I'm glad I stalk Hesp's talk page. Very interesting stuff - I never got around to actually figuring out what mallee is.

Here in Western Australia, we cleared vast tracts of mallee woodland to plant wheat. The land was semi-arid and infertile, so the wheat farms were marginally profitable at best. And it turned out that those deep-rooted mallees were keeping a saline water table at bay. With the mallees gone, the water table rose, the soil turned saline, and the whole ecosystem was fucked. Now it turns out that some of those mallee species produce so much high quality Eucalyptus oil that farming mallees pays better than farming wheat ever did. They require no care. The tolerate grazing well. They grow well on marginally saline land. Because they are lignotuberous you can harvest them repeatedly without having to replant. They sequester carbon. Processing yields oil, electricity, and a charcoal by-product that improves wheat production when added to the soil(!). They support far more biodiversity than wheat fields. And best of all, little by little they beat the salinity back.
Somehow, I think you'll be heading a lot more about mallees in future.

Hi, do you know any way to include the eurosid or euasterid clade (I vs II) in a taxobox?
Because that's where all the trouble started. I can - and I assume anyone with a moderate though not professional interest in plants can - tell apart asterids and rosids easily enough; one look at the flowers (petals fused vs unfused) is usually enough. What is much more interesting is the subclade between rosids/asterids and the orders. Because I am trying in vain to get a hold on since 5 years or so (not that I put very much effort in it tho ;-) ) and I presume I'm not the only one who finds this bit hardest to fathom.
So, it would be highly useful if we could include this too, don't you think? What would you propose? Dysmorodrepanis ( talk) 11:47, 23 May 2009 (UTC) reply
