Themeda australis grasslands on the Basalt Plains, Victoria: floristics and management effects
J. Stuwe,R. F. Parsons +1 more
TL;DR: Themeda australis grasslands from basaltic areas of western Victoria was described using methods employed by the Zurich-Montpellier school of phytosociology as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and ecology of very fast germination
TL;DR: A group of flowering plant species is known to germinate in less than 24 h from imbibition, but this phenomenon is often overlooked in the current literature, so searching the literature published since 1967 and listing the 28 most detailed cases found is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regeneration of Three Tree Species in Arid South-Eastern Australia
CJ Chesterfield,R. F. Parsons +1 more
TL;DR: While Casuarina and Heterodendrum stand densities decline due to natural senescence and occasional fire, the only species regenerating into gaps is Myoporum, and Mammal-grazing seems important in strongly limiting regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Time Since Fire on Heath Floristics at Wilson's Promontory, Southern Australia
RP Russell,R. F. Parsons +1 more
TL;DR: Five stands of heath vegetation were located which were similar in all respects except that their age since last being burnt ranged from 1 to 21 years, and the essentially self-replacing nature of the vegetation after fire is due to the high incidence of rootstock regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variation in the volatile leaf oils of twoEucalyptus species
Dianne Simmons,R. F. Parsons +1 more
TL;DR: Seasonal variation in the volatile leaf oils of individual trees of Eucalyptus ovata and E. camphora was investigated, and individuals varied characteristically and differently over the sampling period.
