Beating the Bullies: Managing Aggressive Manorinas to Restore Bird Assemblages

The composition of many eastern Australian woodland and forest bird assemblages is controlled by a single, hyper-aggresive native bird, the noisy miner <em>Manorina melanocephala</em>. The "Avifaunal disarry from a single despotic species" working group harnessed diverse existing datasets and used them to develop and test models of noisy miner occupancy and impacts. Two datasets are published based on the analysis and synthesis.

Delamere SD52-16 - AUSTopo 1:250 000 digital map

This map is part of the AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series. It covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 516 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and at least 110 kilometres from north to south. The topographic map shows approximate coverage of the sheets. The map may contain information from surrounding map sheets to maximise utilisation of available space on the map sheet. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries.

Weekly Pollen Count Data for the Suburb of Campbelltown (University of Western Sydney), Sydney, NSW

The datafile contains the composition and abundance of airborne pollen in the suburb of Campbelltown (University of Western Sydney), Sydney, NSW, Australia. The data was collected for the period between August 1992 to December 1995 as a study presented by Bass and Morgan (1997). This forms part of a study of the Australian Aerobiology working group (Haberle, Bowman, Newnham, Johnston, Beggs, Buters, Campbell, Erbas, Godwin, Green, Heute, Jaggard, Medek, Murray, Newbiggin, Thibaudon, Vicendese, Williamson, Davies “The macroecology of airborne pollen in Australian and New Zealand urban areas”).

Wirilda-Callitris-Eucalyptus Mallee Low Open Grassy Woodland, SA. VAST-2: Tracking the Transformation of Australia's Vegetated Landscapes

The aim of this project is to compile land use and management practices and their observed and measured impacts and effects on vegetation condition. The results provide land managers and researchers with a tool for reporting and monitoring spatial and temporal transformations of Australia’s native vegetated landscapes due to changes in land use and management practices. Following are the details about Wirilda-Callitris-Eucalyptus mallee in South Australia, Australia. 

Pre-European reference-analogue vegetation: <em>Callitris</em> (<em>Callitris preissii</em>) - <em>Eucalyptus</em> mallee (<em>E. odorata</em> and <em>E. porosa</em>) low open woodland. 

Brief chronology of changes in land use and management:<ul>
<li>1750-1849: Meru indigenous people manage the area</li>
<li>1838: Explorers traversed the area</li>
<li>1850: Pastoralists with shepherds, grazing sheep</li>
<li>1883: Land selected, boundary fencing established</li>
<li>1883-1900: Continuous grazing with sheep and cattle grazing native vegetation</li>
<li>1890: Heavy timber cutting for Callington and Kanmantoo mines, sheep grazing</li>
<li>1900: Area ploughed and sown to black oats</li>
<li>1901-72: Continuous grazing with sheep and cattle grazing modified and native pastures</li>
<li>1950: Commenced fertilising pastures using super - applied aerially several times in the 1960’s</li>
<li>1972: Ceased applications of super fertilizer, ceased grazing all cattle removed</li>
<li>1974: Area purchased by the Lay family</li>
<li>1974-1981: Planted about 25,000 tubestock using local endemic species, mainly trees and shrubs</li>
<li>1974-2012: Monitoring and recording of seedling survival and regeneration</li>
<li>1974-1985, 2006-12: Major effort in controlling weeds and feral animals</li>
<li>1982: Area gazetted as a Heritage Agreement</li>
<li>1983-2003: All further revegetation efforts by direct seeding techniques such as “niche seeding”</li>
<li>1992: Massive summer rains (a 1:430 year event) with major erosion along watercourses and regeneration of most species</li>
<li>2004: Neighbour starts fire, which burns out 25% of area</li>
<li>2006: Area gains a 10 year package of funding under the “bushbids” biodiversity stewardship programme</li>
<li>2007: <em>Monadenia</em> weed orchid and bridal creeper begin to invade area.</li>

Monitoring Australia's coasts from space - Tackling coastal complexity using earth observation data

Since 2015 Digital Earth Australia (DEA) has been producing continental scale earth observation (EO) products for the historical characterisation and ongoing monitoring of the Australian coastal region. Our products and workflows are focused on leveraging petabytes of analysis ready (ARD) EO data, innovative methods for dealing with noise and environmental variability, and a commitment to open-source code, methods and data access. This talk will introduce the complementary products and approaches we have used to tackle one of the most varied coastal and tidal environments in the world and demonstrate the wide range of uptake and use cases they have achieved across government, industry and academia.

Digital Hemispherical Photography (DHP) from Whroo Dry Eucalypt SuperSite

Digital Hemispherical Photography (DHP) upward-looking images were collected annually to capture vegetation and crown cover at Whroo Dry Eucalypt SuperSite.  These images can be used to estimate Leaf area index (LAI), Crown Cover or Foliage Projective Cover (FPC).



The site was established in 2010 in box woodland dominated by <em>Eucalyptus microcarpa</em> (grey box) and <em>eucalyptus leucoxylon</em> (yellow gum). For additional site information, see https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/whroo-dry-eucalypt-supersite/.



Other images collected at the site include photopoints, phenocam time-lapse images taken from fixed overstorey cameras and ancilliary images of fauna and flora.

L075 Southern Georgina Basin seismic survey, NT, QLD, 1965

Following a month of preliminary experimental seismic work in the latter part.of 1964 the Bureau of Mineral Resources carried out a reconnaissance seismic survey of the southern part of the Georgina Basin, mainly in the Northern Territory, from April to October 1965. In most areas reflections proved very difficult to obtain. A number of different techniques were tried, including various shot andgeophone pattern arrangements, noise testing,collinear offset shooting, airshooting and multiple coverage, but no technique was found which was generally successful in providing useful reflections. The seismic results tended to confirm gravity indications that there is a shelf area between BMR 12 Bore and Tobermory and provided no indications that there are deep Palaeozoic troughs similar to the Toko -Syncline in the survey area.
