Abstract:
An autumn fuel-reduction burn of low intensity (200-250 kW m-1) was performed in a Eucalyptus obliqua forest near Gembrook, Victoria. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a single burn on floristics, biomass, N content and N2 fixation. The fire burnt 50% of the area in a mosaic pattern, significantly reducing understorey vegetation cover (by 90%) and plant density (by 70%) in burnt areas immediately after the fire. Understorey cover was restored to 40% of the original value 1 year later, but 33% of the understorey species were still absent from burnt areas. In the whole site mosaic, biomass declined by 30 t ha-1 (3 kg m-2) (10%) and N content by 100 kg ha-1 (10 g m-2) (18% excluding soil N, 2% including soil N). These losses were due to significant losses of biomass and N from the understorey only (88%, 85%), standing dead trees (57%, 62%), fallen wood (73%, 60%) and litter (69%, 70%). One year later, there was no significant increase in either biomass or N content. Burnt areas had five times the total nitrogenase activity of unburnt areas, owing to significantly greater specific nitrogenase (C2H2 reduction) activity, three times the nodule weight and 20 times the plant density of unburnt areas for the dominant legume (Pultenaea scabra). Using a calibration ratio for C2H2:N2 of 2.68 :1 derived from glasshouse growth studies, N2 fixation for P. scabra was estimated as 15 g ha-1 year-1 in burnt areas and 3 g ha-1 year-1 in unburnt areas, with a mean of 9 g ha-1 year-' for the whole site mosaic. Adding superphosphate to burnt areas increased estimated N2 fixation significantly by 14%, mainly by increasing nodulation. Losses of N due to the burn (100 kg ha-1) were considerably greater than gains from increases in N2 fixation (6 g ha-1 year-1) one year after the burn. Even allowing for N2 fixation by other, infrequent legumes and greater N2 fixation in subsequent years, these data suggest that the N lost in the burn is more likely to be replaced by inputs from soil reserves and rainwater than from N2 fixation by legumes.

Abstract:
Acrobates pygmaeus was captured in nestboxes in three areas of central and southern Victoria: the Gembrook-Cockatoo area and Nar Nar Goon North east of Melbourne, and Daylesford north-west of Melbourne. Breeding was strictly seasonal and females produced two litters between July and February each year. Males also showed seasonal fluctuation in testes sizes. Mean litter size was 3.5 at birth and 2.5 at weaning. Pouch life lasted 65 days and young were weaned at approximately 100 days of age. Growth was slow and maternal investment in each young was high, and continued after weaning. Most individuals matured in the season following their birth, but some males did not mature until the second season after their birth. Maximum field longevity was at least three years. Comparisons are made with other small diprotodont marsupials.

Abstract:
McArthur's Fire Danger Indices were developed originally as empirical models to describe fire danger in dry sclerophyll forest and grasslands of Australia. These indices are now used widely in southeastern Australia for fire danger rating and as a guideline for the issue of fire weather warnings. Nine years of historical fire reports, fire danger indices and meteorological information have been analysed objectively to develop a model to predict days of high fire activity in the mallee shrubland of northwestern Victoria. Tested on two years of independent data it was found that the use of a simple model utilising standard meteorological observations rather than the McArthur Forest Fire Danger Index reduced the false alarm rate from 98.4% to 96.7%. Although apparently a small reduction in false alarm rate, over a two year period days of high fire activity predicted incorrectly were reduced dramatically by 345 days.

Abstract:
Natural forests have many ecological, economic and other values, and sustaining them is a challenge for policy makers and forest managers. Conventional approaches to forest management such as those based on maximum sustained yield principles disregard fundamental tenets of ecological sustainability and often fail. Here we describe the failure of a highly regulated approach to forest management focused on intensive wood production in the mountain ash forests of Victoria, Australia. Poor past management led to overcutting with timber yields too high to be sustainable and failing to account for uncertainties. Ongoing logging will have negative impacts on biodiversity and water production, alter fire regimes, and generate economic losses. This means there are few options to diversify forest management. The only ecologically and economically viable option is to cease logging mountain ash forests altogether and transition wood production to plantations located elsewhere in the state of Victoria. We outline general lessons for diversifying land management from our case study.

Abstract:
The pool of carbon in the world's forests is of similar magnitude to that in the atmosphere, yet little attention has been given to improving measures of carbon in terrestrial biomass. Much of the critical data for forest biomass on which models of global carbon cycling rely is, in fact, based on the accurate sampling of less than 100 ha of forest. Uncertainties in biomass estimation at the local and regional level may be responsible for much of the current speculation as to unidentified sinks for carbon. We have used a forest inventory (i.e. records of forest volume obtained for harvesting purposes) approach to quantify the biomass of forests in Victoria, Australia. Forests were analysed by type, age and region. Regression equations were developed for the accumulation of biomass with age across all productivity classes for each forest type. The mean carbon density for above-ground components of Victorian native forests is 157 tonnes ha-1 (t ha-1), although forest types range in mean carbon density from 250 to 18 t ha-1. Pinus radiata D. Don plantations in Victoria have a mean carbon density of 91 t ha-1 in the above-ground components. Total carbon stored in above-ground biomass is estimated to be 1.2 X 109 t. Rates of carbon fixation vary with forest age, species and site. Mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell.) forests fix around 9 t of carbon ha-1 annually during the first few years of growth, decreasing to 6 t ha-1 by age 10. Rates of carbon accumulation by other forests are generally less than this and, at the lower end of the range, box-ironbark forests, mallee and woodlands accumulate between 0.5 and 2 t ha-1 year-1. P. radiata plantations in Victoria will accumulate around 7 t carbon ha-1 year-1.

Full text
Abstract:
A population of Rattus fuscipes, in Sherbrooke Forest, Victoria, had a well defined breeding season. Mating occurred between November and January and the young were born between December and February. Juveniles were first captured in late February at approximately 1.5 months of age. The subadult age class displaced the parental age class in the population by the following August, so that almost all animals breeding in a season belonged to a single age class. The degree of home range overlap changed seasonally and could be related to changes in the proportion of amicable and agonistic behaviour judged from a series of contrived laboratory encounters. Diet consisted of both plant and insect material and changes in the proportion of these two components correlated with changes in survival. Measurements of 15 physiological parameters and organ weights, drawn at montly intervals indicated three periods during the life cycle when R. fuscipes exhibited heightened adreno-cortical activity. It is suggested that the development of territoriality in subadults during late autumn and possibly the decrease in abundance and quality of food in early winter, largely determine the size of the breeding population in late spring.

Abstract:
Habitat use, diet and behaviour of adult and immature crimson rosellas were compared in the non-breeding season in a wet sclerophyll forest in southern Victoria. Immature birds occurred mainly at forest edges and were more patchily distributed than adults. They also differed quantitatively in their diet, spent more time feeding and less time resting, and occurred in larger flocks than adults. It is suggested that these dietary and behavioural differences probably result from either enforced use of inferior habitats and food resources, or less efficient foraging.

Abstract:
Forest Pattern and Ecological Process is a major synthesis of 25 years of intensive research about the montane ash forests of Victoria, which support the world's tallest flowering plants and several of Australia's most high profile threatened and/or endangered species. It draws together major insights based on over 170 published scientific papers and books, offering a previously unrecognised set of perspectives of how forests function. The book combines key strands of research on wildfires, biodiversity conservation, logging, conservation management, climate change and basic forest ecology and management. It is divided into seven sections: introduction and background; forest cover and the composition of the forest; the structure of the forest; animal occurrence; disturbance regimes; forest management; and overview and future directions. Illustrated with more than 200 photographs and line drawings, Forest Pattern and Ecological Process is an essential reference for forest researchers, resource managers, conservation and wildlife biologists, ornithologists and mammalogists, policy makers, as well as general readers with interests in wildlife and forests. 2010 Whitley Certificate of Commendation for Zoological Text.

Abstract:
The conservation of Earth's forest ecosystems is one of the great environmental challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. All of Earth's ecosystems now face the spectre of the accelerated greenhouse effect and rates of change in climatic regimes that have hitherto been unknown. In addition, multiple use forestry – where forests are managed to provide for both a supply of wood and the conservation of biodiversity – can change the floristic composition and vegetation structure of forests with significant implications for wildlife habitat. Wildlife, fire and future climate: a forest ecosystem analysis explores these themes through a landscape-wide study of refugia and future climate in the tall, wet forests of the Central Highlands of Victoria. It represents a model case study for the kind of integrated investigation needed throughout the world in order to deal with the potential response of terrestrial ecological systems to global change. The analyses presented in this book represent one of the few ecosystem studies ever undertaken that has attempted such a complex synthesis of fire, wildlife, vegetation, and climate. Wildlife, fire and future climate: a forest ecosystem analysis is written by an experienced team of leading world experts in fire ecology, modelling, terrain and climate analysis, vegetation and wildlife habitat. Their collaboration on this book represents a unique and exemplary, multi-disciplinary venture.
