Linkage Projects - Grant ID: LP0668029

Funded Activity Summary

Managing tree densities in western New South Wales: development of a process-based model to predict woodland dynamics. This project will enhance woodland management in inland NSW by: (1) advancing our understanding of factors controlling woodland dynamics and (2) refining predictions of the effects of landuse scenarios on long-term vegetation dynamics. Outcomes will assist policy development and on-ground decision making by natural resource managers. Results will be used by managers of biodiversity, salinity, erosion, tree clearing, silviculture, rehabilitation and protected areas. Our findings will reduce conflicting perceptions about past and future vegetation changes in regional areas, thereby advancing uptake of sustainability plans to ensure long-term social, economic and environmental benefits for an environmentally sustainable Australia.
