Mistletoes of Southern Australia
Author: David WatsonPublisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 1486310958
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Mistletoes are an enigmatic group of plants. Lacking roots and depending on other plants for their livelihood, they have inspired a range of beliefs throughout the world. Some people regard them as being endowed with magical properties, others as destructive weeds that devalue native habitats, and still others as beautiful native plants that support wildlife. This second edition of Mistletoes of Southern Australia is the definitive authority on these intriguing native plants. With specially commissioned watercolours by artist Robyn Hulley and more than 130 colour photographs, it provides detailed species accounts for all 47 species found in the region. It is fully updated throughout, with new distribution maps and new sections on fire, climate change and mistletoes in urban areas. It also describes the ecology, life history and cultural significance of mistletoes, their distribution in Australia and around the world, and practical advice on their management.
Diseases and Pathogens of Eucalypts

Pages : 576
Book Description
Over the last fifty years, there has been an increasing recognition that eucalypts are vulnerable to a wide range of diseases. They have suffered destructive epidemics, particularly of dieback caused by the cinnamon fungus in native forests, of foliar diseases and cankers in plantations, and of dieback of remnant trees on agricultural and grazing land. This has stimulated intensive research into the causes and management of diseases of the eucalypts. This work represents a comprehensive review of our current knowledge of the health and diseases of eucalypts.

Water Relations of the Mistletoe Amyema Miquelii and Host Eucalyptus Fasciculosa
Author: John WhittingtonThe Impact of an Australian Mistletoe, Amyema Miquelii (Loranthaceae), on Nutrient Cycling in Eucalypt Forests and Woodlands

ISBN:
Category : Eucalyptus

Book Description
"The importance of nutrient cycling in regulating ecosystem processes has long been recognised; however, the role of parasitic plants has been largely ignored. This thesis documents the significant effect a hemiparasitic mistletoe, Amyema miquelii (Lehm. ex Miq.) Tiegh., can have on nutrient cycling in red gum woodlands (Eucalyptus blakelyi, E. dwyeri and E. dealbata) and red gum dominated forests of south-eastern Australia. Litter is one of the main routes for the trasfer of nutrients from the plant to soil in the nutrient cycle (Adams & Attiwill, 1986) and as such is the topic of this study. The aim was to assess the effect of mistletoe presence in the tree canopy on litterfalll and nutrient transfers in the leaf litter, then on to the soil via decomposition, and the subsequent effects on the plant community ...
