Centre for Mined Land Rehabilitation

Rehabilitating with native grass species

Investigating the mechanisms that prevent the germination of native grass seeds in minesite rehabilitation

Native grasses are an important part of pre-mined landscapes
Recruitment failure is often due to seed dormancy
Very little is known about dormancy in native grasses

This project is investigating mechanisms of dormancy in a number of Australian native grass species.

Information gathered through this project will lead to a more successful use of native grasses in minesite rehabilitation.
