MVG04 Tropical Eucalypt Open Forests DRAFT
MVG 4 - TROPICAL EUCALYPT OPEN FORESTS Tropical eucalypt savanna forest Kakadu National Park, NT (Photo: D. Keith) Overview Also known as tropical savannas. MVG 4 occurs in high rainfall areas of Cape York in Queensland, on Melville and Bathurst Islands, the Top End in Northern Territory, and in Western Australia close to Kimberley coast. Structurally it is an open forest with a tall grass-dominated groundlayer. Dominated by eucalypts, primarily species of Corymbia and Eucalyptus, notably the subgenera Fibridia and Leprolaena, but the tree canopy also includes a range of tropical non-eucalypt genera. The grassy understorey is dominated by annual and perennial species exclusively with C4 photosynthetic pathways. Closely associated with tropical monsoonal climates with wet summers and dry winters. Regularly fire-prone in dry seasons. Facts and figures Major Vegetation Group MVG 4 – Tropical Eucalypt Open Forests Major Vegetation Subgroups xx.

Trees are taller with straighter boles and the canopy cover is greater than in the savanna woodlands of MVG 12. Leaves of the tree canopies are sclerophyllous and vary in size from notophyll (20 – 45 cm2) to mesophyll (45 – 150 cm2). Broad-leaved shrubs, palms and cycads occur in the understorey (Dunlop 2001; Beard et al. -
Water Use by Riparian Vegetation Along the Daly River

Cooka, Anthony O’Gradyb,# and Derek Eamusc aCSIRO Land and Water, Urrbrae SA 5064 bKey Centre for Tropical Wildlife Management, Northern Territory University Darwin NT 0909 cInstitute for Water and Environmental Resource Management, University of Technology, Sydney, PO Box 123, Broadway NSW 2007 *Corresponding author: Fax: +61-8-8303-8750 #Current Address: CRC/CSIRO Forestry, GPO Box 251-12, Hobart 7001 TAS E-mail addresses: [email protected] (S. Lamontagne), [email protected] (P.G. Cook), tony.o’[email protected] (T. O’Grady) [email protected] (D. Eamus) 1 Abstract Soil matric potentials and the deuterium (2H) composition at natural abundance levels of xylem water, soil water and groundwater were used to evaluate whether trees use groundwater during the dry season in the riparian zone of the Daly River (Northern Territory, Australia). Groundwater was a significant source of water for plant transpiration, probably accounting for more than 50% of the water transpired during the dry season. Several water use strategies were inferred within the riparian plant community. Melaleuca argentea W. Fitzg and Barringtonia acutangula (L.) Gaertn.) appeared to be obligate phreatophytes as they used groundwater almost exclusively and were associated with riverbanks and lower terraces with shallow (<5 m) water tables. Several species appeared to be facultative phreatophytes (including Cathorium umbellatum (Vahl.) Kosterm. and Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth.) and tended to rely more heavily on soil water with increased elevation in the riparian zone. -

These functions are supported by existing services and infrastructure. All this occurs within a landscape framework. It is recognised that the landscape development of the site is a significant factor in establishing a distinct character that reflects the overall development philosophy and objectives as described in the Masterplan. The landscape masterplan prepared by Greening Australia in 2005 established a landscape approach ‘that incorporates and builds on the strengths of the Rapid Creek catchment’s unique plant communities that include riparian monsoon forest, eucalypt woodland, melaleuca swamps and wetlands”. The resultant landscape deliberately introduces international and national visitors to the beauty and diversity of the Top End environment and associated flora. In order to provide clear direction to future works within the precinct, it has been recognised that a ‘kit of part’ comprising distinct landscape treatments is required. -
Southern Gulf, Queensland
Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations. -
BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands. -
