Germination significantly declined as salinity and osmotic stress increased for both populations, with seeds from the Tempy population were more affected by NaCl >100 mM than seeds from Werribee, but in neither population was there any observed effect of pH on germination (>80% germination in both populations at all tested pH ranges). For both populations, germination significantly decreased as burial depth increased however, the two populations differed with regard to response to burial depth treatment, whereby seeds from the Tempy population had higher emergence than those from Werribee at 0.5 cm burial depth. These results suggest that light-reducing management techniques such as mulching or use of crop residues will be unsuccessful for preventing germination of wild lettuce. By contrast, burial of seeds at a depth of at least 4 cm will significantly reduce their emergence.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:02:08 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13272 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:26 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13092 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:17 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12294 8-12 years after treatment, as well as untreated (control) sites. Treatments comprised fencing to exclude stock, spraying or slashing to reduce weed cover, followed by planting with tube stock. Across the six subcatchments, 12 reference (remnant) sites were used to provide a benchmark for species richness, structural and recruitment characteristics and to aid interpretation of the effects of the restoration intervention. Vegetation structure was well developed in the treated sites by 4-8 years after treatment. However, structural complexity was higher at remnant sites than at treated or untreated sites due to a higher richness of small shrubs. Tree and shrub recruitment occurred in all remnant sites and at 64% of sites treated >4 years ago. Most seedling recruitment at treatment sites was by Acacia spp. This assessment provides data on species richness, structure and recruitment characteristics following restoration interventions. Data from this study will contribute to longitudinal studies of vegetation processes in riparian landscapes of south-western Victoria. © 2014 Ecological Society of Australia and Wiley Publishing Asia Pty Ltd.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:00:34 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8261 RS > CS. Six years after reforestation, TOC and TN in the RS increased by 30 and 24 %, respectively, compared with 9 and 8 % for 3 years. The EC, BD, and pH decreased by 26, 14, 14 %, respectively, 6 years after reforestation. Creek bank reforestation associated improvements in TOC, TN, BD, EC, and pH may have positive impact on pollutant and salinity abatement. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:53:19 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3261 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:34:13 AEST ]]> http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:15409 Thu 04 Nov 2021 09:06:12 AEDT ]]>
