These conceptual understanding of what vegetation can inform our stewardship of Vegetation and Revegetation particularly in the provision of Riparian Buffering Functions and in the design of strategies like Agroforestry or Native Riverscape Agroforestry.

This is a page for exploring how to organize information about vegetation processes in a way that is useful.

  • Succession
  • Assembly and Filters
  • Stress
  • Disturbance
  • Competition
  • Stem Exclusion and Self-Pruning
  • Accelerated Succession
  • Syntropic Agroforestry
