In the largest scale orchid translocation known (and the only one translocating into mine rehabilitation), six events have progressively re-located 3,030 mature orchids (1,206 D. tricolor, 1,824 P. petilum) into biodiversity offsets (non-mined: 1,099 D. tricolor, 1,493 P. petilum) and mine rehabilitation (post-mined: 127 D. tricolor, 311 P. petilum), and 300 salvaged tubers into non-mined (20 D. tricolor, 180 P. petilum) and post-mined (10 D. tricolor, 90 P. petilum) lands. Monitoring of orchids for 3–8 years revealed significant relationships between winter rainfall (July for P. petilum, August for D. tricolor) and orchid detection. Both species survived significantly better in non-mined and post-mined land when translocated in soil cores than as salvaged tubers. Diuris tricolor was more detectable overall, with rates 3–8 years post-translocation as high as 53–67% in good years and 16–47% during drought. Prasophyllum petilum was less detectable, returning 4–12% in drought but rising to 52–63% during wetter seasons. Diligent searching prior to flowering doubled detection for D. tricolor and increased it by one third for P. petilum. Two monitoring inspections per season increased detection by up to 12%. After 3–8 years post-translocation, orchids have persisted and are well established. Staged translocation over 8 years with adaptive management to operational procedures and monitoring has increased orchid detectability, and can be applied to future orchid translocations.]]> Wed 29 Mar 2023 11:41:40 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54490 Tue 27 Feb 2024 15:13:08 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55634 Tue 11 Jun 2024 18:44:03 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20283 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:54 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24087 Corymbia maculata. The higher rate of fertilizer addition improved seedling establishment of Mimosaceae and the survival of Myrtaceae species. High nutrient treatments increased weed and grass densities, which may have reduced the nutrient benefit for native species. In conclusion, biosolids and the high rate of fertilizer application ameliorated the nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency of spoil to support growth and survival of reintroduced native species. However, potential benefits were attenuated by competition from accompanying weed growth that could be managed by implementing a control program.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:47 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53949 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:57:36 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38518 Mon 04 Sep 2023 12:00:46 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39663 130) times will be needed to confer host benefits and will be dependent on the stability of this association being maintained in nature.]]> Fri 17 Jun 2022 14:43:03 AEST ]]>
