OUTCOME 1: CONSERVATION Tuart and its ecosystems will be adequately conserved and sustainably managed in reserves and on private lands Ensure that tuart trees in grassed parks are conserved Targets Strategies 15. By Q4 2006 local authorities will have mapped and recorded all the tuart trees in their grassed parks within the tuart belt. 16. By Q4 2008, all urban local authorities within the tuart belt will have an active program to conserve tuart trees in their grassed parks, favouring methods using natural regeneration. • Contact local authorities concerned, and where necessary conduct meetings with their representatives and instruct them in how to identify and record tuart trees. • Instruct the local authorities concerned on suitable methods, especially the creation of garden beds for the natural regeneration of tuart and the planting of species of the tuart understorey. 35
OUTCOME 2: RESEARCH Investigations will lead to a thorough knowledge of the biological value of tuart and its ecosystems, and a thorough understanding of what affects tuart’s health AIM: Undertake research that documents tuart’s biological value Targets Strategies 17. By Q3 2005 a business plan of key research projects, principal investigators and funding arrangements is completed for research into tuart’s biological value. • Develop programs and establish research priorities for documenting the full suites of invertebrate and vertebrate animals associated with tuart. • Develop programs and establish research priorities that address gaps in the knowledge of tuart’s biology 15 . AIM: Undertake ecological research addressing tuart’s health Targets Strategies 18. By Q4 2006 a business plan of key research projects, principle investigators and funding arrangements is completed for research into tuart health • Develop programs and establish priorities for tuart woodland research including: (i) ecosystem health, (ii) synergies between biodiversity conservation, land repair and agriculture, (iii) fragmentation of habitat and connectivity, (iv) critical thresholds, (v) habitat alteration impacts on the biota and ecosystem processes, and (vi) re-establishment techniques for disturbed and degraded tuart woodland sites. • Identify high disturbance areas (eg. Yalgorup decline), and implement specific research programs aimed at the management of protectable sites and the restoration and rehabilitation of disturbed sites. • Encourage and fund research and development projects that integrate the sustainable conservation and management of tuart woodlands with urban and industrial development and agriculture. • Involve land managers in setting priorities and conducting research. • Ensure that research and information projects are relevant to tuart conservation and management problems and have clear implementation outcomes. • Ensure that integration process takes account of environmental risks. 15 Includes reproductive biology, phenology, seed-bank dynamics, seedling recruitment, and the effects of fragmentation and fire regimes on tuart and understorey vegetation species (Ruthrof et al. 2002). 36
