“…These forests also grew mostly on high‐fertility soils derived from Devonian intrusive bedrock. This positive relationship between soil nutrients and foliage nutrients has been reported elsewhere (Lambert and Turner 1983).…”

“…This pattern is consistent with empirical work in the study area (Austin 1978, Fanning and Mills 1989, Austin et al 1990 b , 1996). Lambert and Turner (1983) showed a close relationship between eucalypt species composition and soil nutrient status, whereas Keith and Sanders (1990) explained the vegetation in terms of soil moisture and soil fertility. Both studies were undertaken in the Eden region.…”

A forest simulation model (called EDEN) of eucalypt dynamics in southeastern Australia is presented to predict habitat quality for arboreal marsupials. The model is presented as a tool for testing alternative hypotheses of forest management in the study area. EDEN uses a forest gap simulation (JABOWA/FORET type) model as a pattern generator of habitat in different landscape positions and under different harvesting regimes and predicts the habitat quality of this habitat for arboreal marsupials. Application of the model is illustrated by simulating four environmental scenarios (gullies and ridges, at low and at high soil nutrient levels) and three harvesting regimes for each environmental scenario (no harvesting, low‐intensity harvesting, and high‐intensity harvesting). The changes in tree species composition and diversity and the changes in habitat quality for the arboreal marsupials are presented for the 12 scenarios. The predicted vegetation composition is different in the different environmental scenarios and agrees with empirical studies, suggesting that EDEN is a useful pattern generator in the study area. The simulation results suggest that there may be a harvesting level for which the habitat quality is not significatively reduced, but this will depend on the landscape position. The decline in habitat quality with increasing harvesting is stronger on ridges than in gullies.

“…This may be because the majority of plantation eucalypts such as E. nitens and E. globulus belong to the Symphyomyrtus subgenus (Beadle and Turnbull, 1992), which are generally found on more fertile soils than the Monocalyptus subgenus (Noble, 1989), to which E. pilularis belongs. Concentrations of many foliar nutrients have been correlated with concentrations in the soil, including N and P (Lambert and Turner, 1983). Mean foliar N and P in the uppermost crown position of all treatments across all measurements were 1.38 and 0.08% oven dry weight for E. pilularis.…”

“…The selection attempted to maximize the chances of detecting effects of plant species on soil mite communities. Differences in the foliar content of calcium between these subgenera may contribute to differences in soil chemistry associated with leaf fall (Lambert & Turner 1983). Eucalyptus pilularis and Eucalyptus propinqua are from different subgenera, the Monocalyptus and Symphyomyrtus, respectively (Boland et al 1984), and differences in arboreal insect faunas between these two subgenera have been demonstrated (Burden & Chilvers 1974).…”

Erwin's method for estimating total global species richness assumes some host-specificity among the canopy arthropods. This study examined possible host habitat specialization in two major groups of soil arthropods, the oribatid and mesostigmatid mites, by sampling beneath three tree species: Eucalyptus pilularis Smith, Eucalyptus propinqua Deane and Maiden and Allocasuarina torulosa (Aiton) L. Johnson. The sample sites were in the Lansdowne State Forest, New South Wales, Australia and the three tree species were selected on the basis of their known differential effects on soil. Sampling was conducted over three seasons, and 79 oribatid and 34 mesostigmatid species were identified from 25 196 and 3634 individuals, respectively. Tree species had little effect on mite species composition with only three oribatid species and no mesostigmatid species identified as host-habitat specialists using a niche breadth measure. Of mite species found under E. pilularis, E. propinqua and A. torulosa trees, 2%, 1% and 0% were defined as host-habitat specialists, respectively. In contrast, tree species had significant and consistent effects on mite community structure, which differed in relative abundance of the oribatid species, their size class distributions and species rankings. In the mesostigmatid communities, there was a difference in the ranking of the mite species among tree species. Although it was demonstrated that tree species have an impact on the soil environment, the differences between tree species were insufficient to change species composition. The low degree of host-habitat specialization suggested that other factors were more important for determining mite species composition at a site, and soil mite host-habitat specialization may not make a large contribution to estimates of total global species richness using methods such as those proposed by Erwin (1982).
