Abstract

This case study focuses on a small remnant patch of Brigalow vegetation community, located near Spring Ridge on the Liverpool Plains in New South Wales, Australia. This remnant is unique in that it represents the southern-most distribution of Brigalow vegetation. The first part of this case study focuses on characterising the composition of the remnant patch to determine how it fits into the broad spectrum of Brigalow woodland. The second part investigates seed germination of Acacia harpophylla. Three experimental trials were done to determine the effects of imbibition, soil, and nutrients on germination. This study contributes to our understanding of the distribution of Brigalow in NSW, as well as the biology of A. harpophylla, with the intention of entering the discussion around the viability of protecting and regenerating small remaining patches of Brigalow vegetation.
