Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Naturalised Weeds and Other Plants in South Australia It is an historical fact that whenever man settles in a new country he not only carries the weeds that are most troublesome in cultivated ground along with him, but he also exercises a potent influence over the indigenous vegetation, especially when he engages in agricultural and pastoral pursuits. The plough, the axe, the flocks and herds, are enemies to the existing vegetation, and as cultivation advances each representant of the herbaceous flora, perennial and annual, succumbs to the foreign influence. But the plough, axe, and herds are not the sole destroyers of the native herbage, for with cultivation are introduced noxious weeds, and the new-comers, finding a suitable soil and climate, spread with alarming rapidity, and become possessors of the ground, ejecting the indigenous herbaceous plants, and taking their places. From the past and present constant intercourse with Europe and other parts of the world, and the abundant importation of seeds into Australia for agricultural and horticultural purposes, it is no wonder that a very great number of the weeds most troublesome at home are now naturalised in South Australia. Our temperate climate and soil suit their growth, and such atmospheric influences, as hot winds, unseasonable, &c., do not check their spread. Another cause of their extension is to be found in the extent of unoccupied ground, which is alone sufficient to account for the predominance and migration of so many of the worst European weeds. Some of these, viz.: - The Cockspur, Centaurea melitensis, Linn.; the Bathurst bur, Xanthium spinosum. Linn.; the Scotch thistle, Onopordon Acanthium, Linn.; the Variegated thistle, Carduus Marianus, Linn.; the Stinkaster, Inula suaveolens, Jacq.; the Sheep weed, Lithospermum arvense, Linn.; and the Cape dandelion, Cryptostema calendulacea, R. Br., already cover immense tracts of pasture land, and extend farther and farther to the destruction of the native herbage.

Book excerpt: "This field guide begins with some simple explanations of the botanical terms inescapable in describing plants. Its organization does not follow the formal layout of the definitive Floras of the region. Plants are not arranged in their families but are listed in alphabetical order of scientific name. It is to this extent self-indexing. However, an index of common plant names is included so that those who only know a plant by one of these names, can locate it and confirm its description."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naturalised Flora of South Australia This is a descriptive and illustrated handbook of the alien plants naturalised in South Australia and propagating themselves spontaneously. Such plants form the greater part of our herbage near towns, and many of them have found their way into the far interior. The list also includes several ornamental plants which have gone astray from gardens or hedges, and all the "noxious weeds" which have been proclaimed as such by the Government. The subject is therefore of some importance, and it is hoped that this little book may be useful and interesting, not only to students of nature, but to country residents who may desire some botanical knowledge about the introduced plants which grow in their fields. No work of this kind has hitherto appeared in South Australia, or, as far as I know, in any part of Australia. The late Professor Tate, in his "Flora of Extra-tropical South Australia" (1890), dealt with only our native plants. Of the 368 plants here described, the countries of origin are as follow: - Europe generally (usually including Western Asia), 128; Mediterranean region (European and frequently North African Coasts), 92; most parts of the globe (cosmopolitan), 60; South Africa, 44; temperate South America, 15; Asia, 10; temperate North America, 6; Eastern Australia, 6; Western Australia, 1; Mexico, 3; Abyssinia, 1; Canary Islands, 2. It is noticeable that the plants which succeed best in the struggle for life are those which come from lands with climates resembling our own, such as the Mediterranean region, South Africa and temperate South America.

Download or read book Wetland Weeds written by Nick Romanowski and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2011-09-05 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive guide to wetland weeds covers both native and introduced species, ranging from minor or localised environmental problems to those that should not be tolerated in any situation. The author takes a pragmatic approach to weed control, recognising that some weeds may not be possible to eradicate, and emphasising the need to assess the extent and future potential of any infestation before taking action. Weed control should be planned in the context of the overall management goals for any type of wetland, the types of habitat weeds provide or overrun, and whether they can be replaced successfully with more appropriate plants. A range of strategies for controlling wetland weeds are considered, from containment actions to prevent the development of a soil seed bank to physical removal, and biological approaches from biocontrol to shading, overplanting and use of turbidity. The widespread use of chemical controls is also discussed, with the warning that these are often only a short-term cure and can cause more harm to aquatic ecosystems than the weeds they are holding at bay. More than 130 species of established weeds are included with information on their origins, nutrient responses, environmental effects, habitat values, prospects for containment or eradication, and even culinary uses. Other sections look at native plants as weeds, including a number of species of uncertain origins, and potential weeds still being legally sold through the aquarium and nursery trades.

Download or read book Biological Invasions in South Africa written by Brian W. van Wilgen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 972 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume presents a comprehensive account of all aspects of biological invasions in South Africa, where research has been conducted over more than three decades, and where bold initiatives have been implemented in attempts to control invasions and to reduce their ecological, economic and social effects. It covers a broad range of themes, including history, policy development and implementation, the status of invasions of animals and plants in terrestrial, marine and freshwater environments, the development of a robust ecological theory around biological invasions, the effectiveness of management interventions, and scenarios for the future. The South African situation stands out because of the remarkable diversity of the country, and the wide range of problems encountered in its varied ecosystems, which has resulted in a disproportionate investment into both research and management. The South African experience holds many lessons for other parts of the world, and this book should be of immense value to researchers, students, managers, and policy-makers who deal with biological invasions and ecosystem management and conservation in most other regions.

Download or read book Garden Escapees Become Environmental Weeds written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies the twenty most invasive horticultural plants (garden escapees), in the Ipswich region and offers three native alternatives for each identified weed. While the research for this book was principally confined to the greater Ipswich (QLD) region, weeds are notorious for not respecting Local or State Government boundaries. As such, the information contained herein has relevance to much of South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. The purpose of this book is to: Raise the public's awareness of the issue of environmental weeds and reduce the weed management burden imposed upon taxpayers, conservation volunteers and the natural environment; Highlight the inappropriateness of continuing to import potentially invasive plants from the other side of the planet, to displace highly adapted, unique and iconic Australian native flora; Assist gardeners in making local native species their first choice, instead of accepting plants from thousands of kilometers away; Stimulate increased interest in the selective breeding of the listed alternatives and other native species so that future generations of gardeners can enjoy significantly more Australian native plants.
