Eucalypt woodlands of southern Australia have been heavily cleared for agriculture: much effort and expense is going towards revegetation of these woodlands to conserve biodiversity, and restore ecosystem services they provide. Current restoration methods are purely empirical, with little understanding of why they work. This project will experimentally investigate revegetation practices to uncover ecological processes they utilise, and other ecological processes that potentially can be utilised but are currently not. The cost-effectiveness of different practices will be compared. The outcome of the project will be revegetation practices for eucalypt woodlands that are evidence-based and cost-effective, rather than rule of thumb.

澳大利亚南部的桉树林地已经被大量清理用于农业：大量的努力和费用用于恢复这些林地的植被，以保护生物多样性，并恢复它们提供的生态系统服务。目前的修复方法纯粹是经验性的，几乎不了解它们为什么有效。该项目将对植被重建实践进行实验性调查，以揭示它们所利用的生态过程，以及其他潜在可以利用但目前还没有利用的生态过程。将比较不同做法的成本效益。该项目的结果将是桉树林地的重建实践，这些实践是基于证据和成本效益的，而不是经验法则。
