I am going to post something that was sent to me from Professor Haikai Tane regarding the role of plants restoring degraded landscapes and the role of biodiversity in pristine environments.

Plan to Action- Mobilise the Women of Australia
The situation in our landscape is verging on 'catastrophic' says new NSW Minister Phil Koperberg. Every four days a farmer is committing suicide. Every day the prolonged drought is sending some farmers to the wall. And yet do we all fiddle while the country burns. Yes, it seems so. But there is a so...

Farming is about producing a product from the sun and air that a farmer can sell. The thistles have the capacity to double their weight every 10 days ie they can increase their weight from 1kg to 2kg to 4kg to 8kg to 16kg in 40 days. This means they are sequesting carbon and pulling up minerals from...

Hi Victoria, I spoke later with Peter Andrews and he said that the fireweed is more likely to be indicative of the end of a prolonged period of degradation and the fireweed plant is trying to rebuild an exhausted soil.

Peter believes that if you are able to slash the fireweed and put it at the top of the hydrology, above the infestation, then allow water/rain to pulse thru the fireweed mulch,it will rot down and the resultant waste will travel down tothe remaining inground fireweed,killing it, because it will not ...

How do we lessen the risk of bush fires without burning?
Before the arrival of our indigenous people some 40-60,000 years ago the natural fire regime in the Australian landscape was 1 in every 300 years. From around 40000 years ago the fire cycles became more evident and frequent, occuring every 3-4 years. This is evidenced from core drilling of the Great...
