The aim of this project is to compile land use and management practices and their observed and measured impacts and effects on vegetation condition. The results provide land managers and researchers with a tool for reporting and monitoring spatial and temporal transformations of Australia’s native vegetated landscapes due to changes in land use and management practices. Following are the details about South Brooman State Forest, NSW.

Pre-European reference-analogue vegetation: The site was originally eucalypt tall open forest, multi-aged open, dry sclerophyll forest. The main overstorey species were spotted gum (Corymbia maculata), Eucalyptus muelleriana, E. paniculata, E. pilularis. The main understorey species were Acacia spp., Acmena spp.

Brief chronology of changes in land use and management: 1830: Unmodified 1880: Area picked over for high quality sawlogs 1945: Area picked over for high quality sawlogs 1949: Sawlog harvesting - 85% of area 1959: Sawlog harvesting - 85% of area 1968: Commercial Thinning - 25% of area 1969: Area left to rehabilitate 1994: Wildfire - 100% of the area 1996: Pole harvesting - 5% of area 1998: Sawlog harvesting - 20% of the area 1999 and 2003: Hazard reduction 1997: Site was burnt (prescribed fire) followed by drought 2004-2011: Area left to rehabilitate
