| Lineage | Fitzroy pilot restoration trial was established in November 2013 sowing 15 native grassland species in combination with freely available farmyard treatments that included sheep dung, dags (woolen off-cuts), microbial slurry made from dung, wooden pallets, windproof fencing and their combinations. The seed mixture was sown at ~2.5g m2 before applying treatments. Each plot was 2 x 2 square metres in order to accommodate large tussock-forming species (i.e. Poa flabellata, Elymus magellanicus). Plots were monitored monthly - tri-monthly for environmental conditions using hand-held temperature (Checktemp Hanna Inst.), moisture probe (ML3 delta) and anemometer (Met office) at 3 random points within each plot. Total plant and species covered was monitored annually (Spring during flowering) using a quadrat approach. Within each plot, four 1 x 1 m2 quadrats segregated into 2.5 x 2.5 cm squares (361 sq in total) were used to determined total plant cover of each species. Both plant cover, vegetation present in a square, and rooting frequency, plant base found in a square, were recorded. Maximum height in three random points within a plot was also measured. |
