Seller's Description:
Very good. 430 p., illustrations, bibliography, index. This book provides the first detailed treatment of the ecology and management of the eucalypt woodlands of temperate southern Australia. These are the gum and box tree dominated landscapes depicted by painters such as Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and Hans Heysen and which are to many the quintessential image of the Australian bush. They were once widespread in what are now Australia's agricultural heartlands, but are now increasingly fragmented and modified, and are under threat from rising water tables, lack of regeneration and other degrading influences. Despite their former extent and the need for urgent conservation action, there has previously been little attempt to pull information on woodlands together. In this book, leading researchers and managers from around Australia provide up-to-date information on the status, management and conservation of woodlands. The first section provides an overview of the distribution and status of woodlands both nationally and in each state, and subsequent sections cover threats, processes and management, regeneration and repair, and socioeconomic issues relating to woodland conservation and management. The book should be of interest to anyone concerned with woodland management and conservation, and will be a useful source book to researchers, teachers and students.
