The mountains of Tasmania possess an unusual alpine vegetation, largely dominated by floriferous or coniferous shrubs, and a flora with strong affinities to those of the other southern lands. There is global interest in Tasmania's spectacular biological features, as confirmed by David Attenborough's inclusion of some of its plants in a recent documentary, but no such guide for lay readers has been previously available. Bright Green and Gold offers a concise summary of the natural history of Tasmania's alpine environment, which continues to attract huge numbers of ecotourists and contains some of the most notable scenery in Australia. It celebrates this region in three ways: it provides a minimally technical account of contemporary knowledge of the ecology and plant geography of the vegetation and flora of the mountains, focusing in particular on the areas in which tree growth is absent; it provides a guide to the major plant communities of the vegetation type; and it serves as an aid to the identification of the more than 400 vascular plant species that occur in the alpine zone. Jamie Kirkpatrick joined with Georgina Davis, who has provided high-quality line drawings, and the late Peter Dombrovskis, whose 24 sumptuous photographs are a testament to his art and to the immense natural beauty of the region.

The comparative ecology of mainland Australia and Tasmania alpine vegetation J.B. Kirkpatrick Department of Geography and Environmental Sttldies University of Tasmania GPO Box 252C Hobart TAS 7001 Our knowledge of pattern and process in the cl5OO km' of alpine and treeless sub-alpine vegetation in Australia is beaer than that of any other major . Austnlian vegetation type. We have quadrat data from almost every mountain (McVean 1969; McDougall 1982; Waisll et al. 1986: Kirkpitrick 19RGa.b). and the short to medium term dynamics of the major plant communities are moderarely well-known (e.g. Carr and Turner 1959; Wimbusll and Costin 1979: Kirkpatrick and Dickinson 1984: Kirkpatrick and Gibson 1984: Williams and Ashton 1987: Leigh eral. 1987). The relative recency of alpine research in Tasmania has meant that reviews of the alpine vegetation of Austnlia as a whole have been almost totally based on work carried out in the mainland mountains (e.g. Costin 1981). A study of the phytogeography of Austnlian alpine floras (Kirkpatrick 1982) indicated that Tasmania contained more florisric variation than the mainland. In (his paper the earlier analysis is extended to include more mountains. using Tasmanian and mainland quadrat data to form a nationwide classification of alpine vegetation and to discuss the nature and putative causes of the differences in pattern and process between the treeless vegetation of the high country of the two islands.

Introduction Almost all palaeoecological and paleoenvironmental research ultimately depends on an understanding of contemporary forms relationships and processes. Interpretations of direct and indirect evidence of the environment, vegetation and flora of the past are best consistent with our knowledge of ecological, climatological, geomorphological and evolutionary processes that can be observed in the present, not least because these processes provide the major means of testing hypotheses about the past. In this paper I undertake a numerical analysis of the macroenvironmental determinants of variation in the floristics, structure and dominance of Tasmania alpine and treeless subalpine vegetation, and use these results and other contemporary data to test hypotheses on the Quaternary history of the Tasmania alpine flora and vegetation.

Finalist Scholarly Reference section - The Australian Awards for Excellence in Educational Publishing 2001 Around Australia’s highest mountain lies a rare ecosystem, an alpine area of outstanding beauty and diversity, strikingly different from other alpine ecosystems of the world but with common features. Kosciuszko Alpine Flora describes and illustrates the area’s 212 flowering plants and ferns, of which 21 are endemic. It discusses the geological and human history of the area, the life-forms and habitats of the plants, and explores the various plant communities and their environmental relationships. The book contains identification keys, detailed descriptions, and distribution and habitat notes for each species. Superb colour photographs show details of flowers, fruit, foliage, and ecology.
