Secondary salinity caused by rising saline groundwater due to the clearing of land for agriculture has caused serious loss of productive land in Western Australia. In 1989, the Australian Bureau of Statistics conducted a survey of farmers which reported that 443 441 ha or 2.83 percent of the 15.7 million ha of cleared land in south-western Australia was saline. A further survey in 1994 showed t...

The advances in computing and information storage have provided vast amounts of data. The challenge has been to extract knowledge from this raw data; this has lead to new methods and techniques such as data mining that can bridge the knowledge gap. This research aimed to assess these new data mining techniques and apply them to a soil science database to establish if meaningful relationships ca...

Abiotic factors are fundamental drivers of the dynamics of wild marine fish populations. Identifying and quantifying their influence on species targeted by the fishing industry is difficult and very important for managing fisheries in a changing climate. Using multiple regression, we investigated the influence of both temperature and rainfall on the variability of recruitment of a tropical spec...
