Plot data for flupropanate treatment of African lovegrass

Context. Managing widespread invasive plants to support biodiversity conservation is a significant challenge that requires weed control methods that have lesser impacts on co-occurring native species than ongoing weed invasion. African lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) is a perennial grass invasive in many regions globally. There is a lack of effective control options, particularly in diverse native vegetation where application of broad-spectrum herbicide has risks of unacceptable off-target impacts. Aims. We tested the effectiveness of flupropanate (sodium 2,2,3,3-tetra-fluoropropionate) in controlling African lovegrass in a conservation context in Mediterranean-climate south-western Australia, testing two application rates and measuring target and off-target impact. Methods. Cover of plant species and their condition (alive or dead) was measured in replicate plots in a ‘before-after-control-impact’ design. Key results. Flupropanate significantly reduced African lovegrass cover, with greater reduction at the higher application rate. No significant off-target effects could be detected at a community or plant functional group level. Conclusions. The results of this study indicate that flupropanate is effective in controlling African lovegrass in conservation settings in south-western Australia. These findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the use of flupropanate for invasive grass management. Implications. Possible off-target impacts on a single species in this study, and stronger evidence from other sources, suggests that robust testing of the susceptibility of conservation-listed flora to flupropanate should precede application in their habitat.

Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch Data Dashboard

Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch engages the community in the environment through monitoring and caring for our catchments. We educate and raise awareness in schools and the community on issues concerning catchment health and we use data collected by volunteers to inform policy and on ground catchment management. 

Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch volunteers and staff collect data on water quality, waterbug diversity and abundance, and riparian vegetation condition at over 200 sites in the catchment. To use these data to assess the health of our waterways and the broader catchment, sites are grouped into reaches (segments of waterways and/or related waterbodies), and each year the data are summarised and presented by reach. Detailed methods can be found in the Catchment Health Indicator Program (CHIP) reports produced each year by Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch: https://www.act.waterwatch.org.au/data/chip-reports

This interactive map and data dashboard allows users to explore Waterwatch data on the water quality, waterbug diversity and abundance, and riparian vegetation condition of waterways in the upper Murrumbidgee River catchment, from 2015-2024.

ACTGOV Environmental Offsets Boundary




What is the resource?
This layer contains environmental offset which have been granted approval under the EPBC act (approved).
Environmental offsets are additional land that will be protected from future development and managed to maintain or enhance the matters of national environmental significance in accordance with the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation ACT 1999. To see more information on Environmental offsets visit: https://www.environment.act.gov.au/ACT-parks-conservation/environmental-offsets
Who created the resource?
The ACT Parks and Conservation Service (PCS) is the primary land manager of offset sites within the ACT, on behalf of the ACT Government. PCS has collated the environmental offset boundary datasets and continues to curate this dataset. Offset boundaries are established when a proposal by the proponent is accepted by the Commonwealth in accordance with the approval conditions.
Who was it created for? &amp; why was it created?
This layer was created to support PCS with the ongoing management of environmental offsets within the ACT, and to be made publicly available as per the transparency requirements of the EPBC Act's Environmental Offsets Policy, and ACT Government's commitment to transparency.
When was it created?
Environmental offsets are proposed during the assessment stage of an environmental impact assessment under the EPBC ACT. The final offset boundary may not be agreed until post the approval is granted, and a condition of the approval is triggered. An newly approved offset is added to this dataset within 12 months of approval and offset boundary establishment.

ACTGOV Potential Threatened Woodland




This layer contains the most current information on the potential distribution of ACT and EPBC listed Box Gum Grassy Woodland in the ACT. Yellow box-Blakely's red gum grassy woodland and derived grassland is an Endangered Ecological Community under the Nature Conservation Act 2014. White box - Yellow box - Blakely's red gum grassy woodland and derived grassland is a Critically Endangered Ecological Community under the EPBC Act 1999. The criteria for the EPBC community is slightly different to the ACT listed of the community Yellow box-Blakely's red gum grassy woodland and derived grassland community. 
Mapping represents 'potential' distribution of the threatened ecological community (tec) as listing status of this community must be verified with field inspection.
Mapping product supersedes mapping completed by Maguire and Mulvaney in 2012 (see https://www.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/2539609/25-box-gum-woodland-in-the-act-2011.pdf).
Caveat: This layer is indicative of likely habitat for threatened grassy box woodlands in the ACT but may not reflect the full distribution. Lack of identification of this community at a site does not necessarily indicate that the community does not occur there. For environmental impact assessment investigations, further survey may be required.
