The plant biomass of a Eucalyptus signata-dominated forest 15 m tall growing on infertile sands off the Queensland coast is characterized in detail. The forest has a biomass of 180 t/ha, 90% of which is found in the nine species achievin... W Westman,R Rogers - 《Australian Journal of...
Herbivory more limiting than competition on early and established native plants in an invaded meadow The dominance of nonnative plants coupled with declines of native plants suggests that competitive displacement drives extinctions, yet empirical examples ...

It is a threat to the pasture lands of central Queensland and has the potential to convert much traditional pasture land into parthenium-dominated communities. This study was initiated to identify beneficial pasture plants that may be able to competitively displace parthenium weed from the present ly...
Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have been harnessing the powers of native ingredients for tens of thousands of years, by using Indigenous produce – whether sea creatures, land animals, insects or plants – for both food and medicine. Today “bush tucker”, as it’...
Using the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative database7, we determined native tree status (native or non-native) according to the Global Naturalized Alien Flora6and the KEW Plants of the World databases5. This dataset encompassed 471,888 plots, of which 4.9% of plots were invaded, or containe...
If people have the cards , they can more easily request the plants they want. The director said, “We create the cards with the hope that people can learn more about native plants and grow them." 4. Why do people feel defeated in a native plant nursery A. They can't recognize little...
A team led by University of Queensland researcher Dr Diana Fisher blames the bulk of the decline on feral cats, and highlights savanna management as a likely key to tropical mammal survival. Dr Fisher, from UQ's School of Biological Sciences, said the international team of collaborators from un...
A logical starting point is to look for natural genetic resources and unique drought tolerance mechanism in plants that can tolerate extreme drought conditions to bioengineer enhanced drought tolerant crops. A unique group of 135 angiosperm species from 13 families, commonly stated as resurrection ...
(20%) without spinosad were applied in two control plots. Each plot was approximately 1 ha in size. Even though the plots consisted of many different potential host plants, such as papaya, orange and guava, the mango dominated the plots with between 80 and 147 trees per plot. A dollop (...
