Total change in relative abundance and spread (as a % ) resulting from implementation of controls and management plans for the following categories Area(ha) with high density infestation (75% - 100% cover) - core area Increase in core area due to prolong drought and summer rainfall core area has increased due to drought and bare ground and bushfires core infestation on the increase due to prolong periods odf drought and bare ground core infestation remain unchanged Coreinfestation decreased by bio control and heavy grazing presure in drought decrease in core infestation probably reflecting over estimate the last time. core infestations reduce due to tergeted control programs Decreased resulting from targeted programs. Slight reduction in area infested from regular control and biological control Reduction in area through control of one creek line Increase in area resulting from bare groud and summer rainfall no change in area infested.
Area (ha) with medium density infestation (20% - 74% cover) - marginal area Increase in medium infeatation area due to prolong drought and summer rainfall Medium infestation area has increased due to drought and bare ground and bushfires medium infestation on the increase due to prolong periods of drought and bare ground medium infestations reduced due to grazing pressure in drought mediun density infestation decreased by bio control and heavy grazing presure in drought decrease in medium infestation probably reflecting over estimate the last time. medium infestations reduce due to tergeted control programs Decreased resulting from targeted programs along rivers. Slight reduction in area infested from regular control and biological control Reduction in area through control of one creek line Increase in area resulting from bare groud and summer rainfall no change in area infested.
Area (ha) with low density infestation (1% - 19% cover) - rare and isolated Increase in low infeatation area due to prolong drought and summer rainfall Light infestation area has increased due to drought and bare ground and bushfires low density maintain stable despite bare ground due to grought Low density infestation reduced Light infestations have increased in areas not stocked. slight increase due to low priority of weed low density has increased as high and medium infestation has decreased to low density. Decreased resulting from targeted programs. Slight reduction in area infested from regular control and biological control Reduction in area through control of one creek line Increase in area resulting from bare groud and summer rainfall no change in area infested.
