Rivers and their interdependent human communities form social-ecologically complex systems that reflect basin scale functionally but are often governed by spatially mismatched governance systems. Accounting for this complexity requires flexible adaptive supported legitimacy in decision-making processes. Meaningful community dialogue, information exchange, transparency, scientific rigor essential to process. We examined failings the of Menindee Lakes system, a major Australian wetland system...

Abstract Two experiments were conducted to study the effects of spacing on cured leaf flue‐cured tobacco. One involved different numbers skipped rows and other plant spacings within row. Yields increased as number increased. Also, value per 45.35 kg increased, which may indicate a better quality tobacco produced with wide rows. Alkaloid content was somewhat lower filling decreased In comparing common practice planting four skipping one older method continuous rows, there seemed be little...

Abstract Ten tobacco varieties were subjected during growth to three rates each of N, P and K fertilizer, flue‐cured analyzed for total soluble plant phenols. A small variation phenols occurred among averaged over the fertilizer (5.27–6.04%). There was a 15 22% relative decrease in at intermediate (89.6 kg/ha) high (134.4 N rate, respectively, compared with lowest rate application (44.8 kg/ha). Phosphorus also affected phenol levels similar manner, but lesser extent. significant nitrogen...

Large urban trees have many benefits. However, falling branches pose a serious hazard to both people and infrastructure. In several tree species, aerial roots grow down from the ground. These are capable of thickening support branches, lessening risk failure. Unfortunately, in environments most die before reaching Here, we report new method for encouraging reach ground, developed by second-year botany class at UNSW Sydney. Our tested three experimental treatments on Ficus rubiginosa Desf. ex...

The effect of the root‐knot nematode resistance factor on agronomic characteristics and chemical constituents flue‐cured tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) was studied. Within each four cultivars efforts were made to isolate lines that genetically identical with their respective parental in all attributes except resistance. ‘PD 611’ used as source following recurrent parents: ‘Coker 316,’ 187,’ ‘402,’ ‘Hicks Broadleaf.’ Each cultivar, a susceptible selection, two resistant selections compared...
