Management of native vegetation is critical to ensuring Australian landscapes are managed in an ecologically sustainable way. In this subject, students will explore the major types of Australian plants and communities, the key determinants of plant distributions and how plant communities function. Students will learn about disturbances and threatening processes to plant communities such as fire, grazing, fragmentation, land clearing and weed invasions. Students will explore how climate change interacts with other threatening processes to impact on Australian vegetation. This knowledge will equip students to develop vegetation management plans for a range of different real-world scenarios.
