Program 6 Technical and Research Reports

document Project 2.6.1 JCU Blair, D. (2007) The influence of nutrients and temperature on the global distribution of algal blooms.
Literature Review by James Cook University researchers, June 2007. Algal blooms are defined as increased abundance, biomass, or population growth. This review reveals knowledge gaps regarding bloom initiation and nutrient preferences, and is divided into four sections. Section A investigates nutrient effects and challenges the paradigm of macroalgal growth limitation by nitrogen in temperature, but phosphate in tropical regions. Sections B and C investigate global distributions of algal blooms. Section D focuses on a new microalga for the Great Barrier Reef. [pdf 574.9 kb]

document Project 2.6.2 CSIRO Poon et al. (2007) Assessing the research needs for the management of invasive species in the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the Wet Tropics
This report by CSIRO and James Cook University researchers is a synthesis of past and current research and management of invasive species in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems of the Wet Tropics bioregion, North Queensland. Its intention is to identify knowledge gaps and critical research needs and thus recommend future opportunities for investment in research and management of invasive species in the Wet Tropics.
