Tribe Anthocercideae (Solanaceae) is an Australian endemic group comprising 31 species in seven genera. Recent phylogenetic work has placed the Anthocercideae sister to Nicotiana. Two chloroplast DNA regions, ndhF and trnL/ F, were analyzed and the phylogeny was used to test the tribe’s monophyly, discover relationships within the tribe, and make inferences on character evolution and biogeograp...

Dieback of native Eucalyptus largiflorens forests is an increasing problem on the floodplains of the lower River Murray, southern Australia. Salinisation of floodplain soils, as a result of the changed hydrological management of the River Murray, appears to be a primary cause of the dieback. Regulation of the River Murray has reduced the frequency of large flood events by a factor of approximat...

The world's most iconic forests are under threat from climate change. Climate-fire-vegetation feedback mechanisms altering the usual successional trajectories of forests. Many obligate seeder across globe experiencing regeneration failures and subsequent alterations to their recovery trajectories. For example, persistence Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell. in southeast Australia is highly vulnerable ...

Supercritical CO2 (ScCO2) dewatering is a lumen water expulsion process, in which cycled between atmospheric pressure and supercritical phase results fast of free water. In this study, specimens 100 mm length Eucalyptus exserta F.V. Muell. wood were dewatered using ScCO2, then the un-dewatered dried oven at °C to investigate moisture transfer drying stress. The ScCO2 was very fast. When content...
