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 ]]> Influence of selected environmental factors on seed germination and seedling emergence of Dinebra panicea var. brachiata (Steud.) http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13551 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:40 AEST ]]> Factors effecting the germination and emergence of a rangeland weed European heliotrope (Heliotropium europaeum L.) http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13521 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:39 AEST ]]> An investigation of the soil seedbank and seed germination of perennial species in Belah (Casuarina pauper)woodlands in north-west Victoria http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13354 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:30 AEST ]]> In vitro assessment of arsenic mobility in historical mine waste dust using simulated lung fluid http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13309 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:28 AEST ]]> Influence of controlled burning on the mobility and temporal variations of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) in the soils of a legacy gold mine site in Central Victoria, Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13272 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:26 AEST ]]> Environmental factors affecting the germination and emergence of white horehound (Marrubium vulgare L.) : A weed of arid-zone areas http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13099 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:17 AEST ]]> Seed germination response of a noxious agricultural weed Echium plantagineum to temperature, light, pH, drought stress, salinity, heat and smoke http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13092 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:17 AEST ]]> Environmental factors associated with the foliage cover of invasive fairy grass (Lachnagrostis filiformis) in Victoria, Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13058 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:15 AEST ]]> Assessment of potentially toxic metal contamination in the soils of a legacy mine site in Central Victoria, Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12988 Zn > As > Cr > Cu > Pb > Ni > Co > Hg > Cd. The status of site was assessed directly by comparing the metal concentrations in the study area with known Australian and Victorian average top soil levels and the health investigation levels set by the National Environmental Protection Measures (NEPM) and the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) of the State of Western Australia. Although, median concentrations of As, Hg, Pb, Cu and Zn exceeded the average Australian and Victorian top soil concentrations, only As and Hg exceeded the ecological investigation levels (EIL) set by DEC and thus these metals are considered as risk to the human and aquatic ecosystems health due to their increase in concentration and toxicity. In an environment of climate fluctuation with increased storm events and forest fires may mobilize these toxic metals contaminants, pose a real threat to the environment and the community. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:11 AEST ]]> Controlled burn and immediate mobilization of potentially toxic elements in soil, from a legacy mine site in Central Victoria, Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12987 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:11 AEST ]]> An assessment of riparian restoration outcomes in two rural catchments in south-western Victoria : Focusing on tree and shrub species richness, structure and recruitment characteristics 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 ]]> Effects of prescribed fire and post-fire rainfall on mercury mobilization and subsequent contamination assessment in a legacy mine site in Victoria, Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12176 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:00:28 AEST ]]> Differences in composition and vertical distribution of Collembola from canopies of three Australian rainforests http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12126 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:00:25 AEST ]]> Long term effect of fire, flood and grazing on invertebrates in Australia’s arid zone: Collembola and Formicidae http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12125 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:00:25 AEST ]]> Implications of narrow crop row spacing in managing weeds in mungbean (Vigna radiata) http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11945 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:14 AEST ]]> Herbicide efficacy for aquatic Alternanthera philoxeroides management in an early stage of invasion : Integrating above-ground biomass, below-ground biomass and viable stem fragmentation http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11764 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:02 AEST ]]> Risk of post-fire metal mobilization into surface water resources : A review http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11619 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:55 AEST ]]> Rainfall and grazing : Not the only barriers to arid-zone conifer recruitment http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11413 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:43 AEST ]]> The unquantified risk of post-fire metal concentration in soil : A Review http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11378 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:41 AEST ]]> Size-dependent characterisation of historical gold mine wastes to examine human pathways of exposure to arsenic and other potentially toxic elements http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11148 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:28 AEST ]]> Factors affecting seed germination of feather fingergrass (Chloris virgata) http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11028 73%) was observed in the range of pH 6.4 to 8 than the other tested pH levels.

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.
