Woodland restoration in the western Australian wheatbelt : A conceptual framework using a state and transition model

摘要: Woodlands dominated by Eucalyptus spp. in temperate southeastern and southwestern Australia have been extensively cleared for agriculture are often badly degraded livestock grazing. This has resulted the loss of biodiversity widespread land degradation. The continuing decline these woodlands become a concern conservation biodiversity, there is growing interest among farmers, managers, researchers developing techniques restoring them. Currently few scientific guidelines exist undertaking woodland restoration programs. We use state transition model to develop hypotheses on strategies salmon gum (Eucalyptus salmonophloia) woodlands. consider that this approach provides suitable framework organizing knowledge identifying areas where further information needed, hence useful starting point program. potential provide tool managers with which they can assess action effort needed undertake agricultural landscapes.
