dc.description.abstractAgricultural management influences the species richness and composition of ground-storey vegetation in Australia and elsewhere. This thesis investigates the influence of grazing management and environmental determinants on the diversity of native ground-storey vegetation on the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales. The predominant land use is livestock grazing in a variegated landscape in which pastures dominated by native ground-storey species are more extensive than sown pastures dominated by exotic ground-storey species. Vascular plants were floristically surveyed in 6 x 5 m plots at 373 sites within a 60 km radius of Armidale from January to April in 2001 and 2002. Sampling was concentrated in commercially grazed paddocks (81 %), remnant vegetation managed for conservation on private land (7%), and public land grazed intermittently or not at all (12%). Management history and environmental variables were recorded at each site. Confounding of management influences was addressed by stratified sampling in relation to grazing, cultivation, fertiliser management and lithology. Over the period of the study, some 321 species and sub-species of vascular plants were recorded, 70% of them native taxa. Seasonal fluctuations in native, exotic and total species richness were determined, with maxima recorded in late spring to autumn, thereby identifying this period as the optimal time for sampling the diversity of native ground-storey vegetation on the Northern Tablelands. ... Information from this study was used to develop a state and transition model for native ground-storey species. Transitions were based upon changes due to agricultural management (grazing, fertiliser application and cultivation). The assemblages of ground-storey species associated with particular agricultural management practices were used to define states for each lithology. The identity and species richness of native ground-storey vegetation in commercially grazed areas, public reserves, and on-farm remnants were determined. The data are useful for determining the importance of these areas in the conservation and management of ground-storey vegetation on the Northern Tablelands. While production areas are floristically less diverse than public reserves and on-farm remnants, they provide an extensive matrix of predominantly native vegetation, which is vital for the long-term conservation of the regional biota.en
