Description

Restoring a resilient mallee woodland by translating ecology into action. The conservation industry must deliver landscape-scale, cost-effective restoration, that is resilient to disturbances. This project aims to examine how best to restore function and resilience to 1 million ha of degraded Eucalyptus mallee woodland: critical habitat for many threatened species. This project expects to improve our understanding of the complex interactions between fire, grazing and climate in this system, and the synergistic roles of plants and animals. It is anticipated this project will enhance the capacity of land managers to effectively restore functional mallee woodland, and more broadly, provide significant benefits to the conservation industry regarding the restoration of arid landscapes in an altered climate future..
