We use an applied ecological approach to weed and pest management that is tailored to your site and species.
Succession Ecology has PhD-accredited environmental scientists with particular expertise in scientific design, research and reporting. We can establish field and laboratory research trials, experiments and monitoring programs for your site to deliver evidence-based, quantifable decision-making tools.
Assessing your seed and site before embarking on a project will ensure that you know what outcomes to expect. For example knowing:
- How much of your seed is viable allows you to predict germination outcomes and allows you to determine whether other factors may be impacting your revegetation outcomes.
- What native seed is in your soil already healps you to determine the quanitites of seed you will need to add to your site to achieve the cover you require.
- What weed seed is in your soil allows you to determine the types of weed mamagement programs may be required moving forward for your project.
- What soil chemistry issues are in your soil, these may impede seed germination and plant growth
