Biogeographic Patterns of Three Sub-Alpine Eucalypts in South-East Australia with Special Reference to Eucalyptus pauciflora Sieb. Ex Spreng.

Abstract

Using BIOCLIM, climatic 'envelopes' of the extant geographic distribution of three sub-alpine trees in south-east Australia (Eucalyptus pauciflora Sieb. ex. Spreng., E. dives Schau. and E. daliympleana Maiden) were drived to assess the degree to which their envelopes are discrete and which bioclimatic indices effect this, and whether each species occupies its predicted potential range. The potential range of each species during the last glacial
