Over 4 million Ha of Australian land is currently in need of revegetation. To facilitate this, large-scale revegetation programs utilising native species are urgently required. Currently, many desirable species are difficult to propagate due to deep intractable dormancy, but are nevertheless needed due to their keystone function in many ecosystems. The aim is to therefore investigate seed dormancy alleviation in key rehabilitation species. Outcomes flowing from this project will significantly increase the suite of species currently available for land restoration efforts by land rehabilitation practitioners and will therefore increase the quality and effectiveness of Australian restoration programs.

目前，澳大利亚有400多万公顷的土地需要重新植被。为了促进这一点，迫切需要利用本地物种的大规模重新植被计划。目前，许多理想的物种很难繁殖，由于深度顽固的休眠，但仍然需要，由于他们在许多生态系统的基石功能。因此，目的是调查种子休眠缓解关键恢复物种。该项目的成果将大大增加土地恢复从业人员目前可用于土地恢复工作的物种，从而提高澳大利亚恢复计划的质量和有效性。
