Variation among plant species in pollutant removal from stormwater in biofiltration systems.
- J. Read, Tricia Wevill, T. Fletcher, A. Deletic

- Water research
- 1 February 2008
Biofiltration systems use vegetation to improve efficiency of pollutant removal from stormwater, but little is known of how plants vary in their capacity to improve biofilter effectiveness. We used a… Expand
Plant biomechanics in an ecological context.
Fundamental plant traits such as support, anchorage, and protection against environmental stress depend substantially on biomechanical design. The costs, subsequent trade-offs, and effects on plant… Expand
Plant Traits that Enhance Pollutant Removal from Stormwater in Biofiltration Systems
- J. Read, T. Fletcher, Tricia Wevill, A. Deletic

- 3 November 2009
Plants species have been shown to improve the performance of stormwater biofiltration systems, particularly in removal of N and P. Recent research has shown that plants vary in their contribution to… Expand

Reproductive traits of tropical rain-forest trees in New Caledonia
- R. Carpenter, J. Read, T. Jaffré
- Biology
- 1 July 2003
Reproductive traits of 123 species of rain-forest tree from ultramafic regions of New Caledonia were assessed, mainly from herbarium specimens. Most species had extremely small, simple, pale-coloured… Expand
Characterizing sclerophylly: the mechanical properties of a diverse range of leaf types
Summary
• Although sclerophylly is defined by textural properties, its adaptive significance has been debated without a strong base of mechanical data. We measured a wide range of mechanical… Expand
Responses of some Southern Hemisphere tree species to a prolonged dark period and their implications for high-latitude Cretaceous and Tertiary floras
- J. Read, J. Francis
- Biology
- 1 December 1992
Abstract Seedlings of some Southern Hemisphere tree species were grown under experimental conditions to investigate their tolerance of long periods of darkness. The taxa used have either a fossil… Expand

Abstract• Environmental determinants of wood properties variation were examined in Eucalyptus globulus, a globally important hardwood plantation species, in southern Tasmania, Australia.• Radial… Expand
Quantitative assessment of stand condition and its relationship to physiological stress in stands of Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Myrtaceae)
- S. Cunningham, J. Read, P. J. Baker, R. Nally
- Biology
- 6 December 2007
River regulation has led to a decline in the condition of Australia’s dominant riverine tree species, Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., in the Murray–Darling Basin. A quantitative method of assessing… Expand
The ecology and biogeography of Nothofagus forests
- T. T. Veblen, R. S. Hill, J. Read
- Biology
