Funded Activity Summary

Does Ecological Restoration Work? Invertebrate Diversity And Fundamental Ecological Processes In Restored Remnants Of Agricultural Landscapes. The restoration of native vegetation is critical to ensuring the success of long-term biodiversity conservation in Australia. Despite massive effort and expenditure on revegetation in damaged ecosystems, little is known of the effectiveness of different approaches. This project assesses the success of current practices of native vegetation restoration in agricultural landscapes using insects and their ecological roles as indicators of the sustainability of restoration efforts. By describing the extent to which fundamental ecological processes have returned to restored areas this project will generate assessment techniques and data identifying priorities for future restoration efforts.
