Table 3. Why there is special concern over threats to marine biodiversity.
"... In PAGE 15: ... The movement of the sea has a physical power and certainty apparently unaffected by man, but this conceals a more vulnerable underwater biodiversity. There are increased pressures on marine biodiversity, including over-fishing and over-harvesting, introductions of exotic (or alien) species (Box 6), and widespread pollution ( Table3 ). Rapport and Whitford (1999) described examples of estuarine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems that did not recover once human impacts were reduced, and this is likely to apply similarly to some marine ecosystems.... ..."

Both the correlations ( Table3 ) and the regression models (Table 4) indi- cate that increasing area had a significant positive effect on total species richness (Fig. 2), whereas dis- turbance reduced richness.... In PAGE 6: ... The 10 heterogene- ous patches were not significantly richer in species than were homogeneous patches (Table 5). Rich- ness of heterogeneous patches was attributable primarily to the number of cultivars, which cor- related positively with total species richness, rich- ness of aliens, and richness of trees ( Table3 ). The number of cultivars also entered into every regres- sion model predicting richness on heterogeneous stands (Table 4) and was the only variable in the models predicting the numbers of natives and 0.... In PAGE 8: ... Alien herb richness was greatest on mown stands, where alien herbs were as abundant as natives (Table 2). Area correlated with richness of all groups except trees ( Table3 ), but only ap- peared in the regression model predicting herb rich- ness (Table 4). The only species groups negatively correlated with disturbance were shrubs and herbs.... In PAGE 9: ... Most of this effect is likely to be attributable to mowing, since mown and unmown stands differ significantly in structure (Table 1) and richness (Table 6). How- ever, the negative correlations between disturbance and several species richness values on mown and unmown stands respectively ( Table3 ) is likely to be the result of trampling alone. Natives, particularly shrubs and herbs, seem most susceptible to the ef- fects of trampling and mowing.... ..."

In PAGE 5: ... Trees aver- aged 20 species per stand, with a maximum stand richness of 31 species. Richness of trees was cor- related only with the number of cultivars (Table 3) and was not well-predicted by any regression model including the seven independent variables consi- dered ( Table4 ). Shrubs had the lowest stand rich- ness, averaging nine species per stand.... In PAGE 6: ... Rich- ness of heterogeneous patches was attributable primarily to the number of cultivars, which cor- related positively with total species richness, rich- ness of aliens, and richness of trees (Table 3). The number of cultivars also entered into every regres- sion model predicting richness on heterogeneous stands ( Table4 ) and was the only variable in the models predicting the numbers of natives and 0.58782 0.... In PAGE 6: ... Area appeared only in models predicting to- tal species richness, shrubs, and herbs. Disturbance reduced total richness ( Table4 ), and cultivation and disturbance together best predicted tree rich- ness (Table 4).

"... In PAGE 7: ...5 The mandated waiting period for post-enactment immigrants, however, remained on the books. Table1 presents a more detailed summary of the restrictions that the welfare reform legislation (as subsequently amended) now imposes on immigrant welfare use. Since most of the restrictions on the pre-enactment immigrants were never enforced, and since only a relatively small fraction of the immigrant population in the United States arrived after 1996, it would seem that PRWORA could not have had a large impact on welfare participation rates in the immigrant population....

"... In PAGE 23: ... 20 contributes adversely to the deprivation and exclusion of Indigenous Australians (Hunter and Taylor, 2002). Table1 summarises some of the attitudinal effects of unemployment through a comparison with those held by employed Australians. It is clear that there are significant variations in attitudes and beliefs according to labour force status, with the unemployed showing less contentment, poorer health, a greater sense of disillusionment with economic and social trends and a far more pessimistic assessment of labour market prospects.... ..."
