Executive Summary Mining has been, and remains, an integral part of human existence from Stone Age quarries through to the iron coal that fueled industrial revolution, new materials needed support shift renewable energy. mining products are major contributors national economies with value tripling in past two decades. As 2020, global footprint was 57,000 km 2 growing at a faster rate now than any other time history. Much this is operational, but many areas where complete, sites represent...
Substantial evidence supports the hypothesis that morphophysiological dormancy (MPD) is basal kind of seed in angiosperms. However, only physiological (PD) reported seeds ANA-grade genus Nymphaea. The primary aim this study was to determine six species Nymphaea from wet-dry tropics Australia.The effects temperature, light and germination stimulants on were tested multiple collections N. immutabilis, lukei, macrosperma, ondinea, pubescens violacea. Embryo growth prior hypocotyl emergence...
Mine closure practices have continued to improve over the last few decades; however, across industry rehabilitation outcomes continue fall short of community expectations. While examples successful exist, there are still limited mines closing, relinquishing, and transitioning another land use. Barriers relinquishment such as residual risk, transfer liability, next use options compounded by lack legislated mine policy. Broader policy has evolved significantly decades in Australia, with recent...
