The project will integrate a complex set of functions into one landscape restoration design which will benefit production and conservation objectives. These functions are improved use of surface runoff using native vegetation to reduce velocities and increase infiltration, improved soil and catchment condition through decreased erosion, lowering wind speeds which desiccate landscape and erode valuable topsoil, providing a system of corridors for biodiversity, and sequestering carbon in woody biomass. IVB’s configuration captures the beneficial structural and functional attributes of vegetation while minimising competitive interactions. This will increase the resilience and productivity of Australian farming landscapes in a changing climate.

该项目将把一系列复杂的功能整合到一个景观恢复设计中，这将有利于生产和保护目标。这些功能是利用原生植被来改善地表径流的利用，以降低速度并增加渗透，通过减少侵蚀来改善土壤和集水条件，降低使景观干燥和侵蚀宝贵表土的风速，为生物多样性提供走廊系统，以及在木质生物质中封存碳。 IVB 的配置捕捉了植被有益的结构和功能属性，同时最大限度地减少了竞争性相互作用。这将提高澳大利亚农业景观在气候变化下的恢复力和生产力。
