Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Habits and Habitats in the Arid Portions of South Australia The physical background of the Australian plants is in a measure unique. The dry region is very extensive. Some idea of its size can be had by the statement that it has nearly as great an area as all Arabia, and as a matter of fact is larger than all other regions of the kind south of the equator. Living and developing under an environment of which the keynote is aridity, the flora of the continent as a Whole bears a xerophytic stamp and appears to possess a degree of uniformity which constitutes one of its most marked characteristics. Wherever one goes in Australia, he encounters trees and shrubs with leathery, ever green leaves. In the better-watered portions the trees are large and numerous and there is an extensive transpiration surface, but in portions less favored in this particular the trees are not large, a shrubby type of vegetation prevails, and the transpiration surface is also much restricted in area. Between the two extremes there are innumerable intermediate conditions in which the gradations are quantitative rather than qualitative. When studied in some detail, however, there may be found a bewildering variety of adjustments to the environment, often monotonous perhaps in outward appearance, and which have in a measure the force of belying the generalization just made.

Download or read book History of the Australian Vegetation written by Robert S. Hill and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian vegetation is the end result of a remarkable history of climate change, latitudinal change, continental isolation, soil evolution, interaction with an evolving fauna, fire and most recently human impact. This book presents a detailed synopsis of the critical events that led to the evolution of the unique Australian flora and the wide variety of vegetational types contained within it. The first part of the book details the past continental relationships of Australia, its palaeoclimate, fauna and the evolution of its landforms since the rise to dominance of the angiosperms at the beginning of the Cretaceous period. A detailed summary of the palaeobotanical record is then presented. The palynological record gives an overview of the vegetation and the distribution of important taxa within it, while the complementary macrofossil record is used to trace the evolution of critical taxa. This book will interest graduate students and researchers interested in the evolution of the flora of this fascinating continent.
Download or read book Coastal Landscapes of South Australia written by Robert P. Bourman and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geologically, the South Australian coast is very young, having evolved over only 1% of geological time, during the past 43 million years since the separation of Australia and Antarctica. It is also very dynamic, with the current shoreline position having been established from only 7000 years ago. The South Australian mainland coast is 3816 km long, with islands providing an additional 1251 km of coast, giving a total coastline of just over 5000 km. South Australian coastal landforms include cliffs, rocky outcrops and shore platforms, mangrove woodlands, mudflats, estuaries, extensive sandy beaches, coastal dunes and coastal barrier systems, as well as numerous near-shore reefs and islands. This book is a landmark study into the variable character of the South Australian coast and its long-term evolution.
