Abstract

The vast clearance of forest and woodland for agriculture with the removal of more than 93% of the native vegetation has decimated the fauna of what is now known as the Western Australian wheatbelt. This clearing has been particularly severe on wandoo woodlands through the wheatbelt. In order to quantify the usefulness of what has been left, three native woodland types were surveyed for avian abundance and diversity, in a large heterogeneous remnant of old-growth woodland, at Dryandra. Birds were counted at 70 points along seven transects, through three woodland types: powderbark wandoo (Eucalyptus accedens), wandoo (E. wandoo) and a brown mallet (E. astringens) plantation. Greater abundance and species richness were detected in E. wandoo woodland, although this is thought to be related to the more mesic and productive low-lying contours of the landscape on which it is situated.
卓安德拉非均质林地鸟类对林地类型、土壤和土壤梯度的响应
为了农业,森林和林地被大面积砍伐,超过93%的原生植被被砍伐,这使得现在被称为西澳大利亚小麦带的动物群大量死亡。这种清理对贯穿小麦带的wandoo林地尤其严重。为了量化剩下的有用性,对三种原生林地类型的鸟类数量和多样性进行了调查,在Dryandra的一个大型异质原始林地的遗迹中。鸟类在7个样带的70个点上被计数,通过3种林地类型:粉树皮wandoo(桉树),wandoo (E. wandoo)和棕色木槌(E. astringens)人工林。在E. wandoo林地中发现了更大的丰度和物种丰富度,尽管这被认为与它所处的地势较低的地形更为混乱和多产有关。

期刊介绍: Australian Journal of Zoology is an international journal publishing contributions on evolutionary, molecular and comparative zoology. The journal focuses on Australasian fauna but also includes high-quality research from any region that has broader practical or theoretical relevance or that demonstrates a conceptual advance to any aspect of zoology. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: anatomy, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, reproductive biology, developmental biology, parasitology, morphology, behaviour, ecology, zoogeography, systematics and evolution. Australian Journal of Zoology is a valuable resource for professional zoologists, research scientists, resource managers, environmental consultants, students and amateurs interested in any aspect of the scientific study of animals. Australian Journal of Zoology is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
