Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important staple crop that feeds more than one half of the world's
population and is the model system for monocotyledonous plants. However, rice is very …

In tropical Australia, intensive studies of river suspended sediment (SS) and nutrient
dynamics have been restricted to streams on the north-east coast between the Fitzroy and …

Riparian structure and function were considered from a longitudinal perspective in order to
identify multiscale couplings with adjacent ecosystems and to identify research needs. 2. We …

Riparian buffer zones (RBZ) improve water quality in different ways depending upon the
pathway of delivery of water to the RBZ. Groundwater passing through the RBZ may be …

The effects of three fire regimes—(1) burning early in the dry season (June),(2) burning late
in the dry season (September) and (3) not burning (protected from wildfires)—on the water …

Fluvial processes of erosion, sediment transport and deposition determine the changing
form and sedimentary structure of naturally adjusting riparian zones. Riparian sediment …

Tropical floodplains are highly productive because of seasonal replenishment of water and
nutrients, which substantially boost primary productivity. This study examined how the …

Water buffalo were introduced into northern Australia from South-east Asia between 1826
and 1866. They became feral when early British settlements were abandoned. From these …

Globally, tropical floodplains are highly productive ecosystems. This is largely because of
predictable seasonal rains providing replenishing floodwaters that stimulate nutrient …

Freshwater mussels, Velesunio angasi, along Magela Creek in Australia's Northern Territory
were examined to study radionuclide activities in mussel flesh and to investigate whether the …
