This thesis explores issues relating to the application of physiological-process models (???process models???) of forest growth to mixed species, mixed age forests, in particular the coastal blackbutt forests of New South Wales. Using a dataset provided by State Forests of New South Wales (Carter 1994 unpubl.) a numeric description of the forest was developed and stand-level parameters of interest were derived, in particular the plot by plot stemwood volume growth from 1975 to 1999. The amounts of harvested volume, volume that died and volume that grew into the measurement population were id

Abstract:
In recent decades, concern about the condition of the world’s coastal environments has increased substantially. Disturbances to natural environments have been coupled with social and economic problems in coastal areas to create a complex array of environmental issues. These issues are created in part because such a large number of people presently live in urban centres along the coast. Among the plethora of human uses of coastal areas, recreation and tourism are two of the most rapidly-growing activities in post—industrial societies.

Abstract:
Statistically significant correlations between anthropometric land environmental variables havel I been demonstrated in samples of Holocene Aboriginal crania and mandibles from the east coast of Australia. In testing for variation that may be attributed to climatic adaptation, the model of decreased nasal breadth in colder climates is not supported, but increased cranial breadth is included in principal component scores which correlate with increased latitude and decreased temperatures. Thus the model of increased brachycephalization as a response to decreased temperature is not refuted by the

As a result, there has been an increase in the number of rehabilitation programs that introduce SWH into rivers globally, and in Australia. However, most rehabi

The principle objective of this study was to examine the potential impact of the Cat, Fox and dog on native species, in particular those that are prey of these predators, in native forests that are principally managed for the production of timber in south-east NSW.
