Abstract:

Proponents of importation of the European bumblebee, Bombus terrestris (L.), into Australia for pollination of commercial greenhouse crops argue that this species will have little impact on Australian native ecosystems because it prefers to forage on flowers of introduced species of plants rather than Australian native plants. However, data presented as evidence of preference for introduced plants have been equivocal. This study compared the attractiveness of introduced and Australian native plants to free-foraging B. terrestris in a garden at the interface between an urban area and native vegetation in the Australian island of Tasmania, where a feral population of B. terrestris had been established for over 10 years. No evidence was found to support the proposal that B. terrestris forages on flowers of introduced plants in preference to those of Australian native plants. The numbers of B. terrestris seen foraging per 1000 flowers did not differ significantly between introduced plants and Australian native plants, and the preferred food sources of B. terrestris included flowers of both introduced and Australian native species. Because B. terrestris forages frequently on many species of both introduced and native plants, assessments of its ecological impacts must include the effects of altered pollination on recruitment rates in both introduced weeds and native plants, and reduced quantities of nectar and pollen of native plants on recruitment rates of dependent fauna.

Abstract:

Abstract The cut-flower and potted plant industries in Australia have traditionally been based on exotic species. However, native Australian plants have gradually assumed greater importance—particularly in the expanding export trade, but also on local markets. Floriculture is practiced in all Australian states, with the major production areas for exotic cut-flowers (e.g., roses, carnations) and potted plants being close to the state capital cities. The cultivation of native Australian flowers and of South African Proteaceae tends to be somewhat more decentralized.

Abstract:

The phosphorus (P) requirements of Australian plants are reviewed. Many Australian plants have highly developed abilities for acquiring and conservatively using P. This is seen as an evolutionary response to the combined environmental pressures of fire, soil P levels that are in the lower part of the range for world soils, and low and eratic rainfall. In natural Australian ecosystems, more than 50% of the P in the A horizon is in organic combination. Organic matter is the main source for the growth of perennial plants, so the only successful assessments of ‘available’ P measure labile organic P and microbial P. However, the inorganic P of ashbeds is essential to the rapid establishment of fire ephemerals and tree seedlings in natural ecosystems. Almost all Australian plants develop associations with mycorrhizal fungi, or produce hairy roots, as ways of increasing P uptake. Highly developed abilities to redistribute P from ageing to young tissues enable Australian plants to have a low P requirement per unit of biomass production. This also results in low P losses in sawlogs from natural forests, but not necessarily from short-rotation plantations. The special role of P in the ecology and conservation of heathlands is reviewed. Finally, an overview is given of the P requirements of Australian plants being grown in soil-less media in nurseries.

Abstract:

The Australian native edible plant industry is rapidly expanding. We provide a review of the horticultural research that has been carried out on the top 14 commercially significant Australian native edible plants; Acacia spp. Miller (wattle), Acronychia acidula F.Muell. (lemon aspen), Backhousia citriodora F.Muell. (lemon myrtle), Eremocitrus glauca (Lindl.) Burkill (desert lime) and Microcitrus spp. Swingle (native lime), Hibiscus heterophyllus Vent. and Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (rosella), Kunzea pomifera F.Muell. (muntries), Podocarpus elatus R.Br. ex Endl. (Illawarra plum), Prostanthera spp. La Billardiere (native mint), Santalum acuminatum R.Br. (quandong), Solanum centrale Black (bush tomato), Syzygium leuhmannii F.Muell. (riberry), Tasmannia spp. R.Br. (native pepper), Terminalia ferdinandiana (= T. latipes Benth. subsp. psilocarpa Pedley) (kakadu plum) and Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pallas) Kuntze (warrigal greens). The research on most of these species has focused on propagation, breeding, cultivation, nutritional value and the isolation of natural products. On none of the species has research been completed in all these areas, and three species have no research published on them. We describe horticultural research on two other commercial species, Backhousia anisata Vickery (aniseed myrtle) and Davidsonia pruriens F.Muell. var. pruriens and var. jerseyana (Davidson’s plum), and one species with commercial potential, Pringlea antiscorbutica R.Br. ex Hook.f. (kerguelen cabbage). We identify areas that require further research and issues of concern, such as indigenous intellectual property rights and environmental implications.

Abstract:

Chronic wounds are a costly and growing problem to global health care systems and affect the productivity of patients and their quality of life. In all cultures, people have used medicinal plants for the treatment and alleviation of various health issues. This project has shown a new potential role for the primary extracts and isolated compounds of C. terminalis derived-kino and the primary extracts of H. tiliaceus (L.) leaves as wound healing agents in vitro, and hence, potentially paves the way for future novel therapeutics for the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds.

Abstract:

High antioxidant capacities have been linked with a reduction in the incidence of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, neurodegeneration, inflammation and cancer. Furthermore, phenolic antioxidants may not only have protective effects against these diseases, but may also have therapeutic potential in reversing them by modulation of the cellular redox state. Thus, plants with high antioxidant capacities have potential in the development of new chemotherapeutic treatments to prevent and treat some cancers. Several native Australian plant species including Terminalia ferdinandiana Exell (Kakadu plum), Tasmannia lanceolata (Poir.) A.C.Sm., (Tasmannian pepper), Syzygium australe (H.L.Wendl. ex Link) B.Hyland (brush cherry), Syzygium luehmannii (F.Muell.) L.A.S.Johnson (riberry), Davidsonia pruriens F.Muell. (Davidson’s plum), Elaeocarpus angustifolius Blume (quandong), Kunzea pomifera F.Muell. (muntries), Podocarpus elatus R.Br.ex Endl., (Illawarra plum) and Acronychia acidula F.Muell., (lemon aspen) have recently been reported to have extraordinarily high antioxidant content and were therefore selected to screen for the ability to inhibit proliferation of selected carcinoma cell lines.

This thesis examines Greater Melbournes indigenous plants movement from the 1930s to the early twenty first century. It demonstrates the important scientific and educational role of the public intellectual, Professor John Turner, and of the Melbourne University Botany School which he led for thirty five years. The case study of the movement within the City of Sandringham and its successor the City of Bayside reveals how the inhabitants of an urbanised are responded to threats to the indigenous trees and wildflowers of their neighbourhood, stimulating botanists to assist them and using political means in order to achieve their conservation objectives. The thesis draws upon a range of local archives, conservation literature and private papers.

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: My master’s research combines aspects of pollination biology and invasion biology to explore the invasive predictors and impacts of a globally invasive group of plants – Australian acacias. Specifically, I investigate the role of reproductive biology in their invasion success (Chapter 2), the impacts of a specific species, Acacia saligna, on native plant-pollinator communities in South Africa (Chapter 3), and if the impact of A. saligna on native plant species can be predicted, based on floral trait similarity (Chapter 4). Australian acacias possess many floral traits implicated in plant invasion success, including extensive, dense floral displays, prolific seed production, long-lived seed banks, and propensity for vegetative reproduction. In Chapter 2 of my thesis, co-authors and I investigate if such reproductive traits influence whether or not a species becomes invasive once it is introduced by qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing literature and data collected from published and unpublished data. We found that invasive species reach reproductive maturity earlier and are more commonly able to resprout. Our findings have important implications for management of existing Acacia invasions as well as the assessment and prevention of further introductions of Acacia species leading to invasion. Impacts of invasive plant species on native plant visitation and consequent reproduction are often negative and have important implications for future ecosystem health. Acacia saligna is a problematic woody invasive shrub in many Mediterranean regions, and in South Africa, it invades fynbos vegetation, which boasts one of the highest plant diversities per area in the world as well as many specialized pollination mutualisms. It blooms during the flowering peak of most native species and forms dense, showy floral displays, thus the possibility of pollinator-mediated interactions with co-flowering native species is high. In Chapter 3, I assess the impact of flowering A. saligna on insect visitation to co-flowering native species by conducting flower observations at both an invaded and uninvaded (control) site. One of the native species most-visited by native honeybees, Roepera fulva, had high flower visitor overlap with A. saligna and suffered significantly lower visitation from all insects and from bees when A. saligna was present than at the control site. The native honeybee appears to be the most important visitor to A. saligna as it was the most frequent and mobile. Due to its foraging efficiency and dominance in pollinator communities, Apis mellifera subsp. capensis could be an important mediator of the negative effect of A. saligna on co-flowering natives, especially those frequently visited by honeybees. The use of floral traits as predictors of a species’ effect on co-flowering plants via pollination is commonly used in pollination biology. In the fourth chapter of my thesis, I apply the predictive principle of floral traits on flower visitation to see if floral traits can predict the impact of an invasive plant species on co-flowering native species, and if so, which floral traits are the most important. Following the same flower observation protocol as Chapter 3, I assess two measures of invasion impact on native flowers – change in visitation rate to native plant species between invaded and uninvaded sites and flower visitor overlap between A. saligna and native species – and test for a correlation with floral trait similarity of native species to and A. saligna. Similarity of categorical traits and all traits combined (categorical and continuous) were significantly positively correlated with flower visitor overlap, indicating that native species with categorical traits similar to A. saligna were more likely to share flower visitors with A. saligna. Floral symmetry and shape similarity were the most important categorical traits in driving flower visitor overlap. Findings suggest an important link between categorical floral traits and ability to predict invasive plant impact on native flower-insect interactions; however, more comprehensive studies are required for conclusive results.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: My Meestersgraad se navorsing kombineer aspekte van bestuiwingsbiologie en indringerbiologie om ondersoek in te stel na die indringing-voorspelbaarheid en die impak van Australiese Akasias, 'n wêreldwye indringende groep van plante. Ek het spesifiek gekyk na die rol van voortplantingsbiologie in hul indringing sukses (Hoofstuk 2), die impak van 'n spesifieke spesie, Acacia saligna, op die inheemse plant-bestuiwer gemeenskappe in Suid-Afrika (Hoofstuk 3), en of die impak van Acacia saligna op inheemse plantspesies voorspel kan word, gebaseer is op die ooreenkomste in blomeienskappe (Hoofstuk 4). Australiese Akasias het baie voortplantingseienskappe wat geassisioeer word met plantindringing sukses, insluitend ‘n uitgebreide, digte blommedrag, uitermatige hoë saadproduksie, langlewende saadbank, en die geneigdheid vir vegetatiewe voortplanting. In hoofstuk 2 van my tesis, ondersoek ek en my medeskrywers of sulke voortplantingseienskappe beïnvloed of 'n spesie ‘n indringer raak, deur 'n ontleding van die literatuur en data wat versamel is uit gepubliseerde en ongepubliseerde data. Ons het gevind dat indringerspesies geslagsrypheid vroeër bereik en meer algemeen in staat is om weer uit te loop. Ons bevindinge het belangrike implikasies vir die bestuur van die bestaande Akasiastande sowel as die evaluering en die voorkoming van verdere vestiging van Akasia spesies wat lei tot indringers. Impakte van uitheemse plantspesies op inheemse plant-besoeke deur bestuiwers, en gevolglike voortplanting is dikwels negatief en het belangrike implikasies vir die toekomstige ekosisteem gesondheid. Acacia saligna is 'n problematiese houtagtige indringende struik in baie Mediterreense streke, en in Suid-Afrika. Dit dring in die Fynbos in, wat spog met een van die wêreld se hoogste plant diversiteit per oppervlak, sowel as baie gespesialiseerde bestuiwing-mutualismes. Dit blom gedurende die bloeiseisoen van die meeste inheemse spesies en vorm digte, pronkerige blomuitstallings, dus is die moontlikheid hoog vir bestuiwer-gemedieerde interaksies met inheemse spesies wat saam blom. In Hoofstuk 3, het ek die impak van Acacia saligna, op insek besoeke aan saamblommende inheemse spesies bepaal, deur waarnemings op beide ingedringde en natuurlike studie gebiede. Een van die inheemse spesies, Roepera fulva, wat die meeste besoek is deur inheemse heuningbye, het 'n hoë blom besoeker oorvleueling met Acacia saligna en het aansienlik minder besoeke van alle insekte en van bye gekry toe Acacia saligna teenwoordig was as by die natuurlike studie gebied. Die inheemse heuningby, Apis mellifera subsp. capensis, blyk die mees belangrikste besoeker aan Acacia saligna te wees aangesien dit die mees gereeldste en beweeglikste was. As gevolg van sy oorheersing in bestuiwer gemeenskappe, is die by 'n belangrike faktor van die negatiewe uitwerking van Acacia saligna op die inheemse plante wat dieselfde tyd blom, veral dié wat gereeld besoek word deur heuningbye. Die gebruik van blomeienskappe as voorspellers van 'n spesie se effek op saamblommende plante deur middel van bestuiwing, word algemeen gebruik in bestuiwingsbiologie. In die vierde hoofstuk van my tesis, het ek die voorspellende beginsel van die blomeienskappe op blombesoeking toegepas, om te sien of blomeienskappe die impak van 'n uitheemse plantspesie kan voorspel op saamblommende inheemse spesies, en indien wel, watter blomeienskappe die belangrikste is. Deur dieselfde blom waarneming protokol as in Hoofstuk 3 te gebruik, het ek twee maatstawwe van indringings impakte op inheemse blomme vergelyk - verandering in besoek gereeldheid aan inheemse plante tussen ingedringde en natuurlike studie gebiede en blom besoeker oorvleueling tussen die Acacia saligna en inheemse spesies – en die toets vir 'n korrelasie van blomeienskap ooreenkomste in inheemse spesies en Acacia saligna. Soortgelykheid van kategoriese eienskappe en al die eienskappe gekombineer (kategoriese en deurlopende) is beduidend positief gekorreleerd met blombesoeker oorvleueling, wat aandui dat inheemse spesies met kategoriese eienskappe soortgelyk aan Acacia saligna meer geneig was om blom besoekers te deel met Acacia saligna. Blom simmetrie en vorm ooreenkoms was die belangrikste kategoriese eienskappe wat ly tot blombesoeker oorvleueling. Bevindinge dui op 'n belangrike skakel tussen die die kategoriese blomeienskappe en die vermoë om indringerplant impakte op inheemse blom-insek interaksies te voorspel, alhoewel, meer omvattende studies nog nodig is.

Abstract:

The common reed, Phragmites australis, is a plant species quite similar to the currently used bio-based aggregates and available on most continents. The purpose of this work is to characterise this common reed and compare its properties to other plants already studied for building use. This study presents the different properties focussing on Phragmites australis chemical composition, hydrophobicity nature and how this character could be explained. To that end, wettability and also water adsorption measurements were carried out on plant flour and aggregates in comparison to miscanthus, wood and hemp shiv properties. Formulations based on reeds of different origins and using different binders (lime and earth) were tested in compression and with thermal conductivity measurements in order to evaluate the behaviour of the reed as a material for building use.

Abstract:

In the current century the extreme or ‘ultra’ position on the university campus has been to argue for its dissolution or abolition. University leaders and campus planners in Australia have mostly been unmoved by that position and ploughed on with expansive capital works campaigns and ambitious reformulations of existing campuses. The pandemic, however, provided ideal conditions for an unplanned but thoroughgoing experiment in operating universities without the need for a campus. Consequently, the extreme prospect of universities after the era of the modern campus now seems more likely than ever. In this paper we raise the question of the dematerialised or fully digital campus, by drawing attention to the traditional dependence of universities on material and architectural identities. We ask, what is the nature of that dependence? And consider how the current uncertainties about the status of buildings and grounds for tertiary education are driving new campus models. Using material monikers to categorise groups of universities is something of a commonplace. There is the American Ivy League, which refers to the ritualised planting of ivy at elite colleges in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The English have long referred to their “red brick” universities and to a later generation as the “plate glass” universities. In Australia, the older universities developed in the colonial era came to be known as the “sandstones” to distinguish them from the large group of new universities developed in the postwar decades. While some of the latter possess what are commonly called bush campuses. If nothing else, this tendency to categorise places of higher learning by planting and building materials indicates that the identity of institutions is bound up with their materiality. The paper is in two parts. It first sketches out the material history of the Australian university in the twentieth century, before examining an exemplary recent project that reflects some of the architectural and material uncertainties of the present moment in campus development. This prompts a series of reflections on the problem of institutional trust and brand value in a possible future without buildings.

Abstract:

Abstract. High density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes (approximately 8 hectares each) are employed as floating covers at the wastewater treatment plant of Melbourne Water in Werribee, Australia. The anaerobic lagoons at the plant rely on these HDPE geomembrane floating covers to capture both the biogas and odours. Given the nature of the plant and the harsh environmental conditions, a non-contact inspection method that can cover a vast expanse is the preferred approach for the structural health monitoring and assessment of the cover. This paper presents an exploratory investigation on the use of a quasi-active thermography technique to detect the presence of artificially induced part-through defects on a HDPE geomembrane specimen. The proposed method utilises a naturally occurring heat source (solar radiation) as the thermal stimulus. An infrared thermal camera and a pyranometer were used to record the thermal responses of the HDPE material as a result of solar intensity variation. The viability of using periodic cloud cover transients to drive this inspection technique is reported. In addition, an image processing algorithm is formulated based on the relative summation of the transient events to enhance the identification of the defects. The findings show that the observed thermal transients can be used to define the presence of defects both when the underside of the material is in contact with water or with air, and thereby provides a promising approach for the structural health monitoring of these high-value assets.

Abstract:

CSIRO is constructing a solar thermal driven high temperature supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) Brayton cycle test facility, which includes an absorber tube based solar receiver, at the CSIRO National Solar Energy Centre in Newcastle, Australia. The sCO2 facility is capable of producing high temperature CO2 at 700° Celsius. In this paper the mechanical challenges of designing a sCO2 solar receiver are presented. The design is an optimization of the impact of having a high thermal gradient through the absorber tube wall as a result of high heat transfer and the effect of containing sCO2 under high pressure inside the absorber tube. The first drives the design toward needing a thin tube wall to reduce the thermal gradient stress, whereas the high pressure drives the absorber tube toward needing a thick wall. It is worth noting that the thermal stress being considered here are those within the tube wall thickness only and not about the effects of thermal expansion along the length. The contradictory nature of these two drivers resulted in an iterative approach to choosing the receiver’s optimal absorber tube size with nine options investigated and compared for optimal mutual design conditions for pipe wall stresses cause by internal pressure and thermal gradient. This led to choosing the smallest available pipe size of 3/8 inch considering the available high heat resistant and high strength materials and conventional construction techniques for seamless pipe. Going to smaller diameters would require eliminating pipe sizes from the selection and restricting the availability to standard tube sizes, and also eliminating the high heat resistant and high strength materials from the selection. The other factor in the design decision was to consider the constructability of an absorber tube based receiver that will allow conventional pipe fit up and welding techniques. Ultimately, the sCO2 operating conditions still produced pipe wall stress high enough to limit the life of the solar receiver in the order of 1,000 hours due to high temperature material creep. This outcome is suitable for short lived experimental work but may not be suitable for commercial long lived projects. Building a commercially viable sCO2 solar receiver would require the selection of costly very high strength and creep resistant materials, or a receiver design that allows economic replacement of parts during the plant life, or the development of alternative receiver designs and construction techniques.

Abstract:

Management of invasive phragmites (Phragmites australis [Cav.] Trin. Ex Steud.) in the United States has proven challenging over the last several decades. Various methods for control exist, but integrated approaches appear to have the most success. However, documentation of vegetation community–wide responses to these approaches remains limited. This study monitored plant community changes at Times Beach, New York, over a five-year period. In concert with mowing and thatch removal in all areas, the study evaluated two herbicides separately and together, representing three experimental treatment areas (TAs), for control efficacy by measuring plant community structure. Phragmites was targeted for treatments, avoiding native and nonproblematic non-native species when possible, to preserve beneficial habitat during phragmites control efforts. Monitoring results showed significant drops in phragmites relative cover, relative frequency, and importance values due to integrated management, regardless of herbicide treatment, with corresponding increases in these same values for native and other plant species. This suggests that prudent removal of phragmites is compatible with beneficial plant restorative efforts to maintain and improve habitat in infested areas.

Abstract:

The Southeast Coast Network (SECN) conducts long-term terrestrial vegetation monitoring as part of the nationwide Inventory and Monitoring Program of the National Park Service (NPS). The vegetation community vital sign is one of the primary-tier resources identified by SECN park managers, and monitoring is currently conducted at 15 network parks (DeVivo et al. 2008). Monitoring plants and their associated communities over time allows for targeted understanding of ecosystems within the SECN geography, which provides managers information about the degree of change within their parks’ natural vegetation. The first year of conducting this monitoring effort at four SECN parks, including 52 plots on Cape Hatteras National Seashore (CAHA), was 2019. Twelve vegetation plots were established at Cape Hatteras NS in July and August. Data collected in each plot included species richness across multiple spatial scales, species-specific cover and constancy, species-specific woody stem seedling/sapling counts and adult tree (greater than 10 centimeters [3.9 inches {in}]) diameter at breast height (DBH), overall tree health, landform, soil, observed disturbance, and woody biomass (i.e., fuel load) estimates. This report summarizes the baseline (year 1) terrestrial vegetation data collected at Cape Hatteras National Seashore in 2019. Data were stratified across four dominant broadly defined habitats within the park (Maritime Tidal Wetlands, Maritime Nontidal Wetlands, Maritime Open Uplands, and Maritime Upland Forests and Shrublands) and four land parcels (Bodie Island, Buxton, Hatteras Island, and Ocracoke Island). Noteworthy findings include: A total of 265 vascular plant taxa (species or lower) were observed across 52 vegetation plots, including 13 species not previously documented within the park. The most frequently encountered species in each broadly defined habitat included: Maritime Tidal Wetlands: saltmeadow cordgrass Spartina patens), swallow-wort (Pattalias palustre), and marsh fimbry (Fimbristylis castanea) Maritime Nontidal Wetlands: common wax-myrtle (Morella cerifera), saltmeadow cordgrass, eastern poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans var. radicans), and saw greenbriar (Smilax bona-nox) Maritime Open Uplands: sea oats (Uniola paniculata), dune camphorweed (Heterotheca subaxillaris), and seabeach evening-primrose (Oenothera humifusa) Maritime Upland Forests and Shrublands: : loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), southern/eastern red cedar (Juniperus silicicola + virginiana), common wax-myrtle, and live oak (Quercus virginiana). Five invasive species identified as either a Severe Threat (Rank 1) or Significant Threat (Rank 2) to native plants by the North Carolina Native Plant Society (Buchanan 2010) were found during this monitoring effort. These species (and their overall frequency of occurrence within all plots) included: alligatorweed (Alternanthera philoxeroides; 2%), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica; 10%), Japanese stilt-grass (Microstegium vimineum; 2%), European common reed (Phragmites australis; 8%), and common chickweed (Stellaria media; 2%). Eighteen rare species tracked by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (Robinson 2018) were found during this monitoring effort, including two species—cypress panicgrass (Dichanthelium caerulescens) and Gulf Coast spikerush (Eleocharis cellulosa)—listed as State Endangered by the Plant Conservation Program of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCPCP 2010). Southern/eastern red cedar was a dominant species within the tree stratum of both Maritime Nontidal Wetland and Maritime Upland Forest and Shrubland habitat types. Other dominant tree species within CAHA forests included loblolly pine, live oak, and Darlington oak (Quercus hemisphaerica). One hundred percent of the live swamp bay (Persea palustris) trees measured in these plots were experiencing declining vigor and observed with symptoms like those caused by laurel wilt......less

The Southeast Coast Network (SECN) conducts long-term terrestrial vegetation monitoring as part of the nationwide Inventory and Monitoring Program of the National Park Service (NPS). The vegetation community vital sign is one of the primary-tier resources identified by SECN park managers, and monitoring is currently conducted at 15 network parks (DeVivo et al. 2008). Monitoring plants and their associated communities over time allows for targeted understanding of ecosystems within the SECN geography, which provides managers information about the degree of change within their parks’ natural vegetation. 2019 marks the first year of conducting this monitoring effort on four SECN parks, including Fort Pulaski National Monument (FOPU). Twelve vegetation plots were established at Fort Pulaski National Monument in August. Data collected in each plot included species richness across multiple spatial scales, species-specific cover and constancy, species-specific woody stem seedling/sapling counts and adult tree (greater than 10 centimeters [3.9 inches {in}]) diameter at breast height (DBH), overall tree health, landform, soil, observed disturbance, and woody biomass (i.e., fuel load) estimates. This report summarizes the baseline (year 1) terrestrial vegetation data collected at Fort Pulaski National Monument in 2019. Data were stratified across two dominant broadly defined habitats within the park (Maritime Tidal Wetlands and Maritime Upland Forests and Shrublands). Noteworthy findings include: Sixty-six vascular plant taxa were observed across 12 vegetation plots, including six taxa not previously known from the park. Plots were located on both Cockspur and McQueen’s Island. The most frequently encountered species in each broadly defined habitat included: Maritime Tidal Wetlands: smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), perennial saltmarsh aster(Symphyotrichum enuifolium), and groundsel tree (Baccharis halimifolia) Maritime Upland Forests and Shrublands: yaupon (Ilex vomitoria), southern/eastern red cedar (Juniperus silicicola + virginiana), and cabbage palmetto (Sabal palmetto). Four non-native species identified as invasive by the Georgia Exotic Pest Plant Council (GA-EPPC 2018) were found during this monitoring effort. These species (and their overall frequency of occurrence within all plots) included: Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica; 17%), bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum; 8%), Vasey’s grass (Paspalum urvillei; 8%), and European common reed (Phragmites australis; 8%). Two rare plants tracked by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR 2013) were found during this monitoring effort. These include Florida wild privet (Forestiera segregata) and Bosc’s bluet (Oldenlandia boscii). Southern/eastern red cedar and cabbage palmetto were the most dominant species within the tree stratum of the maritime Upland Forest and Shrubland habitat type. Species that dominated the sapling and seedling strata of this type included yaupon, cabbage palmetto, groundsel tree, and Carolina laurel cherry (Prunus caroliniana). The health status of sugarberry (Celtis laevigata)—a typical canopy species in maritime forests of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain--observed on park plots appeared to be in decline, with most stems experiencing elevated levels of dieback and low vigor. Over the past decade, this species has been experiencing unexplained high rates of dieback and mortality throughout its range in the Southeastern United States; current research is focusing on what may be causing these alarming die-off patterns. Duff and litter made up the majority of downed woody biomass (fuel loads) across FOPU vegetation plots.
