Habitat specificity analyses reveal the importance of grazing refugia for plant diversity conservation in a warm‐temperate grassy ecosystem

Nick L. Schultz, Nick Reid, G. M. Lodge, John T. Hunter

Abstract Aims The effects of pastoralism on grassy vegetation are predicted to vary across spatial scales. However, local‐scale effects have generally been better considered than large‐scale effects that may be pertinent for plant diversity conservation. We examined variation in plant diversity in …

Broad‐scale patterns in plant diversity vary between land uses in a variegated temperate A ustralian agricultural landscape

Nick L. Schultz, Nick Reid, G. M. Lodge, John T. Hunter

Abstract Plant diversity is threatened in many agricultural landscapes. Our understanding of patterns of plant diversity in these landscapes is mainly based on small‐scale (<1000 m 2 ) observations of species richness. However, such observations are insufficient for detecting the spatial heterogeneity …

Seasonal and interannual variation in vegetation composition: Implications for survey design and data interpretation

Nick L. Schultz, Nick Reid, G. M. Lodge, John T. Hunter

Abstract Understanding how vegetation composition varies with season and interannual climate variability is important for any ecological research that uses vegetation data derived from surveys for the basis of inference. Misunderstanding this variation can influence land management and planning decisions, leading to …

Contribution of native pastures and grassy woodlands to regional plant diversity on the North-West Slopes of New South Wales

Nicholas Schultz, Nick Reid, G. M. Lodge, John T. Hunter et autres

Plant species diversity on the North-West Slopes of New South Wales is threatened by pastoral management activities, both past and present. Native vegetation has been extensively cleared for livestock grazing, which has created a landscape in which only remnants of original vegetation …

Persistence and productivity of Medicago sativa subspecies sativa, caerulea, falcata and varia accessions at three intermittently dry sites in south-eastern Australia

Guangdi Li, Zhongnan Nie, S. P. Boschma, B. S. Dear et autres

The persistence and productivity of a diverse range of Medicago sativa germplasm including representatives of subspecies sativa, caerulea, falcata and varia were examined at 3 field sites in south-eastern Australia over 4 years. Sites were located at Tamworth, Barmedman and Hamilton, forming …

Evaluation of chicory cultivars and accessions for forage in south-eastern Australia

Guangdi Li, Zhongnan Nie, Amanda L. Bonython, S. P. Boschma et autres

The comparative herbage production and persistence of 7 chicory cultivars and 14 accessions collected from diverse regions of the world were evaluated over 3 years in 5 agro-ecological environments across New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (Vic.) and South Australia (SA). Results showed …

Seedling competition of lucerne in mixtures with temperate and tropical pasture species

S. P. Boschma, G. M. Lodge, S. Harden

Two replacement series studies were conducted to quantify the competitive ability of seedlings of Medicago sativa (lucerne) sown in mixtures with temperate and tropical species. A temperate mixtures study (Expt 1) consisted of lucerne cv. Genesis sown with each of Phalaris aquatica …

Changes in soil water content under annual, perennial, and shrub-based pastures in an intermittently dry, summer-rainfall environment

G. M. Lodge, Mark A. Brennan, S. Harden, S. P. Boschma

Soil water content (SWC) was monitored in an intermittently dry environment in 2003–08, for the following pasture types: perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne cv. Skippy), lucerne (Medicago sativa cv. Venus), phalaris (Phalaris aquatica cv. Atlas PG), a lucerne/phalaris mixture, digit grass (Digitaria eriantha …
