Carbon sequestration from revegetation

Revegetation for biodiversity enhancement, environmental services, dedicated carbon crops, farm forestry, renewable bioenergy crops and fodder shrubs have the potential to sequester significant amounts of carbon in South Australia.

The Carbon Sequestration from Revegetation project provided evaluations of the growth, productivity and carbon sequestration rates of native plants species planted in woodlots and environmental planting across several regions of South Australia. This research also detailed the development of allometric techniques for assessing plant biomass for carbon accounting and inputs into national Carbon Farming Initiative carbon accounting tools.

A series of research reports detailing the outcomes of this project are provided below:
