Rainforest Restoration Manual for South-Eastern Australia
is the definitive guide to the recovery and restoration of
Subtropical, Warm Temperate, Cool Temperate, Gallery, Dry, Dry
Gully and Littoral Rainforests from south-eastern Queensland to
Tasmania. All of these rainforest types were inherently rare
prior to settlement, and today with depletion, feral animals,
weeds and climate change, all are threatened – with many listed
under state and federal legislation.
The manual presents detailed restoration methods in 10
easy-to-follow steps, documenting the research and trials
undertaken during rainforest restoration over more than two
decades. These experiments and their results will empower
readers to uncover answers to many of the problems they could
encounter.
The manual is supported by a CD that provides important
background information, with 32 appendices, a propagation manual
for the region's 735 rainforest plants, an illustrated glossary
and resources for teachers. Species lists and specific planting
guides are provided for the 57 rainforest floristic communities
that occur from the coast to the mountains between Durras
Mountain in New South Wales and the Otways in Victoria.
Extensively illustrated with colour photographs, this book
will empower you or your group to be able to restore, manage,
protect and conserve the magnificent rainforests that are in
your care. The general principles and techniques described will
meet the needs of students and teachers, novices, experienced
practitioners, community groups and agencies alike.
