Economics of Australian Soil Conditions 1996/97 – Limiting Factor or Relative Yield (min of ry_salt2000, ry_acid, ry_sodicity and ry_min)

    

Limiting Factor or Relative Yield (min of ry_salt2000, ry_acid, ry_sodicity
and ry_min) dataset is one of 11 national surfaces, represented by ~1km grids,
relating to economic opportunities associated with soil condition. All dollar
values are given in 1996/97 Australian dollars. There are three sub-types of
data in this dataset: relative yields, gross benefits and impact costs. Each
is described as follows:1. Relative yield (RY): This is the yield of the crop
or pasture, relative to its full potential expressed as a percentage. It is
equal to actual yield divided by potential yield. The relative yield surfaces,
measured as a ratio (0 to 1) and represented with a 1km grid, include: *
ry_salt2000; ry_salt2020: The relative yield of salinity in the year 2000 and
2020* ry_Acid; ry_Esp: The relative yield from soil acidity and soil sodicity*
ry_min: The limiting factor relative yield a minimum of ry_salt2000, ry_acid,
ry_esp and ry_min.* lim_fact:Factor most limiting yield a of acidity, sodicity
and salinity 2. Gross benefit (GB): The gross benefit is the additional profit
at full equity attainable through agricultural production if the yield-
limiting factor of salinity, acidity or sodicity were repaired without cost.
As such it can be considered an approximate investment ceiling on treating the
soil. The gross benefit grids are measured in $/ha/yr and include:* gb97a;
gb97e; gb97s a for soil acidity; sodicity; salinity* gb97m a the combined
limiting factor gross benefit. 3. Impact cost (ic97s): This is the decline in
agricultural profit at full equity due to worsening dryland salinity severity
and extent over the time period 2000 to 2020. It is measured in $/ha/yr. It is
determined only through changes in crop yield as a consequence of changes in
dryland salinity. Impact cost can be considered the loss in profit at full
equity due to worsening salinity over the 20yr time period. Keywords:
Economics, Natural Resources, Australia, Salinity, Sodicity, Acidity, Soil
TreatmentData is in albers and unprojected, using WGS84 and GDA94.

Effect of invasive tagging on the activity behaviour of Holothuria whitmaei (sea cucumber) at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

Data were collected to evaluate the practicality of marking the dorsal tegument as a tagging method for short-term mark-recapture studies of holothurians (Holothuria whitmaei, Bell 1887) and to compare the behaviour of 'marked' to 'unmarked' control animals.

Effects of environmental factors on the distribution of shrimp in Western Port Bay, Victoria

This study investigated the influence of environmental factors on the distribution of shrimp in Western Port Bay from July 1977 to January 1980. Water temperature, salinity and oxygen concentrations at the sediment surface were measured from a boat at high tide during the field sampling (see parent record 'The ecology and trophic role of caridean shrimps in the eelgrass community of Western Port, Victoria', File identifier: 268431c0-f18e-11dc-aaae-00188b4c0af8). Additional measurements of low tide surface water temperature over the mudflats, sediments below the mud-water interface, and surface waters of the large, permanent channels between mudbanks were obtained. Above-ground vegetation cover was sampled monthly for 12 months at Site A. 

The water temperature in the eelgrass ranged from 10 to 24 degrees Celsius during high tide and from 5 to 31 degrees Celsius during low tide. Salinity was close to fully marine throughout the warmer months of 1977-78, but fell to lower levels during the cooler months of 1978, presumably as a result of higher rainfall in the latter period. Oxygen concentrations were above 6 ppm at all sites during high and low tide sampling. The dry mass of above-round eelgrass was spatially heterogeneous with few changes in these patterns between seasons.

Effects of human activities on intertidal gastropods

This data was collected to investigate the relationship between human activities and size distribution of gastropods on rocky shores. It was predicted that there would be a negative correlation between the level of human activity and the average size of gastropod species such as Cellana tramoserica, Austrocochlea constricta, Turbo undulata, Thais orbita and Nerita atramentosa, which are collected by humans for bait and occasionally for food. Sampling was undertaken in May 1990 and February/March 1991 at 6 locations within the Bunurong Marine Park, Victoria. On each sampling occasion the size of 100 snails of each species was measured at each site.

Effects of introduced sessile invertebrates: removal experiments.

Three removal experiments were conducted to test the effects of the introduced species, Bugula neritina, Ascidiella aspersa and Botryllus schlosseri on sessile invertebrate assemblages. Each experiment was run for approximately 2 months between 28th November 2004 and 13th February 2004. These experiments involved removing the introduced species from plates and then comparing these assemblages to those on disturbed control and control plates, where the introduced species had not been removed. The introduced species were removed by scraping them and surrounding species from the surface in 1/8 or 1/4 cm2 areas or by peeling individuals off with forceps. All individuals on the plates were counted and identified at the completion of the experiments.

Geoscience Australia Marine Survey GA0332 (SS05/2011): Natural hydrocarbon seepage survey of the offshore northern Perth Basin - %Carbonate and specific surface areas of seabed sediments.

In September and October of 2011 Geoscience Australia surveyed part of the offshore northern Perth Basin in order to map potential sites of natural hydrocarbon seepage. The primary objectives of the survey were to map the spatial distribution of seepage sites and characterise the nature of the seepage at these sites (gas vs oil, macroseepage vs microseepage; palaeo vs modern day seepage) on the basis of: acoustic signatures in the water column, shallow subsurface and on the seabed; geochemical signatures in rock and sediment samples and the water column; and biological signatures on the seabed. Areas of potential natural hydrocarbon seepage that were surveyed included proven (drilled) oil and gas accumulations, a breached structure, undrilled hydrocarbon prospects, and areas with potential signatures of fluid seepage identified in seismic, satellite remote sensing and multibeam bathymetry data. Within each of these areas the survey acquired: water column measurements with the CTD; acoustic data with single- and multi-beam echosounders, sidescan sonar and sub-bottom profiler (sidescan not acquired in Area F as it was too deep in places); and sediment and biological samples with the Smith-McIntyre Grab. In addition, data were collected with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), integrated hydrocarbon sensor array, and CO2 sensor in selected areas. Sampling with the gravity corer had limited success in many of the more shallow areas (A-E) due to the coarse sandy nature of the seabed sediments. This data set comprises carbonate and specific surface area measurements in the upper 2cm of seabed sediments.

Effects of introduced species on the recruitment of sessile invertebrates.

This experiment was conducted to determine if an established Botryllus schlosseri colony affected the recruitment of sessile invertebrates. Small perspex plates that had been in the field for 8 weeks and then in a laboratory water table were used to test  this hypothesis. Treatment plates were scraped of all organisms expect for the B. schlosseri colonies. Control and 'mimic' plates were scraped of all organisms. Mimic B. schlosseri were made from silicone and used to determine if the effects were due to the physical structure of the organism or biological attributes (e.g. post-settlement overgrowth or chemical defence mechanisms). Plates were suspended from Workshops Jetty, Williamstown for 10 days (2nd March to 12th March 2004) before being collected. At the conclusion of the experiment all species found on the plates were counted and identified.
