Increase resilience by preserving biodiversity

Approach

Tactics

Identify important habitat manipulations based on monitoring.
Protect critical areas.
Inventory and monitor plants in riparian areas and groundwater-dependent ecosystems.
Identify important habitat by linking functional resilience of current vegetation to climate change scenarios and phenology.
Through assessment process, identify locations appropriate for introducing or managing natural wildfire or mechanical work; embrace disturbance.

Sensitivity

• Climate change will affect phenology and species interactions (e.g. predation/ competition) of riparian and wetland species.

Strategy

Maintain and enhance genetic diversity
