Funded Activity Summary

Innovative enhancement and management of threatened temperate woodlands for improved biodiversity conservation. We will test the broad question: Does woodland management affect woodland biota, and if so, which groups and in what ways? To answer this, we will quantify the effects of major woodland treatments (prescribed fire, timber addition, grazing control) on animals. We will implement a long-term, large-scale 'natural experiment' to provide critical data & analyses on the simultaneous effects of management regimes on woodland biota. A key outcome will be an improved understanding of woodland biota response to management critical for use on grazing properties, reserves, travelling stock routes in rural south-eastern Australia. This will be a major step forward given that temperate woodlands are among Australia's most threatened vegetation types.
