URFA notes, @Hesperian, Casliber, and Gnangarra:

  • Cited to a 1996 source, where does this stand? ... More research is needed before the technique will be ready for commercial use.
  • Cited to 1985, update? ... These concerns aside, B. integrifolia does not appear to be under threat. It has excellent resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi dieback, which poses a major threat to many other Banksia species;[38] and its wide distribution protects against the threat of habitat loss due to land clearing. As a result, it does not appear on the list of threatened flora of Australia under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
  • Cited to 1996, any update? An investigation into the defoliation and premature death of trees on the Yanakie Isthmus in south Victoria reached the tentative conclusion that the absence of fire had created unhealthy surface soil conditions.[36] On the Mornington Peninsula, surveys of an area that had not been burnt since the 1890s found that B. integrifolia densities fell by 77% between 1977 and 2000. A subsequent study found the decline to have been caused by extremely high seedling mortality rates, due to grazing by herbivores and intense competition for soil moisture during summer. Despite acknowledging that "the role of fire in these systems remains unclear", it concluded that "developing fire and/or grazing management regimes will be necessary to conserve the structural integrity of these coastal ecosystems."[37]
  • Check throughout for convert templates: It forms an attractive hardy low-growing plant to 1 metre.

The 1985 McCredie paper is a seminal paper on resistance. It still stands as a valid source. I'll check on the other two and look for more recent literature. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:22, 18 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
OK, ping me when you do, so I can mark Satisfactory at URFA. Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
The 1996 references are all still valid with nothing superseding them. Just sorting out my remote university access ATM - then can scour for anything really new. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:20, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Casliber is this done yet (to mark Satisfactory at URFA/2020). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:23, 19 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I've searched for literature published since FA. Not confident all of the following need to be added to the article, but maybe worth looking at:

I think that pretty well covers it. Choess (talk) 02:48, 2 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oaky @SandyGeorgia: have added and am satisifed. Thx @Choess: they were really cool actually. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:56, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
On my list ! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:34, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Marking "Satisfactory" at URFA/2020. Thanks for adding to the effort there, Choess. Casliber, can this statement be made more precise? "The taxonomy is now largely settled, ... " Something like, "Since X year, the taxonomy has been largely settled ... " No need to get back to me, unwatching, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:13, 5 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

PS, the article now has two "Satisfactory" independent reviews at WP:URFA/2020, so if either of you will add a third, it can be moved off the list. Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:15, 5 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Shouldn't it say "the coast banksia" rather than "coast banksia"? Steelkamp (talk) 15:11, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
