Funded Activity Summary

The impact of high kangaroo populations on regeneration of arid woodland tree species. Remnant arid woodland in south-eastern Australia is threatened by regeneration failure resulting from high grazing pressure from sheep, rabbits and kangaroos. Elimination of sheep grazing, reduction in rabbit populations as a result of RCD and a decision to cull kangaroos has provided an unprecedented opportunity to ascertain the impact of kangaroos on regeneration, in particular the degree to which kangaroos put a selective pressure on seedlings of overstorey species. Research proposed in association with Parks Victoria, will make a major contribution to understanding of the need for active management of remnant woodlands and assist in the preservation of significant communities.
