A taste of research results from the Native Vegetation R&D Program 10 years on. In this issue: Creating a native vegetation management industry; From principles to practice - managing native vegetation

Jann Williams' highly readable and useful report summarises the outputs of the first five years of a remarkable program of research and development focused on the conservation and management of Australia's remnant native vegetation

This report has been commissioned by the Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (LWRRDC) as part of an initiative to encourage research into groundwater problems facing Australia. Finding workable options to control diffuse groundwater pollution represented a major unsolved issue facing groundwater management agencies throughout Australia.

Invasive species and in particular weeds are considered one of the major threats to the sustainable management of natural resources. This publication is one of a suite of 13 produced as part of a folder showcasing research from the Defeating the Weed Menace Research and Development program.

s report evaluated the usefulness of foresighting techniques to improve the information available to the Land and Water Research and development Corporation (LWRRDC) for planning and managing expenditure on research and development. LWRRDC intended to use a foresighting process as a management and design aid for four key programs in the areas of national dryland salinity, remnant vegetation, national river health and irrigation

Weeds pose a significant threat to natural ecosystems in Australia and consequently large quantities of resources are spent each year to manage them. Amongst these, species identified as Weeds of National Significance (WoNS) are particularly important. The capacity of weed management programs to contribute to biodiversity conservation in Australia has not been comprehensively assessed. This publication is one of a suite of 13 produced as part of a folder showcasing research from the Defeating the Weed Menace Research and Development program.

This publication outlines the current knowledge of wetland resources within the specified WA region and then identifies key current issues in wetland management. Information on the current knowledge of the region's wetland resources has been sourced from a significant number of recent publications publish ed by State government agencies and academic institutions t ions. Substantial advancements have been made in the areas of wetland mapping and evaluation, ecological research, environmental water requirements, wetland classification, and wetland hydrology research.
