This project aims to determine the efficacy of different approaches for restoring wetland forests at the landscape scale. The death and decline of Victoria’s wetland forests, crucial habitat for the endangered helmeted honeyeater and Leadbeater's possum, most likely result from modified flooding patterns, low native tree and shrub recruitment and increased competition from understorey plants. The project intends to reinstate a more natural flood regime, planting native species and reducing competition from dense understorey vegetation. In this way, the project aims to test and advance ecological theory, guide wetland restoration and inform management plans for saving Victoria’s iconic fauna.

该项目旨在确定在景观尺度上恢复湿地森林的不同方法的效力。维多利亚的湿地森林是濒危的盔吸蜜鸟和Leadbeater负鼠的重要栖息地，其死亡和衰退很可能是由于洪水模式改变、本土树木和灌木招募减少以及来自林下植物的竞争增加。该项目旨在恢复一个更自然的洪水制度，种植本地物种，减少密集的林下植被的竞争。通过这种方式，该项目旨在测试和推进生态理论，指导湿地恢复，并为拯救维多利亚标志性动物群的管理计划提供信息。
