The river red gum has the most widespread natural distribution of Eucalyptus in Australia, forming extensive forests and woodlands in south-eastern Australia and providing the structural and functional elements of important floodplain and wetland ecosystems. Along ephemeral creeks in the arid Centre it exists as narrow corridors, providing vital refugia for biodiversity. The tree has played a central role in the tension between economy, society and environment and has been the subject of enquiries over its conservation, use and management. Despite this, we know remarkably little about the ecology and life history of the river red gum: its longevity; how deep its roots go; what proportion of its seedlings survive to adulthood; and the diversity of organisms associated with it. More recently we have begun to move from a culture of exploitation of river red gum forests and woodlands to one of conservation and sustainable use. In Flooded Forest and Desert Creek, the author traces this shift through the rise of a collective environmental consciousness, in part articulated through the depiction of river red gums and inland floodplains in art, literature and the media.
"The ACWA Plan identifies strategies to improve surface water quality and reduce turbidity in the upper Murrumbidgee River catchment. It provides a plan of actions over one, three and ten year time frames. The Plan covers a range of approaches including on-ground works, education and promotion, plus policy and program development by private sector and government organisations and individuals."--P. 3.
"New Zealand has an intriguing collection of native freshwater fish that tend to live out their lives largely unnoticed ... Native fish are easy to look after once their needs are understood, and are an interesting and unusual alternative to exotic acquarium species ... This book: discusses those species most suitable for the home aquarium, with a strong focus on conservation and ethical fishkeeping; includes detailed information on how to find, catch, and look after nativ fish, with tops on how to identify the species; provides an understanding of the fish in their natural environments with suggestions for creating an attractive aquarium reflecting these habitats; is for scientists, fish keepers and the generally curious alike."--Back cover.
"The True Tales Catchment booklets are written by Will Trueman and combine oral history and science to investigate the changes to native fish populations in parts of the Basin. Each booklet has a particular focus on the Trout Cod, a fish that is intriguing to many and has little known about it. Will combines his piscatorial knowledge with stories, science, newspaper articles, fishing records and historic photographs to produce beautifully written insights into the rivers, fish and people of the Murray-Darling Basin"--Australian River Restoration Centre website.
The fish habitat restoration procedures presented in this guide provide the technical basis for a suite of integrated restorative measures to accelerate natural recovery processes in forested watersheds impacted by past practices that would otherwise require decades to recover naturally. An introductory section contains chapters on planning fish habitat rehabilitation, watershed geomorphology and fish habitat, salmonid biostandards for estimating production benefits of rehabilitation techniques, and screening criteria for restoration projects. Sections on the application of rehabilitation techniques cover such topics as fish access and spawning sites, stream banks, off-channel habitat, using large woody debris, log-jam habitats, juvenile salmonid habitat, mainstem holding and rearing habitat, nutrient replacement, habitats in channelized or uniform streams, augmenting streamflows, and managing beaver habitat for salmonids. Includes glossary.
