Abstract

This guide was mainly developed using information gathered from studies in Salmon gum (E. salmonophloia) woodlands. However, the principles in this guide can be broadly applied as it considers the general ecological processes that occur within most woodlands.

If your goal is to restore a woodland to a healthy, functioning unit with a range of original species, this guide provides a way of diagnosing the health of individual woodlands and some of the causes of poor health. It also suggests some relevant management actions.

There is a huge array of different types of Euclaypr Woodlands in the Western Australian Whearbelr, many of which are complex natural communities chat have not been comprehensively studied. For this reason, management specifications for each type of woodland are not possible. This document can only serve as a guide and expert advice should be sought whenever possible.

Each woodland will be different, as will the goals and requirements of each land manager. Therefore guidelines and informatiu11 sources like these are useful to a certain point, after which, the land manager must determine the specific actions and methods. There are a number of other information sources char can help in making these decisions (see references on opposite page).

This guide only looks at actions to rake within an individual remnant and therefore should be integrated with landscape-scale planning (farm and catchment plans) to link in with proposed corridors and revegetation for conservation, agricultural and hydrological purposes. Action plans for individual woodlands designed in isolation will not ensure the long-term survival of the woodland.
