This article traces the development of conceptual paradigms of soil classification and
map** from the pre-1960's model of crisp classes in attribute space linked to crisply …

We study the influence of nine local, non-local and combined quantitative topographic
characteristics on vegetation cover, altitude and density. The objects under study are four …

Stochastic fractals (for example, the fractional Brownian noises) model the often observed
power law relation between the variance of a soil property and the length of transect …

A coupled carbon and water flux model (BIOME2) captures the broad‐scale environmental
controls on the natural distribution of vegetation structural and phenological types in …

Fragmentation of extensive natural ecosystems by roads, railways and other barriers poses
major threats to populations of native animals. Attempts have been made to reduce the …

In Australia, the Proteaceae are a diverse group of plants. They inhabit a wide range of
environments, many of which are low in plant resources. They support a wide range of …

We examined relations between vegetation and soils, using multivariate methods, in hitherto
poorly‐known upland swamps on the Woronora Plateau, south of Sydney. A major trend in …

(1) Patterns of flowering, levels of fruit set and pollination limitation of fruit set were examined
over four years in a group of four co-occurring Banksia species (Proteaceae) in south …

Temperate Highland Peat Swamps on Sandstone (THPSS) are a form of topogenous mire
found on the plateau areas of eastern Australia. They are well recognised for their ecological …
