RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.

Plant species diversity of the Lake Dora Islands, Tasmania

Papers & Reports

Summary

The relationship between the areas and plant species number of sixteen small
islands in a Tasmanian subalpine lake is described. The nature of the island area
species diversity curve seems to be strongly affected by island area rather than
habitat heterogeneity, and by differences in species diversity in the vegetation zones found on the island.
