of Western Australia
    INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm.

  • Methods for Measuring Frost Tolerance of Conifers: a Systematic Map
    Review Methods for Measuring Frost Tolerance of Conifers: A Systematic Map Anastasia-Ainhoa Atucha Zamkova *, Katherine A. Steele and Andrew R. Smith School of Natural Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor LL57 2UW, Gwynedd, UK; [email protected] (K.A.S.); [email protected] (A.R.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Frost tolerance is the ability of plants to withstand freezing temperatures without unrecov- erable damage. Measuring frost tolerance involves various steps, each of which will vary depending on the objectives of the study. This systematic map takes an overall view of the literature that uses frost tolerance measuring techniques in gymnosperms, focusing mainly on conifers. Many different techniques have been used for testing, and there has been little change in methodology since 2000. The gold standard remains the field observation study, which, due to its cost, is frequently substituted by other techniques. Closed enclosure freezing tests (all non-field freezing tests) are done using various types of equipment for inducing artificial freezing. An examination of the literature indicates that several factors have to be controlled in order to measure frost tolerance in a manner similar to observation in a field study. Equipment that allows controlling the freezing rate, frost exposure time and thawing rate would obtain results closer to field studies. Other important factors in study design are the number of test temperatures used, the range of temperatures selected and the decrements between the temperatures, which should be selected based on expected frost tolerance of the tissue and species.

  • Podocarpus Has a fleshy Enlarged Stem with the Seed Capsule Attached
    Some members of the Podocarpaceae It now seems as if the general lock down is being eased across the country and I am looking to do other things than write these notes which seemed helpful eleven weeks ago but hopefully soon will not be so. Not quite a bakers dozen but one more than a S.I. preferred unit. Also I must get on with the June FACTT Newsletter which I like to think is as eagerly awaited as these notes. This note is about a family, members of which are found in fossils of Gondwana times and now in those countries which formed the original landmass and some other countries. Podocarpus has a fleshy enlarged stem with the seed capsule attached. It is easy to see the possibility of birds spreading the seeds, unlike Nothofagus where the seed is less likely to be spread widely one would think. Regarding the movement of continents it needs to be mentioned that a million is a very large number. If, as Australia is presently doing, a landmass moves 70mm a year in just 1 million years; a short period of time in geological terms; the distance traveled is 70km. Australia is moving so fast in fact that GPS can’t keep up. Some people think that taxonomists fall into two broad categories - Lumpers and Splinters. Lumpers tend to say -Well the species are so similar they are in fact one. Splitters on the other hand tend to the view that the fine details represent sufficient differences to recognise they are different species.
