What’s Happening with Natural Regeneration
Posted on 17 July, 2013 by Connecting Country
Ian Lunt is a vegetation ecologist who works at Charles Sturt University. He recently gave a talk about the value of natural regeneration occurring across central Victoria at the Biodiversity Across The Borders conference in Ballarat. This type of regeneration, he explained, is slow and often unnoticed. Assisted by economic factors and the demand for amenity land use, he argues that it is having far more effect on our environment than intentional planting or direct seeding. To view the complete talk, visit this YouTube clip. His blog also has some interesting information on this and other topics.
For those interested in this subject, I notice that Ian is presenting this work at the upcoming Bendigo Field Nats meeting on Wed Aug 14. http://www.bendigofnc.com.au/diary.html
