The pattern of plant species distribution, the richness of species composition, the distribution of resources among species and the manner of change in these parameters across landscapes are examined in three habitats on North Stradbroke Island. The closed-heath vegetation of a freshwater swamp, the grassland and low closed-forest of a frontal low dune sequence and the closed sclerophyllous forests of inland high dunes are studied by a variety of statistical techniques, including a new method for determining the degree and scale of microcommunity pattern. Of the three vege- tation types, the floristic diversity and complexity of spatial patterning within a small area is highest in the freshwater swamp vegetation. Not only is the scale of spatial variation smallest in this habitat, but the scale of patterning and co-association also becomes smaller as one proceeds into the swamp. The complexity of the vegetation is enhanced by a remarkably high species richness, a very low concentration of dominance and a high degree of intermingling of species. The floristic diversity and complexity of spatial patterning within such a small area of vegetation bears comparison with that of complex tropical rain-forest. The swamp vegetation appears to have undergone a high degree of speciation; at the same time, intermixture of species and the small scale of patterning have served as a means of minimizing intraspecific competition. If, like the tropical rain-forest, the ecosystem has evolved characteristics of rigid stability the system is likely to recover only slowly from major perturbation.

Abstract 5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) can be obtained from 6d SCFTs by circle compactification and mass deformation. Successive decoupling of hypermultiplet matter and RG-flow generates a decoupling tree of descendant 5d SCFTs. In this paper we determine the magnetic quivers and Hasse diagrams, that encode the Higgs branches of 5d SCFTs, for entire decoupling trees. Central to this undertaking is the approach in [1], which, starting from the generalized toric polygons (GTPs) dual to 5-brane webs/tropical curves, provides a systematic and succinct derivation of magnetic quivers and their Hasse diagrams. The decoupling in the GTP description is straightforward, and generalizes the standard flop transitions of curves in toric polygons. We apply this approach to a large class of 5d KK-theories, and compute the Higgs branches for their descendants. In particular we determine the decoupling tree for all rank 2 5d SCFTs. For each tree, we also identify the flavor symmetry algebras from the magnetic quivers, including non-simply-laced flavor symmetries.
