Abstract:
Remnant habitat patches in agricultural landscapes can contribute substantially to wildlife conservation. Understanding the main habitat variables that influence wildlife is important if these remnants are to be appropriately managed. We investigated relationships between the bird assemblages and characteristics of remnant riparian forest at 27 sites among sugarcane fields in the Queensland Wet Tropics bioregion. Sites within the remnant riparian zone had distinctly different bird assemblages from those of the forest, but provided habitat for many forest and generalist species. Width of the riparian vegetation and distance from source forest were the most important factors in explaining the bird assemblages in these remnant ribbons of vegetation. Gradual changes in assemblage composition occurred with increasing distance from source forest, with species of rainforest and dense vegetation being replaced by species of more open habitats, although increasing distance was confounded by decreasing riparian width. Species richness increased with width of the riparian zone, with high richness at the wide sites due to a mixture of open-habitat species typical of narrower sites and rainforest species typical of sites within intact forest, as a result of the greater similarity in vegetation characteristics between wide sites and the forest proper. The results demonstrate the habitat value for birds of remnant riparian vegetation in an agricultural landscape, supporting edge and open vegetation species with even narrow widths, but requiring substantial width (>90 m) to support specialists of the closed forest, the dominant original vegetation of the area.

Abstract:
Birds in roadside and remnant patches of vegetation in the Marburg district of south-eastern Queensland were studied from November 1989 to February 1990. Effects of the length, width and height of the tree, shrub and herb layers, and their major components, on the bird community were determined. In all, 43 species of birds were observed in roadside vegetation; 16 of these were abundant and widely distributed. Silvereyes were most frequently observed (240 observations), followed by superb fairy-wrens (59), yellow thornbills (53), double-barred finches (26), red-backed fairy-wrens (25) and Lewin's honeyeaters (20). Apart from silvereyes (20-654 of observations), and superb fairy-wrens on two roads (12 and 13%) and yellow thornbills on one (15%), no other species constituted more than 10% of observations on any road. In all, 48 species of birds were observed in remnant patches of vegetation, 14 in all of them. Rates of detection in remnant patches ranged from 2.7 to 5.3 birds per 5 min compared with a mean maximum rate for roadside vegetation of 1.3. The richness of the roadside avifauna increased significantly (P=0.001) as the volume (length x width x height) of the tree component, especially the softwood species, increased. The diversity of tree species in softwood remnants and the greater canopy density appear to be important factors that enhance the bird community. The number of birds was also correlated (P=0.05) with the volume of brigalow, Acacia harpophylla. The correlation of the volume of woody weeddshrubs with the number of birds was low (P=0.05), and with the number of species not significant, even though woody weeds were a major component of roadside vegetation. Although supporting fewer birds than remnant patches of vegetation, roadside vegetation contributes importantly to conservation of the avifauna in the Marburg district. Some simple management practices, such as maintaining a minimum width of undisturbed vegetation and retaining vegetation diversity, would ensure or enhance the long-term conservation benefits. Opportunities to regenerate softwood remnants could also be taken, particularly to enhance the value, and possibly prolong the life, of the associated remnants of brigalow.

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigated the effects of habitat clearance and fragmentation on birds of coastal heathlands in subtropical eastern Australia. Abundance and species composition were compared among two types of cleared habitat (residential suburbs and sugar cane cropland) and four sizes of heathland remnant (1–2 ha, 5–10 ha, 20–50 ha and >500 ha) in summer and winter. Cleared land contained a distinctly different bird species assemblage from heathland remnants. Residential sites contained a distinct suite of species consistent with that described for ‘open/developed land’ habitat elsewhere in the region. In contrast, cane cropland supported very few species. Heathland remnants >500 ha contained high densities of ‘natural-vegetation-dependent’ species, whereas species of open/developed land were absent. Remnants of 1–2 ha had lowered densities of many natural-vegetation-dependent species, and a relatively high abundance of open/developed land species. Some of the avifaunal differences in the >500-ha remnants and 5–50-ha range are probably due to confounding of remnant size with habitat, resulting from selective clearing of the landscape. Most of the heathland birds were intolerant of the matrix habitat (residential and cane cropland), but tolerant of decreased remnant area, down to a threshold of about 5 ha. However, the distinctive floristic associations of heathland vegetation are dependent on an environmental regime (low nutrient, low pH, fire, in some cases inundation) that is unlikely to persist in remnants tens of hectares in size, and longer-term declines in heathland birds, are predicted.

Abstract:
The numbers of species, and the frequency of occurrence of individual species, in patches of Gimlet Eucalyptus salubris woodland in remnants of native vegetation in the central wheatbelt of Western Australia were recorded over a year. These values were examined in relation to the structural characteristics of the patches and the biogeographic attributes of the remnants (i.e., size and various indices of isolation from other native vegetation). There were five patches in large remnants (>100 ha) and 24 patches in small remnants (0.5?27.0 ha). Most of the small remnants were grazed by livestock and had lost much or all of the shrub understorey. The Galah Cacatua roseicapilla and Port Lincoln Ringnecked Parrot Platycercus zonarius were found in all patches, but the remaining large species of birds (Australian Raven Corvus coronoides,Pied Butcherbird Cracticus nigroregularis, Crested Pigeon Ocyphaps lophotes, and Yellow-throated Miner Manorina flavigula) were found more frequently in patches in small remnants. Conversely, with the exception of the Striated Pardalote Pardalotus striatus, small passerine species were found less frequently in patches in small remnants. Remnant size was significantly negatively correlated with frequency of occurrence of six of the eight common large species, indicating that these species concentrated in patches in small remnants, and significantly positively correlated with frequency of occurrence of two of four small passerine species. Having taken out the effect of remnant area, a stepwise regression procedure was used to see whether other biogeographic attributes of the remnants or habitat structure in the patches influenced the frequency of occurrence of individual species and species richness. As area of native vegetation within a 5 km radius increased so did the frequency of occurrence of the Galah and Port Lincoln Parrot, indicating that local numbers of the species affects their presence. Of the large birds only the Yellowthroated Miner was influenced by patch structural attributes whereas all species of small passerines showed responses to various structural attributes of the patches. Frequency of occurrence of the Striated Pardalote and the number of species of small passerines in a patch decreased with increasing distance to the nearest native vegatation. Overall frequency of occurence of small passerines increased with the number of linear strips of native vegetation linked to a remnant. In this study a majority of the small remnants were too small to support resident birds. The Gimlet patches, if used, would be part of a home range. Loss of the shrub understorey through grazing and loss of canopy cover through tree deaths had a significant impact on numbers of species of small passerines using the Gimlet patches. The conservation value of the patches in small remnants would be enhanced by increasing remnant size and by the linking of remnants to nearby native vegetation.

Abstract:
Selection of sites for wetland restoration requires analysis of probable success at recreating diverse natural vegetation. We studied the seed banks and the remnant vegetation at restoration sites to determine their degree of similarity to the vegetation that developed following restoration of wetland hydrology. The study sites had been used for forage crops and pasture following long-term drainage. The seed bank was a very poor predictor of plant species abundances following restoration. Similarity between remnant vegetation and restored vegetation was consistently higher than similarity values using seed banks at both restored and natural wetlands. Our results suggest that seed-bank analysis is an inefficient technique for predicting restored vegetation in sites with prolonged disturbance, and that analysis of remnant vegetation on the sites is probably more useful. However, results would probably differ at sites with tile drainage that have limited remnant vegetation or created wetlands with bare soil where seed germination would play a greater role in revegetation. In addition, seed-bank studies are important to determine if aggressive invasive species are present at potential restoration sites.Key words: seed banks, wetlands, restoration, marshes, vegetation.

"The importance of travelling stock reserves for maintaining high-quality threatened temperate woodlands." Australian Journal of Botany 65, no. 7 (2017): 507. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/bt17114.

Full text
Abstract:
Travelling stock reserves (TSRs) are thought to represent some of the highest-quality and least degraded remnants of threatened temperate woodland in south-eastern Australia. These public reserves have not had the same high levels of grazing pressure and other disturbances as woodland remnants on private land. Thus, TSRs are expected to be important for the protection of biodiversity in heavily cleared and modified landscapes. We tested the hypothesis that land tenure had significant effects on the quality of woodlands by comparing vegetation structural attributes between TSRs and remnant vegetation used for primary production purposes. Vegetation attributes were monitored in 155 permanent plots over 5 years in remnant temperate woodland sites in the Riverina bioregion of New South Wales. Overall, TSRs supported higher native plant species richness and were characterised by higher ground cover of native shrubs and less cover of exotic plant species than agricultural production areas. We found land tenure had significant effects on some vegetation attributes demonstrated to be important for threatened fauna. We attribute these results to TSRs having a history of lower grazing pressure compared with remnants managed for agricultural production. Our study provides empirical evidence to support the high conservation value of TSRs in formerly woodland-dominated, but now extensively cleared agricultural landscapes.

Full text
Abstract:
Urban remnant vegetation, especially where it occurs in public parks, allows for relatively easy access for ongoing biodiversity monitoring. However, relatively little baseline information on bird species distribution and abundance across a range of identifiable urban remnants appears in the published literature. We surveyed the relative abundance and distribution of birds across urban and suburban remnant vegetation in Melbourne, Australia. One hundred and six species were recorded, of which 98 were indigenous. Red wattlebirds had the highest mean relative abundance with 2.94 birds/ ha, followed by rainbow lorikeets (2.51), noisy miners (1.93), brown thornbills (1.75) and spotted doves (0.96). There was no obvious trend between overall relative abundance and the size of the remnant, in contrast to species richness which was positively correlated with remnant size. The data revealed that some species were either totally restricted to, or more abundant in, larger remnants and generally absent from smaller remnants. Some of the more common birds (crimson rosella, superb fairy-wren, spotted pardalote and black-faced cuckoo-shrike) recorded during this study were detected at similar densities to those found in comparable vegetation to the east of Melbourne within a largely forested landscape. Other species occurred at much lower densities (e.g., white-browed scrubwren, brown thornbill, eastern yellow robin and grey fantail) or had habitat requirements or ecological characteristics that could place them at risk of further decline or local extinction in the urban area. We identify a suite of bird species of potential conservation concern within Melbourne’s urban landscape. The establishment of repeatable, fixed-point, and long-term monitoring sites will allow for repeat surveying over time and provide an early warning of population declines, or conversely an indication of population increase for other species.

Full text
Abstract:
Extensive loss and degradation of native vegetation in the agricultural landscape of inland south-eastern Australia has resulted in significant losses in bird diversity and abundance. Native vegetation continues to be lost through the attrition of paddock trees, which constitute a large component of the remaining vegetation. The planting of native trees and shrubs is being undertaken as a means of halting the loss of biodiversity. However, the effectiveness of revegetation activities is still being assessed. A study in the Wagga Wagga area of New South Wales was undertaken to examine the relative value of remnant vegetation, farm plantings, paddock trees, and pasture for bird diversity. Species richness was highest in remnant vegetation, and was similar in planted vegetation and paddock trees. Relative abundance was similar across these three vegetation types. Species composition differed among all vegetation types, with planted and paddock tree sites having predominantly different sub-sets of the bird assemblage characteristic of remnant vegetation. The protection of remnant vegetation is essential for the conservation of the region’s avifauna, but plantings and paddock trees also have important values for birds. However, plantings and paddock trees support different bird assemblages and complement each other. While important in their own right, the current plantings of native vegetation should not be considered as off-setting the continued loss of paddock trees. Retention of the avifauna of the Wagga Wagga area would be assisted if remnant vegetation and paddock trees were protected and integrated with appropriately designed revegetation.

Full text
Abstract:
The decline of remnant native vegetation in Australia is a national concern, with mounting community pressure on private landholders to actively manage and conserve the remaining vegetation on their properties. One of the major concerns of landholders in retaining and managing remnant vegetation in the agricultural landscape is the lack of information and understanding about the costs and benefits potentially associated with remnant vegetation, and how these values are linked to ecological functions. This paper focuses on the impacts of remnant vegetation on pasture productivity. Knowledge of the economic impacts of remnant vegetation on pasture productivity and associated agricultural output is currently limited, while the ecological relationships are better known but may vary with species and environment. Based on a study area near Gunnedah in northern New South Wales where farm survey data and GIS information were available, a model that incorporates agricultural and biophysical attributes to explain pasture productivity was developed. The results indicate that the value of pasture output per farm may be increased by having a certain proportion of pasture area under dry sclerophyll or woodland vegetation. Gross value of pasture output was at its highest level when the proportion of tree area across the farm was at 34%, with no further increases in output being achieved beyond this point. These results suggest that the competitive influences of trees present in the pasture system may begin to outweigh the stimulatory effects when this proportion of tree area is exceeded.

Abstract:
Linear strips of vegetation set within a less-hospitable matrix are common features of landscapes throughout the world. Depending on location, form and function, these linear landscape elements include hedgerows, fencerows, shelterbelts, roadside or streamside strips and wildlife corridors. In many anthropogenically-modified landscapes, linear strips are important components for conservation because they provide a large proportion of the remaining wooded or shrubby habitat for fauna. They may also function to provide connectivity across the landscape. In some districts, the linear strips form an interconnected network of habitat. The spatial configuration of remnant habitat (size, shape and arrangement) may influence habitat suitability, and hence survival, of many species of plant and animal in modified landscapes. Near Euroa in south-eastern Australia, the clearing and fragmentation of temperate woodlands for agriculture has been extensive and, at present, less than 5% tree cover remains, most of which (83%) occurs as linear strips along roads and streams. The remainder of the woodland occurs as relatively small patches and single isolated trees scattered across the landscape. As an assemblage, arboreal marsupials are woodland dependent and vary in their sensitivity to habitat loss and fragmentation. This thesis focusses on determining the conservation status of arboreal marsupials in the linear network and understanding how they utilise the landscape mosaic. Specifically, the topics examined in this thesis are: (1) the composition of the arboreal marsupial assemblage in linear and non-linear woodland remnants; (2) the status and habitat preferences of species of arboreal marsupial within linear remnants; and (3) the ecology of a population of the Squirrel Glider Petaurus norfolcensis in the linear network, focusing on population dynamics, spatial organisation, and use of den trees. The arboreal marsupial fauna in the linear network was diverse, and comprised seven out of eight species known to occur in the district. The species detected within the strips were P. norfolcensis, the Sugar Glider Petaurus breviceps, Common Brushtail Possum Trichosums vulpecula, Common Ringtail Possum Pseudocheirus peregrinus, Brush-tailed Phascogale Phascogale tapoatafa, Koala Phascolarctos cinereus and Yellow-footed Antechinus Antechinus flavipes. The species not detected was the Feathertail Glider Acrabates pygmaeus. Survey sites in linear remnants (strips of woodland along roads and streams) supported a similar richness and density of arboreal mammals to sites in non-linear remnants (large patches or continuous tracts of woodland nearby). Furthermore, the combined abundance of all species of arboreal marsupials was significantly greater in sites in the linear remnants than in the non-linear remnants. This initial phase of the study provided no evidence that linear woodland remnants support a degraded or impoverished arboreal marsupial fauna in comparison with the nonlinear remnants surveyed. Intensive trapping of arboreal marsupials within a 15 km linear network between February 1997 and June 1998 showed that all species of arboreal marsupial (except A. pygmaeus) were present within the linear strips. Further analyses related trap-based abundance estimates to measures of habitat quality and landscape structure. Width of the linear habitat was significantly positively correlated with the combined abundance of all arboreal marsupials, as well as with the abundance of P. norfolcensis and T. vulpecula. The abundance of T. vulpecula was also significantly positively correlated with variation in overstorey species composition, Acacia density and the number of hollow-bearing trees. The abundance of P. norfolcensis was positively correlated with Acacia density and canopy width, and negatively correlated with distance to the nearest intersection with another linear remnant. No significant variables were identified to explain the abundance of P. tapoatafa, and there were insufficient captures of the remaining species to investigate habitat preferences. Petaurus norfolcensis were resident within the linear network and their density (0.95 -1.54 ha-1) was equal to the maximum densities recorded for this species in continuous forest elsewhere in south-eastern Australia. Rates of reproduction were also similar to those in continuous forest, with births occurring between May and December, a mean natality rate of 1.9, and a mean litter size of 1.7. Sex ratios never differed significantly from parity. Overall, the population dynamics of P. norfolcensis were comparable with published results for the species in contiguous forest, clearly suggesting that the linear remnants currently support a self-sustaining, viable population. Fifty-one P. norfolcensis were fitted with radio transmitters and tracked intermittently between December 1997 and November 1998. Home ranges were small (1.3 - 2.8 ha), narrow (20 - 40 m) and elongated (322 - 839 m). Home ranges were mostly confined to the linear remnants, although 80% of gliders also utilised small clumps of adjacent woodland within farm paddocks for foraging or denning. Home range size was significantly larger at intersections between two or more linear remnants than within straight sections of linear remnants. Intersections appeared to be important sites for social interaction because the overlap of home ranges of members of adjacent social groups was significantly greater at intersections than straight sections. Intersections provided the only opportunity for members of three or more social groups to interact, while still maintaining their territories. The 51 gliders were radiotracked to 143 different hollow-bearing trees on 2081 occasions. On average, gliders used 5.3 den trees during the study (range 1-15), and changed den trees every 4.9 days. The number of den trees used by each glider is likely to be conservative because the cumulative number of den trees continued to increase over the full duration of the study. When gliders shifted between den trees, the mean distance between consecutive den sites was 247 m. Den trees were located throughout a glider's home range, thereby reducing the need to return to a central den site and potentially minimising energy expenditure. Dens were usually located in large trees (mean diameter 88.5 cm) and were selected significantly more often than expected based on their occurrence within the landscape. The overall conclusion of this thesis is that the linear network I studied provides high quality habitat for resident populations of arboreal marsupials. Important factors influencing the suitability of the linear remnants appear to be the high level of network connectivity, the location on soils of high nutrient status, the high density of large trees and an acacia understorey. In highly fragmented landscapes, linear habitats as part of the remaining woodland mosaic have the potential to be an integral component in the conservation of woodland-dependent fauna. The habitat value of linear strips of vegetation should not be underestimated.

Abstract:
Prairie restorations in east-central Indiana are commonly accomplished through purposeful planting of prairie vegetation, with the belief that prairie fauna will populate the planting independently at a later time. The objective of this study was to determine whether one assemblage, the ground dwelling beetles, would in fact re-populate tallgrass prairie restorations in a region where tallgrass prairie remnants are rare and highly fragmented. Two prairie remnants and five prairie plantings were sampled using pitfall traps from 21 May to 4 October 2003. Nine hundred forty-three beetles were collected, identified to family, and separated into morphospecies. Shannon diversity was greatest in the CR 575 E Cemetery prairie remnant, and increased linearly with increasing age in the created prairies, with the exception of the 1-year old prairie. TWINSPAN analysis grouped the two remnant prairies together in the first division, indicating that beetle assemblages of remnant prairies are more similar to each other than to created prairies.

Abstract:
What Are Fossil Fuels? Buried deep in the earth are the remnants of earlier life forms—hundreds of millennia of rotting vegetation, decaying animals, and marine plankton. Today this “organic material” (so-called because it was once alive) has turned into rock that is laden with carbon,...

Abstract:
Rainbow Beach is a small town on the coastal dunes of eastern Australia, near Brisbane. I had travelled there to meet with some colleagues to sample soils from the vast coastal sand dunes that surround the area. It might seem an unusual place to visit to collect soil, but a unique sequence of soils has formed in the sand dunes, which differ greatly in age. As you move inland from the sea, the soils get progressively older and deeper, and more weathered and nutrient-poor. The youngest soils are shallow, having only just started to form in recent sand dunes, whereas the oldest soils are around half a million years old and can reach 25 metres deep. These are among the oldest, deepest, and most weathered soils that I have sampled, and what I recall most vividly is how stunted and sparse the vegetation was that grew there, reflecting their struggle to grow in such ancient, weathered soil. The soils of Rainbow Beach are by no means the oldest on Earth. Hidden beneath ice sheets in Greenland, scientists recently discovered a soil that was 2.7 million years old, a remnant of the fertile tundra that covered the area before the ice sheets came. And scientists working in South Africa recently discovered a soil, now compacted in rock, that is 3 billion years old. One of the most fascinating things about soil is that it is incredibly diverse; soils vary enormously across continents, countries, and from valley to valley and field to field. Even within a small patch of land, such as a field, forest, or vegetable garden, the underlying soil can vary considerably. Over distances of metres, it might differ in its texture and depth, and in its pH, being acid in one patch of a field and neutral in another. Soils also vary greatly in the diversity of living organisms that live within them. I will go into more detail about the diversity of soil life later in this book; but for now suffice to say that it is vast. Soils also change with time.
