Biodiversity

Wetland Habitats is a practical and easy to use manual for wetland restoration and conservation of diverse animal species.

Ecosystem Response Modelling in the Murray-Darling Basin provides an overview of the status of science in support of water management in Australia's largest and most economically important river catchment, and brings together the leading ecologists working in the rivers and wetlands of the Basin.

Australia's unique biodiversity is under threat from a rapidly changing climate.

With knowledge from our deserts, Australians can reshape the human story.

In Contested Country, leading researchers in planning, geography, environmental studies and public policy critically review Australia's environmental management under the auspices of the Natural Heritage Trust over the past decade, and identify the challenges that must be met in the national quest for sustainability.

The Channel Country is of special interest because its extreme aridity is disrupted unpredictably by summer monsoonal rains, causing massive flooding, and is followed by prodigious growth of plants and reproduction of animals, before returning to daunting conditions of drought.

The Australian Capital Territory is a treasure trove for naturalists, despite being without a coastline, without rainforest or without deserts.

This book brings together extensive scientific learning on what makes a good farm for biodiversity.

This book summarises the main discoveries, management insights and policy initiatives in the science, management and policy arenas associated with temperate woodlands in Australia.

This book encapsulates the extensive knowledge developed by CSIRO's National Rangelands Program on how rangeland landscapes function and the implications for management.

Floodplain wetlands of the Murray-Darling Basin provide critical habitat for numerous species of flora and fauna, yet the ecology of these wetlands is threatened by a range of environmental issues.

Reef and Rainforest is a photographic portrayal of marine and terrestrial life in one of the world's most biodiverse regions – the tropics of north-eastern Australia, together with the South Pacific nations of Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.

For the first time in a single volume, this book brings together more than 150 of the best walks, tracks or trails in Victoria, which can be walked, cycled or driven by the moderately fit individual.

Ecological engineering is about manipulating farm habitats, making them less favourable for pests and more attractive to beneficial insects.

The accurate identification of fish 'ear-bones', known as otoliths, is essential to determine the fish prey of marine and terrestrial predators.

This new textbook fills an important niche by offering a lively overview of the principles of ecology for a broad range of university-level science and biology courses.

Forest Pattern and Ecological Process is a major synthesis of 25 years of intensive research about the montane ash forests of Victoria, which support the world's tallest flowering plants and several of Australia's most high profile threatened and/or endangered species.

This engaging volume explores the management of fire in one of the world's most flammable landscapes: Australia's tropical savannas, where on average 18% of the landscape is burned annually.

Wetland planting can bring back biodiversity, reduce the impact of drought and flood, improve water quality and conserve beauty in a mismanaged landscape.

Australia's little known woodlands once covered huge areas of the eastern side of our continent.

The conservation of Earth's forest ecosystems is one of the great environmental challenges facing humanity in the 21st century.

Many landowners are interested in the native animals that live on their farms or once occurred there.

Nearly every form of life has the capacity to multiply and increase at a really astonishing rate.

Australian Saltmarsh Ecology presents the first comprehensive review of the ecology and management of Australian saltmarshes.

Australia’s experience in community-based environmental repair is unique in the world, with no shortage of analysis by bureaucrats, academics and environmentalists.

With almost half a million people and more than six times as many sheep, Tasmania has a rich history of wool production.

Practical Conservation Biology covers the complete array of topics that are central to conservation biology and natural resource management, thus providing the essential framework for under-graduate and post-graduate courses in these subject areas.

This completely updated edition gives the latest listings on conservation status for all known Australian amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

The conservation of Earth's forest ecosystems is one of the great environmental challenges facing humanity in the 21st century.

More than 300 species of Australian native animals — mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians — use tree hollows, but there has never been a complete inventory of them.

Many landowners are interested in the native animals that live on their farms or once occurred there.
