The higher salinity areas near the lower end of the estuary were most important for Eastern King Prawn, and marsh systems in the lower estuary were only important for the species where there was good connectivity with oceanic water. Areas along the estuary were important for juvenile School Prawn, especially marsh habitats, and relative abundance tended to increase with increasing distance along the estuary. Designation of effective juvenile habitat for School Prawn may have been affected by high fishing mortality in fished areas, but this requires further investigation. Salinity, depth, turbidity and distance along the estuary were all important indicators of prawn distribution. The implications of these patterns for current and future habitat rehabilitation in temperate Australia are discussed.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:44:32 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29515 A. pycnantha was grown under greenhouse condition in six different soils collected from abandoned copper mine at Kapunda in South Australia. Among the six soil samples, soil-1 with the highest copper concentration produced 2.05 mmol g⁻¹ tissue of proline. Proline expression was prominent in more saline soils (1, 5 and 6) having electrical conductivity (EC) 1184, 1364 and 1256 μS, respectively. Chlorophyll a, b and carotenoid levels in plants showed a gradually decreasing trend in all the soils as experiment progressed. The plants grown on soil sample-1, containing 4083 ± 103 mg kg⁻¹ of copper resulted in 18 ± 2 mg kg⁻¹ accumulation in its leaf. The calcium accumulation was significant up to 11648 ± 1209 mg kg⁻¹ in leaf. Although pore water samples showed higher Cu concentration in soils, an increased mobility of arsenic and lead was observed in all the soil samples. Our experiment points out the need for proper monitoring of revegetation processes to avoid revegetation and reclamation failure.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:32:31 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4727 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:50 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35377 Mon 22 Jul 2019 13:12:19 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33740 Mon 17 Dec 2018 08:16:03 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41831 -1 and 400 mg kg^-1), F1 and F2 transformed to F4 and F5. Meanwhile, soil moisture had a significant influence on soil ALP activity. Soil ALP activity under 110% WHC was smaller than the activity of soil ALP under 35% WHC. The variation partitioning analysis (VPA) showed that soil moisture contributed 63.19% for this effect on soil ALP activity and was identified as the dominant factor. The value of ED 10 indicated that the As toxicity under 35% WHC was greater than that under 110% WHC. This could be due to that the excessive moisture content depressed soil ALP activity. Therefore, it is important to consider soil moisture content while assessing the As toxicity to soil ALP.]]> Fri 26 Aug 2022 11:21:16 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43401 Fri 16 Sep 2022 09:58:33 AEST ]]>
