Molecular ecological analysis of vegetation function in fragmented Australian biomes

The aims of this project were to quantify the strength and scale of reproductive interactions among native plant populations occupying remnant vegetation patches in fragmented cropping landscapes in NSW and WA, assess their demographic significance in terms of progeny fitness and population viability and from this develop models of inter-patch interactions in relation to landscape configuration.

Biodiversity values and functional ecology of regrowth vegetation in modified landscapes

“At a continental scale, remnant vegetation in the Australian rangelands can be described as intact, except towards the east where intensive land clearing has occurred prior to cessation of broadscale land clearing at the end of 2006. However, ongoing clearing of native vegetation for the purposes of harvesting fodder is a legitimate management approach for large areas of south-west Queensland, and is regulated under the Vegetation Management Act 1999. This is (more)...

Planning for wildlife conservation in rural landscapes

Native animals are a distinctive part of the heritage of rural Australia. A sustainable environment is one in which the sights and sounds of Australia’s extraordinary wildlife will continue to be present and add to the quality of life for generations to

Land use effects on soil nutrient enrichment: risks for weed invasion

Appendix

This project examined various soil and vegetation properties of remnant eucalypt grassy woodlands under different livestock grazing regimes within agricultural landscapes on the southern tablelands and south west slopes of N.S.W. All woodlands contained…

LANDSCAN: Managing Landscapes - matching soils, climate and enterprises

Acidity, salinity, nutrient deline, erosion have major production and environmental impacts in NSW. An estimated 16-20m hectares in the state are affected to water erosion and 200,000 hectares are affected by salinity.

Exploring future landscapes: a conceptual framework for planned change

This report details a conceptual framework that can help identify the underlying landscape-scale processes that drive natural-resource condition and the fundamental principles of strategic institutional responses.
