Water stress greatly reduced seed germination (45% germination at osmotic potentials below -0.2 MPa). Germination was completely inhibited at water potentials of -0.4 to -1.0 MPa. This species is moderately tolerant to salinity, with over 50% of seeds germinating at low levels of salinity (60 mM NaCl), and moderate germination (49%) occurring at 120 mM NaCl, it can germinate well in both alkaline (pH 10-83%) and acidic (pH 4-80%) conditions. The results of this study have contributed to our understanding of the germination and emergence of green galenia, and this will assist in developing tools and strategies for the long term management of this noxious weed in Victoria and other parts of Australia.

Location Gippsland, south-eastern Australia. Methods In 50 2-ha stands ranging in age from ≤ 5 years to mature stands > 100 years, we undertook repeated avian surveys, performed detailed habitat measurements and estimated amounts of above-ground carbon. Extensive wildfire reduced the number of sites to 28 (seven in each of four age classes) upon which analyses and inferences were made. We also analysed data on carbon storage and some bird responses from previously published studies. Results Mature vegetation (> 100 years) had the greatest richness, abundance and biomass of birds. Key ecological resources, such as tree-hollows for nesting, generally occurred mostly in stands > 60 years. Avian richness per unit of above-ground carbon storage was relatively low for stands of 20–60 years. While above-ground carbon storage appeared to increase in a monotonic fashion as stands age and mature, there were quantum increases in all measures of avian biodiversity in mature stands (> 100 years). Main conclusions Our results suggest that carbon is organized in a different way, with substantially greater biodiversity benefits, in very old stands. Mature vegetation simultaneously maximizes both avian biodiversity and above-ground carbon storage. These results bolster arguments for allocating highest priorities to the preservation of old-growth forest stands rather than alternative investments (e.g. reafforestation for carbon sequestration).]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:46:35 AEST ]]> Design of synthetic impact response functions for flood vulnerability assessment under climate change conditions: case studies in two selected coastal zones in Australia and Japan http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6605 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:46:11 AEST ]]> Traditional ecological knowledge in nontraditional communities: a case study in Jiuzhaigou National Park http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6511 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:46:05 AEST ]]> Cool temperate rainforest and adjacent forests classification using airborne LiDAR data http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6423 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:46:01 AEST ]]> Large versus small wood in streams : the effect of wood dimension on macroinvertebrate communities http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6365 0.1 m diameter), excluding any smaller pieces. However, this may neglect a major component of in-stream habitat, as small wood can constitute the majority of pieces, particularly in small streams. The ecological benefit of large wood is well established, but corresponding benefits associated with small wood (0.05-0.1 m diameter) have not been demonstrated. To test the effect of wood dimension on macroinvertebrate community composition, we compared the fauna occupying large wood habitats with that occupying small wood at eight streams in south-eastern Australia. The relationships between wood dimensions and its macroinvertebrate fauna were complex. Community composition did not vary with wood dimension, and no significant correlations were found between other macroinvertebrate attributes (including family richness and evenness) and wood dimension, including diameter. However, analysis of covariance suggested that large wood supported a greater diversity and abundance of macroinvertebrates, indicating that the method of analysis could influence the result. Adjustment for differences in sample dimension using rarefaction determined that these findings were likely to be a result of the surface area and volumes sampled varying with the dimension of the wood. Per unit surface area, and per unit volume, small wood supported a similar number of families to large wood. Thus we conclude that, relative to the available surface area, small and large wood can be equivalent in their contribution to the available habitat in a stream. Therefore, the potential value of small wood as a habitat resource warrants its explicit consideration for inclusion in ecological and rehabilitation studies.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:57 AEST ]]> Synthetic impact response functions for flood vulnerability analysis and adaptation measures in coastal zones under changing climatic conditions: a case study in Gippsland coastal region, Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6355 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:57 AEST ]]> Thinning, fire and birds in Boola Boola state forest, Victoria, Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6348 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:56 AEST ]]> Providing a flexible learning environment: are on-line lectures the answer? http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6285 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:52 AEST ]]> Recruitment of Eucalyptus strzeleckii (Myrtaceae) in remnant patches of native vegetation in the Latrobe Valley and South Gippsland, Victoria http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5795 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:45:22 AEST ]]> Ethnobotany, rattan agroforestry, and conservation of ecosystem services in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14402 Tue 30 Nov 2021 09:32:57 AEDT ]]> A survey of early-career researchers in Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14993 Tue 30 Mar 2021 14:47:29 AEDT ]]> Winda lingo parugoneit or Why set the bush on fire?
