Millions of hectares of temperate woodland and billions of trees have
been cleared from Australia's agricultural landscapes. This has allowed
land to be developed for cropping and grazing livestock but has also had
significant environmental impacts, including erosion, salinity and loss
of native plant and animal species.
Restoring Farm Woodlands for Wildlife focuses on why restoration is
important and describes best practices approaches to restore farm
woodlands for birds, mammals and reptiles. Based on 19 years of
long-term research in temperate agricultural south-eastern Australia,
this book addresses practical questions such as what, where and how much
to plant, ways to manage plantings and how plantings change over time.
It will be a key reference for farmers, natural resource management
professionals and policy-makers concerned with revegetation and
conservation.
