Article Synopsis
- Environmental stressors, like land-use change and fire regimes, may pose a greater threat to wildlife than individual threats alone.
- A study comparing bird feeding guilds in the Darwin region, using data from 1998/2000 and 2019/2020, explored the interaction between these stressors and their effects on bird communities.
- Findings indicated that urbanization increased fire occurrences and that the combined impact of land-use change and altered fire regimes significantly affected fruit-feeding bird species, indirectly shaping urban bird community structures.
Managing saline water discharges from mining operations is a global environmental challenge. Measuring the location and extent of surface efflorescence can indicate solute movement before changes in electrical conductivity (EC) are detected in waterways. We hypothesised through the use of a case study that ground-based reflectance spectrometry and airborne hyperspectral (450-2500 nm) analysis of surface efflorescence could be a rapid method for monitoring large regions of the surrounding environment, including downstream of remote mines.
