The aim of restoration ecology is to achieve a landscape that meets vegetation cover objectives and provides sustainable wildlife habitats. The course explores the wide range of viewpoints and published literature about vegetation objectives and methods to achieve the optimum vegetation cover and design.
Restoration Ecology presents current theories of restoration in science and practice. The ecological approach links ecological theory in lectures to practical restoration in the field. Examples of successful restoration are presented as case studies used to monitor the effectiveness of on on-ground works and prescribed management regimes. Students practice applying ecological theory to habitat designs on degraded land, with the help of previous students and Aboriginal collaborators. New projects arise for future research in restoration.
