A framework for maximizing the benefit from retaining regrowth on private land

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation interventions often have lower‐than‐desired positive impacts, as revealed by retrospective counterfactual‐based evaluations. To address this, a prospective counterfactual‐based approach can be used to estimate potential benefits and design conservation interventions to maximize outcomes. We developed a framework for estimating the

Risks of concealing environmental degradation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Two new anamorphs of Mycosphaerella associated with foliar lesions of Eucalyptus dunnii

, 2005
Eucalyptus dunnii is a fast growing eucalypt species that has recently been propagated in plantations in southern Queensland. Mycosphaerella species and their anamorphs are commonly associated with foliar lesions in these plantations. Mycosphaerella is a

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Stimulatory effects of SO2 on growth of Eucalyptus rudis Endl

, 1990
Eucalyptus rudis Endl. saplings were exposed to either 274 μg m−3 SO2 or 132 μg m−3 SO2 for 8 h d−1, over 123 d, in open-top chambers. Exposure to 132μg m−3 SO2 increased the height of the plants and increased the average area and dry weight of leaves ...

Myrtaceae, a cache of fungal biodiversity

, 2009
Twenty-six species of microfungi are treated, the majority of which are associated with leaf spots of Corymbia, Eucalyptus and Syzygium spp. (Myrtaceae).

Wheat Straw as Base Paper for Barrier Coating

BioResources
A smooth and dense surface of the base paper is advantageous when the goal is to apply a liquid coating as a barrier layer. For such a base paper, non-wood fibers derived from wheat straw could be an alternative to wood fibers.

Are the ecological and human dimensions of a national park reconcilable? Addressing visitors' preferences for conservation programs

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The human dimension must be considered in conservation actions. This article presents a discrete choice experiment that analyses the preferences of visitors for the conservation programs being developed in a National Park. The experiment allows identifying certain conflicts between the ecological and social dimensions, and the conclusion is that there ...

A specific primer PCR and RFLP assay for the rapid detection and differentiation in planta of some Mycosphaerella species associated with foliar diseases of Eucalyptus globulus

, 2004
It is difficult to accurately identify Mycosphaerella species associated with leaf diseases of Eucalyptus based on morphological characters, as there is considerable overlap between very similar species and subspecies, and isolation from the host is not ...
