These ecological functions and processes contribute to the health of waterways. In many urban and semiurban areas, riparian vegetation is subject to degradation pressures such as land clearing for urban development, altered hydrological regimes due to modified catchment land cover and runoff patterns and other human-induced disturbances. Monitoring riparian vegetation cover and condition is vital for informing effective management. This can be achieved via detailed field assessment; however, this is often costly, time and labour intensive and extremely difficult to undertake across large regions such as an entire stream network. This study examines the utility of medium-resolution Sentinel-2 satellite imagery for monitoring riparian vegetation across the Greater Melbourne region, Australia. The paper demonstrates several examples of how spectral trends from Sentinel-2 imagery (2019–2023) can be used to provide insights, which are expected to improve over time as more data become available. We also assessed the potential of combining Sentinel-2 imagery with field observations to model riparian vegetation conditions. Using 425 field observations and a series of Sentinel-2–derived predictor variables, a Random Forest regression model was developed to model riparian vegetation condition. The model explained 53% of the variance in the data. Although the spatial resolution of Sentinel-2 (10 m) is a limitation when working with narrow riparian vegetation corridors, our methods demonstrate it can be used to help prioritise areas for protection and/or enhancement and identify areas that may be at risk of further degradation. This can assist waterway managers to prioritise field activities such as restoration and revegetation, and the control of key weeds and browsing animals.</p>","PeriodicalId":54325,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Management & Restoration","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/emr.12624","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigated the outcomes of direct seeding at four degraded sites in the Andean mountains of Cauca, Colombia. We used 45 native tree species, most of them commonly used in restoration projects in the Andean region of Colombia. After 150 days of sowing, we evaluated seedling emergence, survival and establishment costs. Performance of direct seeding was markedly different across sites. Most species had low seedling emergence, with Guayaba (<i>Psidium guajava</i>) and Matachande (<i>Bocconia frutescens</i>) showing the highest emergence.

However, conservation fences can have unintended negative consequences on other species within their vicinity, interrupting movement patterns and causing mortality via entrapment. A key component of conservation fence design should be the inclusion of structures to allow the transit of species negatively affected by fences, while maintaining an effective barrier to threats. In this study, we designed and tested a method to allow the movement of Eastern Long-necked Turtles (<i>Chelodina longicollis</i>) through a ‘turtle tunnel’ under a conservation fence. This Australian freshwater turtle periodically migrates over land in response to changing weather conditions, wet-dry cycles of wetlands, to nest, and to seek habitat and food resources. We tested the ability of wild-caught Eastern Long-necked Turtles to enter and traverse turtle tunnels in pen trials. We found that Turtles were able to navigate the turtle tunnels as intended, with 100% of individuals entering tunnels and 44% successfully traversing the tunnels during the timed trial. These results were used to inform the placement of nine turtle tunnels along a new conservation fence at Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay Territory, Australia. We monitored installed turtle tunnels at Jervis Bay for 6 months using a combination of camera traps and observational data collected during daily fence line checks. We found further evidence for the use of tunnels by Eastern Long-necked Turtles and found that Foxes did not attempt to traverse tunnels. From our findings, we suggest that turtle tunnels be considered in the construction of conservation fences where they intersect with known areas of freshwater turtle migrations, but that further research is required to assess the long-term effectiveness of the design as a wildlife transit device.</p>","PeriodicalId":54325,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Management & Restoration","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/emr.12623","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today, they persist as scattered fragments in matrices of highly modified farmland, where fire is rare and eucalypt trees are in decline. Returning fire to these fragments is a suggested approach to reduce fuels and stimulate eucalypt recruitment. We implemented a single round of small, low-intensity surface fires in a woodland fragment in the Tasmanian Midlands and assessed adult eucalypt mortality and juvenile recruitment. The fires were set during mild fire weather, were tended by 4–15 people, and fire-fighting vehicles were used to extinguish burning trees. Still, the fires killed 7% of adult eucalypts (18 trees), mostly due to cambial girdling which occurred where burning litter and coarse woody debris at the base of the trees initiated smouldering fires in thick bark on the lower trunks. Seedling recruitment was restricted to ash beds near trees with viable seed crops. Seedlings survived only if protected from mammalian herbivores. Herbivore protection also increased the growth of lignotuberous sprouts after fire. Our findings demonstrate that eucalypt trees in degraded woodland fragments may be vulnerable to low-intensity surface fire. We make recommendations as to how managers may burn woodland fragments in ways that avoid killing eucalypt trees and enhance postfire recruitment, enabling transition to more sustainable fire regimes.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":54325,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Management & Restoration","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we describe the successful implementation of a novel approach to advancing one such formerly intractable issue – assessing the genetic health and status of the island's Dingoes to resolve latent conflicts and assist protected area managers with their conservation activities. We developed a participatory, independent approach centred on community workshops to identify research priorities, expert workshops to identify appropriate research methods, then the commissioning of independent scientific research to address community priorities in accordance with the experts' suggested methods. The overall aim of the project was to provide managers with robust and policy-ready information on the genetic health and status of the Dingoes – information that also met community expectations and was widely supported by subject matter experts. The participatory approach of the project achieved this aim and was completed successfully and satisfactorily for all involved despite the occurrence of some expected challenges and necessary compromises. Here we describe the background to the problem, how the project was designed, the key challenges the project faced during implementation, and the key learnings from the exercise, thereby highlighting its innovative features as a participatory conflict resolution process.

In coastal catchments of New South Wales, Australia, vegetation is returning to rivers that were historically cleared for agriculture and are now experiencing geomorphic recovery. We present a rapid riparian assessment method for rivers undergoing vegetative and geomorphic recovery in this region. It addresses a gap in available rapid assessments by providing a methodology that can be used at sites with no historical analogue. Our assessment method adapts and extends a widely used method called the Rapid Assessment of Riparian Condition (RARC) to capture the quality of returning riparian vegetation along recovering rivers (<i>rec</i>), including native species diversity and vegetation structure (hence the name RARC<i>rec</i>). The RARC<i>rec</i> incorporates four sub-indices – vegetation cover, native species richness, proportion of native to exotic species, and features of vegetation health – to produce an overall vegetation condition score that classifies sites as poor, moderate, or good condition. Scores for each sub-index are assessed for the vegetation strata (groundcover, graminoids, midstorey, vines, and canopy) on the landform units of river bars, benches, and floodplains. The RARC<i>rec</i> has been designed to be sufficiently general for use in the main Vegetation Formations in coastal New South Wales and has been trialled at 36 sites across this region.

TNR supports a population of Platypus, occupying interconnected ponds within a predator proof fence. During drought conditions in 2019, Platypuses could not move out of the fenced area to refugia as floodgates were closed due to low water levels. In winter of 2019, eight Platypuses were found deceased resulting from starvation. By December, water levels were extremely low and ponds were continuing to dry. Given these circumstances, a rescue intervention was undertaken to capture stranded Platypuses. They were temporarily relocated and housed at Taronga Zoo, Sydney, until they were returned when conditions at TNR improved. Seven Platypuses were rescued, with five successfully housed at Taronga for 5 months. One Platypus was lost after escaping from its enclosure and another Platypus died when trapped in a crevice. The Platypuses were returned after water levels increased at TNR and were monitored for 500 days post-release, demonstrating successful repatriation. This case study outlines the key stages and considerations required for this intervention, providing critical information for rescue attempts on drought-affected Platypus populations. There is a need to continue developing a decision framework for interventions of climate-affected populations, including quantifying trigger thresholds and conservation prioritisation of populations.
