Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Remnant Santalum spicatum populations in the Pallinup River catchment were small, 1–70 trees, and highly fragmented.
- Observation The risk of further population decline due to salinity is small.
- Observation Remnant trees were generally growing on well drained sandy soils about 9 m above their drainage line.
- Observation Santalum spicatum parasitised 68 species from a wide range of genera and families.
- Observation The suite of host species S. spicatum exploited varied within and between river catchments.
- Observation Thirty species, including most monocots and Myrtaceae, were not successfully parasitised by S. spicatum.
- Observation Sandalwood plantations with 10–40 host species were productive in terms of sandalwood growth.
- Observation The scale of the developing sandalwood plantation industry is likely to be small.
- Observation The sandalwood industry alone is unlikely to address the salinity crisis through broadscale recharge management.
- Intervention effect Biodiverse host plantations may improve the prospects for biodiversity and rivers in salinising landscapes.
