Succession Ecology designed and implemented a monitoring program for identifying recovery potential and then assessing post seeding outcomes benchmarked against the surrounding chenopod shrubland for a recovery program on Defence land. 

​

This project involved the revegetation of land disturbed during the expansion of training facilities at the Cultana Training area.  The areas disturbed by construction comprised a total of 85Ha over two sites (27Ha at Site 1 and 58Ha at Site 2). 

​

Surveys found that the sites for recovery had a minimal native seedbank and needed boosting with native seed.  Post seeding surveys have found an average germination response of 17 native plants per m2 despite below average rainfall. 

​

Our services for this project include:

• Seed ‒ collection, cleaning and supply

• Seeding ‒ direct seeding of all areas

• Seedbanks ‒ seedbank assessment

• Monitoring ‒ design and establish monitoring program, surveys, and reporting
