Restoration of temperate eucalypt woodland: getting it right

澳大利亚南部的桉树林地已被大量砍伐用于农业：大量的努力和费用用于重新植被这些林地，以保护生物多样性，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，对它们的工作原理知之甚少。该项目将通过实验研究重新植被做法，以揭示它们所利用的生态过程，以及其他可能被利用但目前尚未利用的生态过程。将比较不同做法的成本效益。 该项目的成果将是以证据为基础和具有成本效益的、而不是凭经验的欧洲林地重新植被做法。

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.
