Native vegetation

Sustainably managing Queensland's native vegetation is complex and challenging for policy makers and land managers alike who require relevant, reliable scientific information for good decision making.

In 2002, CIRM began a six-year investigation focussing on Queensland's native vegetation management.

CIRM publications on native vegetation management:

Final report including key R&D themes: Queensland's native vegetation: priorities for future research and development. (Wright, 2008).
Working Group history: Setting priorities for research and development to support the management of Queensland's native vegetation. (Bruce, 2007).
Initial Position Paper: Prioritising Research on Native Vegetation in Queensland (Tait, 2004).
CIRM factsheets on funded R&D projects:
Promoting biodiversity outcomes in carbon offset plantations
Australia's changing landscape: impacts on regional climate

Recent Initiatives:

The "climate package": an investment strategy for managing Queensland's native vegetation in a changing climate

Previously funded collaborative projects:

Modelling impacts of vegetation cover change on regional climate (Project Leader C. McAlpine, UQ, funded by Land and Water Australia: 2006-2009)
Biodiversity values and functional ecology of regrowth vegetation in modified landscapes (Project Leader T. Eyre, EPA, funded by Land and Water Australia: 2006-2009)
