Management of rehabilitated bauxite mines to accelerate the return of vertebrate fauna.

该项目将研究采伐和焚烧矿场恢复对陆地哺乳动物和爬行动物丰度的影响。这一具有国家意义的项目将为西澳大利亚州的资源管理人员提供衡量林业间伐和燃烧(用于木材生产和饮用水收集)对脊椎动物影响的措施，并将提供管理工具，以保护生产性森林环境中的生物多样性。预期的结果是加快脊椎动物回归矿区的程序，测量间伐和焚烧做法对树木健康的影响，以及将对陆地脊椎动物的影响降至最低的森林间伐试验程序(12000下温宫集水区)。

This project will examine the effect of thinning and burning mine-site rehabilitation on the abundance of terrestrial mammals and reptiles. This nationally significant project will provide Resource Managers in Western Australia with measures of impacts of forestry thinning and burning (for timber production and drinking water catchment) on vertebrates, and will provide management tools to conserve biodiversity within productive forest environments. Expected outcomes are procedures to accelerate returns of vertebrate fauna to mine-sites, measurements of thinning and burning practices on tree-health, and trial procedures for forest thinning (the 12000 Ha Wungong catchment) that minimise impacts on terrestrial vertebrates.
