This review suggests that there are two aspects to food safety issues in the use of Australian native plants. First, finding ways to eliminate toxic compounds is essential. Second, during processing of the products, the critical control points need to be carefully tested in order to protect the...
This is because many of the food plants that constituted the diet of people inhabiting the site at 65–53ka would not have been preserved archaeologically42. Indeed, many of the plant foods may have been eaten raw and have, therefore, been less likely to come into contact with fire, or ...
Biodiversity of Marine Plants in an Era of Climate Change: Some Predictions Based on Physiological Performance There are too few data to allow any confident statements on the effects of global climate change on the diversity of marine plant life. However, on the bas... J Beardall,S Beer,JA...
Drought can increase post-fire tree mortality28, and reduce moisture and carbohydrate reserves, making plants more susceptible to fire damage29. Time-series studies show that fire can exacerbate drought impacts on animals or stall recovery from drought30. However, it has not been possible before ...
The future of electricity generation in Australia is being debated, and as claims are made about the merits of nuclear power, come to ABC News Daily for context around its potential role in replacing or augmenting coal and gas power plants and what it could mean for power bills. The podcast...
Light is of critical importance in controlling growth rates of submerged plants, but elevated nutrient levels allow marked increases in plant biomass. Mild nutrient enrichment may increase the growth of aquatics, but further eutrophication may lead to high macroalgal biomass and the loss of seagrasses...
摘要: The authors,distinguished Australian phytochemists,have indexed over 2700 references to the chemistry of Australian plants published over the last 60 years in a CD-ROM format.The references are accessible through searches for authors,compound types,and plant names....

re always developing new strains for the Aussie outdoors. The breeding process is complicated and time consuming and it needs breeders with a forward thinking mind over instant results. It involves decades of selectively choosing male and female cannabis plants to cross together. Only after tens of...
