Banksia telmatiaea: Difference between revisions

''B.&nbsp;telmatiaea'' is a fairly secure species, as most populations are of more than 100 plants, and 26% of known plants are in conservation reserves. Its proximity to [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]] suggests that land clearing for urban development could pose a threat, and in 1988 ''[[The Banksia Atlas]]'' recommended that "the species should continue to be monitored since land clearing could change the situation greatly, particularly amongst its northern populations." It is also known to be susceptible to dieback caused by the [[introduced species|introduced]] plant [[pathogen]] ''[[Phytophthora cinnamomi]]'', a soil-borne [[water mould]] that causes root rot;<ref name="DEH">{{cite web |url = http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive/publications/p-cinnamomi/pubs/appendix4.pdf |title = Part 2, Appendix 4: The responses of native Australian plant species to ''Phytophthora cinnamomi'' |work = Management of Phytophthora cinnamomi for Biodiversity Conservation in Australia |publisher = [[Department of the Environment and Heritage]], Australian Government |year = 2006 |accessdate = 30 April 2007 |format = PDF |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070912213100/http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive/publications/p-cinnamomi/pubs/appendix4.pdf |archivedate = 12 September 2007 |deadurlurl-status = yesdead }}</ref> in fact it is so reliably susceptible that it is used as an indicator species for the presence of the disease.<ref name="Indicator">{{cite web |title = Common Indicator Species for the Presence of Disease caused by ''Phytophthora cinnamomi'' |publisher = [[Department of Environment and Conservation (Western Australia)|Department of Environment and Conservation]] |url = http://www.naturebase.net/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_details/gid,312/Itemid,548/ |accessdate = 1 May 2007 |deadurlurl-status = yesdead |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927001800/http://www.naturebase.net/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_details/gid,312/Itemid,548/ |archivedate = 27 September 2007 |df = dmy-all }}</ref> An assessment of the potential impact of [[climate change]] on this species found that severe change is likely to lead to [[extinction]]; but under less severe change scenarios the distribution may actually grow, depending on how effectively it can migrate into newly habitable areas.<ref name="Fitzpatrick 2008">{{cite journal |last1 = Fitzpatrick |first1 = Matthew C. |last2 = Gove |first2 = Aaron D. |last3 = Sanders |first3 = Nathan J. |last4 = Dunn |first4 = Robert R. |year = 2008 |title = Climate change, plant migration, and range collapse in a global biodiversity hotspot: the ''Banksia'' (Proteaceae) of Western Australia |journal = Global Change Biology |volume = 14 |issue = 6 |pages = 1–16 |doi = 10.1111/j.1365-2486.2008.01559.x }}</ref>
