Vegetation patterns, environmental correlates and vegetation change in a Puffinus tenuirostris breeding colony at Cape Queen Elizabeth, Tasmania.
Variation in the vegetation in and adjacent to a Puffinus tenuirostris breeding colony at Cape Queen Elizabeth, Bruny Island, Tasmania is related much more closely to burrow density, bare ground and soil dryness than to either the phosphorus or organic content of the soils. Between 1977 and 1992, bu...
