Summary Ecosystem management often proceeds within the context of sub‐optimal relationships between ecologists and ecosystem managers, and management outcomes could be improved with greater collaboration between members of these disciplines. This paper identifies an ecosystem management problem resulting from the interaction between timber harvesting and browsing wallabies, and this case study is used to exemplify how ecological data and expertise can contribute to the process of ecosystem management. It is argued that appropriate use of existing ecological data, establishment of strategic new research and the implementation of management actions as experimental hypothesis tests can facilitate achievement of management objectives, but greater collaboration between ecologists and managers is required before this can occur. Reasons for sub‐optimal relationships are outlined, and the potential for structural change within large State‐run ecosystem management agencies to improve interactions between managers and ecologists is discussed. 相似文献

Carr vegetation was once extensive in New Zealand. It can be divided into Cordyline australis I Carex secta carr, comprising an open wood with scattered large herbs and an abundance of Carex species, and podocarp carr, dominated by tall conifers. Both have been almost eliminated by agricultural development. We studied a remnant of Cordyline australis I Carex secta carr in South Island, which graded at one end into salt marsh. Eight communities were recognized, including one pure salt marsh and two more with saline influence. Near the stream that provided moisture and alluvium for the area were herbaceous communities. In the poorly-drained area away from the stream were communities dominated by shrubs and small trees. The soil environment is similar to that of many European carrs, though generally less organic. A number of the exotic species are also found in European carrs. 相似文献

Measurements made in fresh water wetland have shown that temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and bicarbonate alkalinity in the hyacinth infested area were lower, but dissolved free carbon dioxide concentration was excitingly greater than in the open water area. This extreme hypoxic and hypercarbic condition of hyacinth covered areas was caused by the thick coverage of Eichhornia crassipes which was crucial for the composition of the characteristic flora and fauna. 相似文献

Geonoma brevispatha is a clonal palm species commonly found as tussocks in swamp and riparian forests in SE Brazil, occurring in the very transition between flooded pits/channels and dry mounds. Aiming to verify whether the germination responses could explain the spatial pattern of the palm tussocks in swamp forests, we investigated the germination in relation to the main environmental factors to which the seeds are subjected in their natural habitat. The seeds are recalcitrant since germination percentage is reduced with loss of moisture content. Germination did not differ on moist filter paper, semi-immersion (water up to half of the seed diameter) or complete immersion (water up to double of the seed diameter). Seeds did not germinate when stored in a closed bottle with water (that is, under low oxygen concentration), but remained viable for up to 8 weeks under this condition. The capacity to germinate in water with minimum oxygen availability may be considered ecologically advantageous in a swamp habitat. On the other hand, the capacity to germinate in moist filter paper indicates that, in natural conditions, the seed can germinate, provided there is a critical minimum of water availability. We concluded that the germination responses per se are not enough to explain the palm tussocks spatial pattern, but they are very well tuned with the conditions of the transitional zone between channels/pits (ever flooded micro-sites) and mounds (well-drained micro-sites), in which the species occurs in the swamp forest. 相似文献

The feeding ecology of western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) living in the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park, northern Congo, was surveyed for one full year. This is the first record to
make clear the seasonal changes in the feeding habits of gorillas in a whole year, living in the primary lowland forest almost
completely undisturbed. Fecal contents, feeding traces, and direct observation were analyzed with reference to a fruit availability
survey. Although the gorillas fed largely on fruits in the forest, their basic diet was fibrous parts of plants, including
shoots, young leaves, and bark. Terrestrial herbaceous vegetation, such as monocotyledons of the Marantaceae and aquatic herbs
having much protein content and minerals, were frequently eaten even in the fruiting season. As these highly nutritious fibrous
foods were superabundant all year, the major foods of the Ndoki gorillas seemed to be those plants. However, they selected
fruits as their alternative food resources in the fruiting season. Gorillas foraged on many fruit species, while showing strong
preferences for some particular species. The swamp forest, including marshy grasslands, was an important and regular habitat
for the Ndoki gorillas. 相似文献

Thalassiocyclus pankensis sp. nov. is described from Panke Swamp (Panke-numa) located in Horonobe Town, Hokkaido, northern Japan. The species is characterized by a strong transversely undulate central area of the valve face with one to three fultoportulae on the elevated part and one fultoportula on the depressed part. The external valve face has costate radial interfascicles and very wide fascicles on the marginal area. Thickened openings of mantle fultoportulae are located at the end of interfascicles with roofed board spines. The cingulum consists of five bands. The new species is compared to the only other species belonging to genus Thalassiocyclus , T. lucens (Hustedt) Håkansson & Mahood. Thalassiocyclus pankensis is the second species in the genus Thalassiocyclus and also the first report of a Thalassiocyclus species in Japan. 相似文献

North American oak species, with their characteristic strong episodic seasonal shoot growth, are highly problematic for clonal
micropropagation, resulting in the inability to achieve a stabilized shoot multiplication stage. The potential for initiating
and proliferating shoot cultures derived from Quercus alba, Q. bicolor and Q. rubra explants was investigated, and a micropropagation method for these species was developed. Branch segments from 6 to 7-year-old
trees were forced-flushed and the forced shoots were used as source of explants for culture initiation. A consistent shoot
multiplication stage was achieved, in 13 of the 15 genotypes established in vitro, although marked differences occurred in
explants from different genotypes/species. The control of efficient shoot multiplication involved the culture of decapitated
shoots in a stressful horizontal position on cytokinin-containing medium with a sequence of transfers within a 6-week subculture
cycle, which was beneficial to overcoming the episodic character of shoot growth. During each subculture cycle, the horizontally
placed explants were cultured on media containing 0.2 mg l−1 benzyladenine (BA) for 2 weeks with two successive transfers (2 weeks each) to fresh medium with 0.1 mg l−1 BA, giving a 6-week subculture cycle. The general appearance and vigor of Q. alba and Q. bicolor shoot cultures were improved by the inclusion of both 0.1 mg l−1 BA and 0.5 mg l−1 zeatin in the medium used for the second transfer within the 6-week subculture cycle. Addition of AgNO3 (3 mg l−1) to the shoot proliferation medium of Q. rubra had a significant positive effect on shoot development pattern by reducing deleterious symptoms, including shoot tip necrosis
and early senescence of leaves. The three species showed acceptable in vitro rooting rates by culturing microcuttings in medium
containing 25 mg l−1 indolebutyric acid for 48 h with subsequent transfer to auxin-free medium supplemented with 0.4% activated charcoal. Although
an initial 5-day dark period generally improved the rooting response, it was detrimental to the quality of regenerated plantlets.
However, activated charcoal stimulated not only the rooting frequencies, but it also enhanced plant quality, as evidenced
by root, shoot and leaf growth. 相似文献
